- Best for
- Developers on GitHub who run several agent CLIs in parallel and want one board for worktrees, pull requests, CI failures, and review feedback.
- Avoid if
- You need GitLab or issue-tracker integration, a hosted team service, or OS-level sandboxing of agent processes.
01 / Editorial view
Where it fits
Strengths
- 27 documented agent harnesses
- Worktree isolation per worker
- CI, review, and merge-conflict feedback routed back to the owning agent
- Project-level orchestrator for planning and delegation
Limitations
- GitHub is the only shipped source-control integration
- Single-user local daemon; no hosted team offering is documented
- Worktrees isolate code, not processes or network access
- Remote telemetry is on by default in release builds
