Parallel, with a plan.
Leaders delegate bounded tasks. Task graphs make dependencies and handoffs explicit, so you can see how the work fits together.
Task graphs ↗ THE SPATIAL WORKSPACE FOR CODING AGENTS OPEN SOURCE · EARLY STAGE
Big ideas.
Bring a crew.
One outcome. A whole crew on it.
Run a local workspace where a Leader plans the work, delegates to coding agents, and brings their changes back for your review.

FAN OUT / FAN IN
Divide the work. Unite the result.
Independent tasks run side by side, then meet at a shared review.
Select a task to read its assignment. In a scrollable graph, use the arrow keys to pan, or Home and End to move to either edge.
THE LEADER
Holds the outcome, breaks down the work, and coordinates the crew. Each Minion gets a bounded assignment.

There’s more to building with agents than a chat window. Put your context, crew, and progress in one shared picture.

An infinite canvas for the whole project. Arrange agents, pin notes and screenshots, and connect the context that matters to your Leader.

04 / YOUR NEXT BIG THING
Put your crew
to work.
Your first mission starts with a local workspace.
Clone the repo, connect a harness, and get building.
BEFORE YOU START
Install Node.js 22+, pnpm, and Git. Sign in to one supported harness on this machine.
Harness setup & prerequisites ↗Use the current source: swarmcrews/swarmcrews ↗
# A new workspace for your agents
git clone https://github.com/swarmcrews/swarmcrews.git

If preflight reports a problem, open setup help. Harness usage and provider charges are separate.
What exactly is Swarmcrews?+
A spatial workspace for coordinating coding agents. You give a Leader an outcome, supply context, follow delegated Minion work through a task graph or dashboard, and review the result.
Which agents can I use?+
Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, and Pi. You need at least one authenticated harness on the machine running Swarmcrews. Each ready harness exposes its own configured model catalog.
Do Minions each get a separate worktree?+
Minions work in the Leader’s execution checkout. In isolated mode, the Leader has a separate Git worktree. Parallel assignments need distinct file ownership; declared overlapping write scopes are rejected.
Is it free to use?+
Swarmcrews is open source under the Apache 2.0 license. You bring your own authenticated harness and model-service account; your provider’s usage charges and terms still apply.
Is this ready for production?+
Swarmcrews is early-stage software. Expect rough edges and changing interfaces or data formats. Start with a small project, inspect the work, and use the repository’s getting-started guide to build familiarity.
