Verdict: situational Verdict text: Brings git-worktree isolation, durable leases, and a three-tier scheduler to long-running agent workflows. It is engineered for teams that want many autonomous coding agents working on the same repo without stepping on each other. Setup is nontrivial and the documentation assumes you already run Claude Code or Codex. Limitations: - Requires bash 4+, Python, git, and a supported runner CLI already configured. - Engine must be installed from a checkout; there is no download mechanism for the pinned engine. - The default promoter is minimal, so real workflows need custom gate and promoter scripts.

Brings git-worktree isolation, durable leases, and a three-tier scheduler to long-running agent workflows. It is engineered for teams that want many autonomous coding agents working on the same repo without stepping on each other. Setup is nontrivial and the documentation assumes you already run Claude Code or Codex.
Strengths
- Git-worktree isolation, durable leases and a three-tier scheduler for agent workflows.
- Lets multiple autonomous coding agents work the same repo without collisions.
- GPL-3.0 open source and self-hostable on your own runner.
Known limitations
- Requires bash 4+, Python, git, and a supported runner CLI already configured.
- Engine must be installed from a checkout; there is no download mechanism for the pinned engine.
- The default promoter is minimal, so real workflows need custom gate and promoter scripts.
Use it when
- Teams running multiple long-lived coding agents against one repository.
- Shops already using Claude Code or Codex and wanting isolation and scheduling.
Skip it when
- You cannot install from source or configure a supported runner CLI.
- Your workflows need a polished default promoter out of the box.
- You lack the engineering time for nontrivial setup and custom gate scripts.
Buy-check
- ·Price — free, GPL-3.0 open source; bring your own runner (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) as of 2026-08-19. Open the pricing page, not a screenshot.
- ·Free tier — Free tier exists — burn it first.
- ·Cancel fallout — What happens to your data/projects on cancel — check the ToS, not the FAQ.
- ·Seat math — Per-seat pricing multiplies quietly. Count seats before the annual plan.
- ·Who skips it — Also skipped when: You cannot install from source or configure a supported runner CLI.; Your workflows need a polished default promoter out of the box..
