## Features
| Feature | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Agent-Agnostic Platform** | 23+ agent adapters including [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview), [OpenAI Codex](https://openai.com/), [Cursor](https://cursor.com/), [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai/), [Aider](https://aider.chat/), [Amp](https://ampcode.com/manual), [Goose](https://goose-docs.ai/), [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot), [Grok](https://x.ai/grok), [Qwen Code](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code), [Kimi Code](https://www.kimi.com/code), [Cline](https://cline.bot/), [Continue](https://www.continue.dev/), [Kiro](https://kiro.dev/), and more |
| **Isolated Workspaces** | Each session spawns into its own git worktree with dedicated runtime |
| **Platform-Native Runtimes** | tmux on Darwin/Linux, conpty on Windows for optimal performance |
| **Live PR Observation** | Provider-neutral SCM observer with automatic feedback routing |
| **Automatic Feedback Routing** | CI failures, review comments, and merge conflicts routed to the owning agent |
| **Durable Facts Storage** | SQLite persists immutable facts with display status derived at read time |
| **CDC Broadcasting** | DB triggers append changes to change_log, broadcasted via SSE |
| **Desktop Experience** | Native Electron app with React UI and live terminal streaming |
| **Loopback-Only Daemon** | HTTP control over 127.0.0.1 with no auth, CORS, or TLS by design |
### Supported Agents
Works with 23+ CLI-based coding agents including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Aider, Amp, Goose, GitHub Copilot, Grok, Qwen Code, Kimi Code, Crush, Cline, Droid, Devin, Auggie, Continue, Kiro, and Kilo Code.
**If it runs in a terminal, it runs on Agent Orchestrator.**

## Telemetry
Agent Orchestrator collects minimal telemetry for reliability and product understanding. Data is stored locally by default; remote transmission is opt-in via environment variables. [Read the full telemetry policy](docs/telemetry.md).
---
## Architecture
Agent Orchestrator is a long-running Go daemon built around **inbound/outbound port contracts** with swappable adapters.
**Core mental model:** OBSERVE external facts → UPDATE durable facts → DERIVE display status / ACT
**Key components:**
- **Frontend** - Electron + React UI with TanStack Router/Query and shadcn/ui
- **Backend Daemon** - Go-based HTTP server with controllers, services, and adapters
- **Runtime** - Platform-specific: `tmux` on Darwin/Linux, `conpty` on Windows
- **Storage** - SQLite with change-data-capture (CDC) for real-time updates
- **Adapters** - 23+ agent adapters, git worktree workspace, GitHub SCM integration
For detailed architecture diagrams, data flows, and load-bearing rules, see [architecture.md](docs/architecture.md).

## Testing
```bash
# Backend tests
cd backend
go test -race ./...
# Frontend tests
cd frontend
pnpm test
# Full CI validation locally
npx @redwoodjs/agent-ci run --all
```

| `AO_PORT` | `3001` | HTTP bind port |
| `AO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT` | `60s` | Per-request timeout |
| `AO_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT` | `10s` | Graceful shutdown cap |
| `AO_RUN_FILE` | `~/.ao/running.json` | PID/port handshake |
| `AO_DATA_DIR` | `~/.ao/data` | SQLite data directory |
| `AO_AGENT` | `claude-code` | Compatibility agent adapter |
| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | - | GitHub auth token |
### Health Checks
```bash
curl localhost:3001/healthz # Liveness probe
curl localhost:3001/readyz # Readiness probe
