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.

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.

---

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.

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
