FLAGSHIP CAPABILITY
Gigacode
Spawn a whole engineering team in your terminal.
One command fans out a coordinated org of specialized sub-agents. A planner breaks down the work, coders build features in parallel, investigators read the codebase, and a judge reviews and synthesizes. Pipelines, loops, and review panels run as scripted, resumable workflows with every artifact saved to disk.

sub-agents
Specialized sub-agents
Planning, coder, investigation, general, and browser agents, with live activity tracking in the Textual TUI.
plan / build
Plan / build workflow
Read-only Plan mode for investigation and a reviewable task list; Build mode to implement. Toggle with Shift+Tab.
routing
Model routing
Assign different models to long-context, fast, and thinking roles, and override the model per agent role.
web + browser
Web search & browsing
DuckDuckGo by default (no key); Firecrawl, Tavily, or SearXNG. Plus a Playwright browser agent for interactive sites.

# why local-first
Your machine. Your keys. No lock-in.
Sessions, settings, permissions, OAuth tokens, and API-key settings stay on your machine, with restrictive file permissions where applicable. Bring your own key or run a local model.
