How It Works

You watch, Chief works

1

Describe Your Project

Break down what you want to build into tasks. Chief takes it from there.

2

Chief Runs the Loop

Chief runs your agent in a loop, working through each task until it's done.

3

Code Gets Built

One commit per task. No giant diffs to untangle.

Key Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Single Binary

No runtime dependencies. Download the binary and run it. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Self-Contained State

Everything lives in .chief/. Easy to gitignore on shared projects.

Works Anywhere

Run locally or SSH into a remote server. Start a loop before bed and wake up to code.

Beautiful TUI

Real-time progress, live logs, and keyboard controls. Watch your code get built in style.
