A project board for coding agents
I've been hacking on something in my evenings that I'm pretty excited about.
It's a harness for building software with coding agents, but instead of a chat it's more like a project board.
How it works
When you have a new feature or a fix you want built, you file it as a card. From there it moves through phases:
- An agent turns the idea into a spec.
- You approve it.
- An agent implements it in its own git worktree.
- A second one reviews the diff.
- A third checks every criterion.
- It lands on your desk as a pull request. You merge.
Why not chat
Chat-first agents keep the work in a thread. Orchestrators like Conductor run sessions side by side, with you driving each one. Shared boards like Herdr give agents a surface but not a pipeline with gates.
I wanted the async tier: work that's well-defined enough to hand off, advanced by a crew while I'm elsewhere, with finished results queuing for a decision.
Building it with itself
I'm building it with the exact workflow it implements, using Claude Code skills and subagents as a stand-in for the harness. Soon it'll be far enough along to take over its own development, which is when I'll find out if the idea actually holds.
