Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source local tool that runs coding agents on markdown tasks in isolated Git worktrees.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-29 issue.

For: Developers managing coding-agent work from a local backlog
Worth noticing: Tasks are plain Markdown, and the page says rejected work returns to the queue after rate limits, outages, or expired logins.

Field notes

The task model includes dependencies and grouping by external ticket ID or parent task. The page also describes queue recovery when an agent vendor rejects a task, plus commands to reclaim a stuck sandbox or remove a broken one. Installation is offered through a shell script or Go; the listed platforms are Linux and macOS, with Windows use routed through WSL.
