Field notes
The workflow begins with a folder and a shareable co-work code, then gives teammates a common board of tasks and file claims. The page describes agents running in separate worktrees, with tests gating automatic merges and conflicts handed back to a person. Its current download is listed as version 0.4.2 for macOS 14 or later; Linux and Windows are described as coming soon.
