●●SolidBig BrainShip It

Git worktree isolation per agent prevents merge conflicts unlike Conductor.

Strengths
  • Git worktree per agent solves the stepping-on-each-other problem elegantly.
  • tmux-style BST pane layout fits the terminal-native audience perfectly.
  • Real-time token usage and tool call observability across all agents.
Weaknesses
  • No distributable binaries — users must clone and build from source.
  • Multi-agent orchestration space getting crowded with Conductor and others.
Target Audience

Post Description

Yesterday, during a YC company's interview, the CTO asked me to claude up "a claude code thing where he can have like 5 different claudes and see them at a glance"

I cooked something up during the interview, but I realized this was actually kind of useful and kept going after.

Anyways,

Orchestrator(tbh I named this pretty arbitrarily) is a desktop app that lets you run multiple Claude Code agents side by side in split panes, tmux style (it even uses tmux style BSTs!!). Each agent gets its own git worktree, and you can see potential merge conflicts, token usage, etc. in real time.

Basically, the main usecase is that, if you want to have 6 claudes running side by side, working on different things, and you want deep observability into each claude (unlike conductor), but you also want to prevent merge conflicts, orchestrator is probably your best bet right now.

I don't have an apple developer license, so you need to clone and build the repo yourself, but if someone is willing to sponsor or help build this using their developer signing key thing, I can package it into a dmg so more people can install it.

Also, fun fact, orchestrator was built using orchestrator :p
