Opaal Visual multi-agent prompt designer for Claude Code and agentic AI

Drag‑and‑drop phases and agent cards with a live prompt preview is a smart ergonomics win — you can wire agents manually or rely on smart auto-connections and export a CLAUDE.md or .opaal file. The app shows attention to UX (keyboard shortcuts, 50-level undo, auto-detect of local Claude Code skills), but it's an Electron MVP tightly focused on the Claude ecosystem, so its appeal outside that niche is limited.
