Program notes

Notes from the pit

Short notes on conducting CLI agents. Not borrowed quotes. Not someone else’s launch graph.

Why the conductor is not a soloist

CodeOrch does not write the code. It keeps a hundred CLI agents on their own staves so you can hear the whole hall. If you want a single-session agent, stay in the terminal. If you want a backlog that moves, you need a pit.

Isolation is the downbeat

Git worktrees are the reason parallel agents do not collide. Each cue is a branch. Review is a diff. Merge is the cut. We did not invent Git. We sit it in the stand and light the cues.

Bring your own keys

Token burn belongs to you and your provider. CodeOrch does not proxy those calls. That is the product, not a footnote.
