Rembrandt
Orchestration layer for coding agents - parallel execution without collision
Rembrandt
Like Rembrandt's workshop - multiple apprentices working on different parts of the canvas, unified by the master into a cohesive masterpiece.
Orchestration layer for coding agents (Claude Code, OpenCode, AmpCode, Codex, etc.) that enables parallel execution without collision.
Status
In Development - Migrating to Tauri + Svelte + xterm.js GUI.
The CLI commands work. The GUI is being built to provide a desktop app where each agent gets its own terminal widget.
Vision
Run multiple AI coding agents simultaneously on the same codebase without them stepping on each other. Zoom out to see the symphony, zoom in to conduct any agent.
Quick Start
# Build the CLI
cargo build --release
# Initialize in your project
rembrandt init
# Spawn an agent (interactive - prompts for starting task)
rembrandt spawn claude
# Spawn with an initial prompt
rembrandt spawn claude --prompt "implement the login form"
# Spawn from a specific branch
rembrandt spawn opencode --branch feature/auth
# List active sessions
rembrandt list
# Clean up orphaned worktrees
rembrandt gc
GUI (In Development)
cd gui
npm install
npm run tauri dev

Isolation Strategy
Each agent gets an isolated git worktree:
project/
├── .git/ # Shared git database
├── main/ # Human workspace
├── .rembrandt/
│ ├── agents/
│ │ ├── agent-1/ # Agent 1's worktree
│ │ └── agent-2/ # Agent 2's worktree
│ └── state.db # Session state
Integrations
- Beads - Task tracking (
bd ready,bd sync) - Porque - ADR context (
pq context,pq check) - Agent Mail - Inter-agent communication
