Coordinate AI coding agents through a visual workflow. Watch them work in real terminals. All local, all yours.
A complete platform for coordinating Claude, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, and other AI coding assistants
The Builders team grows itself — adding Coders when work piles up and picking the right model for each task. Cheaper models for routine changes, top-tier models for harder work.
Add multiple Architects to the Planning team, each on a different model. Plans get researched from several angles in parallel — better quality, fewer blind spots, no extra waiting.
Full transcript viewer for active agent sessions. See every tool call, thinking block, and response with real-time token usage and cost tracking.
Visual progress bars show each agent's context window usage in real time. Hover for exact token counts — never be surprised by a compaction.
Kanban-style epic management. Track phases, sub-epics, and backlogs in one view.
True tmux-backed terminals streamed to your browser. Watch agents work in real-time with full TTY support.
Domain-specific knowledge packs from Anthropic, OpenAI, Vercel, and others. Agents discover and apply relevant skills automatically.
Model Context Protocol endpoint for agent tool access. Epics, chat, teams, and documents all accessible via JSON-RPC.
All data in SQLite. No cloud dependency, full privacy. Your code never leaves your machine.
Run parallel agent teams on isolated branches. Each worktree gets its own environment, terminal, and chat — merge when done.
Works with Claude, Codex, Gemini, GLM, and OpenCode. Pick allowed providers per team at project creation, or override the model per agent on the fly.
An automated loop that handles planning, validation, coding, and review
Describe your requirements. The Brainstormer leads the Planning team and drafts a Master Plan with phases, epics, and acceptance criteria.
The Planning team validates the draft against your codebase in parallel — multiple Architects on different models cover each other's blind spots before final approval.
Review the plan, move epics to New status, and trigger execution. The automated loop begins.
The Builders team picks up each task with the right model for the job and adds more Coders when the workload grows. Code Reviewer checks each phase. You don't manage capacity.
A step-by-step visual guide to get productive with Devchain
Visual step-by-step guides for the new Teams template (recommended) and the classic 3-agent and 5-agent workflows. Choose the one that matches your project template.
Install, start, and describe what you want to build
npm i -g devchain-cli
Requires Node 20+, tmux, and at least one AI provider CLI
devchain start
Opens the UI in your browser on localhost
Create a project, select the teams-dev template, and choose which providers your Builders team can use
Start the Brainstormer session and describe what you want to build
Pick the right template and switch providers with a single click
Two teams that manage themselves. Builders grow with the workload and pick the right model per task; Planning explores multiple angles in parallel for better master plans. Choose your allowed providers when you create the project.
What's new in 0.12 →The classic flat 5-agent workflow with planning, validation, coding, and review cycles. Still bundled and supported.
View workflow guide →Streamlined development without Epic Manager and the planning agent. Faster iteration and lower token usage for smaller tasks.
