What it is

A lead agent, tending a swarm you can actually see.

Clankie spawns your coding workers — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or its own CLI — as live panes on a bundled terminal, then renders the whole run as a garden you read at a glance. No tailing logs. No scrollback archaeology. Just look at the plot and know what’s moving.

Clankie · lead

See the whole run at a glance. Every worker is a sprite — working, idling, sleeping, done — so the state of the swarm reads in a single look, never a scrollback dig.
It runs itself, until it shouldn’t. The lead spawns, watches, reviews the diff, and merges — you step in only when a call is genuinely yours to make.
Nothing happens off-screen. Every pane is recorded and summarized live, so presence and status carry the story without a single log line.

The protocol

Work the way you want.

Clankie bends to your workflow, not the other way around. Track work in Linear, GitHub, or Jira. Gate on Figma designs. Set your Git and PR conventions. Hand off review and merge — or keep them yourself. Every part of the protocol is a switch you flip on or off.

The harnesses

Any harness, managed your way.

Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or your own worker — keep the coding tools you already reach for. Clankie doesn’t replace your harness; it just spawns, watches, and manages them, in whatever way is right for you. Each wears its own leaf, so you can tell who’s who at a glance.

In the open

No black box.

Clankie is open source, top to bottom. Clone it, read every line, and see exactly how the lead spawns, watches, reviews, and merges — then run your own swarm. Nothing about how it works is hidden from you.
