Agentic workflow CLI for parallel AI agents

Agentic workflow CLI for parallel AI agents — track specs, tasks, and iterations across Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, and Copilot Workspace.

⚡ Parallel AI Agents

Group tasks into phased iterations with dependency tracking. Tasks in the same phase run concurrently across isolated agent workspaces — no more sequential, single-context-window bottlenecks.

🖥️ Web Dashboard

Browse tasks, artifacts, and iterations in a built-in web UI. Inspect status at a glance, view kanban boards, search across everything, and read rendered Markdown — all from gest serve.

📄 Specs, ADRs & Artifacts

Store specs, ADRs, RFCs, and design documents as versioned Markdown with YAML frontmatter. Keep architectural decisions next to the code they describe.

🤖 Agent-Native CLI

Every command supports --json output. Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, Copilot Workspace, and other agentic coding tools read the work queue, claim tasks, update status, and store artifacts through the same CLI you use by hand.

🗂️ SQLite-First, Git-Friendly

Entity data lives in a single SQLite database — atomic writes, relational queries, fast dependency graphs. Opt into a .gest/ sync mirror (YAML + Markdown) to commit your data alongside your code.

🌐 Global or Local

By default, projects share one SQLite database at ~/.local/share/gest/gest.db. Add --local on init to also materialize a .gest/ mirror inside the repo for version control and collaboration.
