AI Agent Orchestration for Your Codebase
Type a task. Get an isolated worktree with a live terminal. Ship the branch when it's done.
What Is It
ELVES is a Tauri desktop app that orchestrates AI agents in isolated git worktrees with embedded terminals and a neo-brutalist interface.
Every task gets its own git worktree — a fully isolated working directory with its own branch. Parallel tasks never interfere with each other. Ship or discard when done.
A WebGL-accelerated PTY terminal wired to Claude Code or Codex. Watch the agent work in real-time with a built-in toolbar, search, and session auto-resume.
SQLite-backed memory with FTS5 search. Decisions, context, and preferences persist across sessions. Relevance decays over time — important memories stay, noise fades.
How It Works
No complex setup. No config files. Just type and watch.
Describe what you want in plain English. "Add user authentication with OAuth" — that's all it takes.
ELVES creates an isolated git worktree, spawns the agent, and opens a live terminal. Watch it work in real-time.
When the agent finishes, review the diff, pick a merge strategy, and ship the branch — or remove the worktree to discard.
Features
Built for developers who want AI that works with them, not against them.
ELVES classifies task complexity, selects the right mode (team or solo), and configures the agent before spawning it into a worktree.
Switch between Claude Code and Codex seamlessly. Same memory, same interface — different engine underneath.
One-click merge with strategy picker (merge, rebase, squash). Extracts memories, removes the worktree, deletes the branch. Done.
Dashboard showing real Claude Code telemetry — token usage by model, daily activity, project breakdowns, session quality, and an AI-generated narrative report.
GPU-accelerated terminal rendering with a built-in toolbar, search overlay, Unicode support, and automatic session persistence with resume.
Skills catalog, MCP servers, and project context — all editable through a clean visual interface with a side-by-side split pane layout.
