# Conductor Conductor is a Mac desktop app for orchestrating teams of AI coding agents. It runs multiple [[Claude Code]] and [[OpenAI Codex]] agents in parallel, each in an isolated git worktree workspace, with a unified UI to monitor, review, and merge their work. Built by Melty Labs (Charlie Holtz and Jackson de Campos), the team behind Melty, an open-source chat-first code editor. Charlie came from Replicate; Jackson from Netflix ML infrastructure. They met at Brown University. ## Key Features - **Parallel agents**: spin up multiple Claude Code or Codex agents simultaneously, each in an isolated git worktree - **Built-in diff viewer**: review all changes an agent made; Conductor recommends next actions toward merging - **Checkpoints**: automatic snapshots of each agent turn; revert to any previous checkpoint - **GitHub integration**: create PRs, merge, resolve review comments, see CI status from the sidebar - **Todos system**: track merge prerequisites per workspace; blocks merging until all checked off - **MCP support**: connect external tools via Model Context Protocol - **Custom slash commands**: define frequently-used prompts as Markdown files in `.claude/commands/` - **Scripts**: setup, run (dev server/tests), and archive (cleanup) scripts per repo - **Linear integration**: create workspaces from Linear issues - **Workspace archival/restore**: archive completed workspaces; restore with full chat history ## Technical Details - macOS only - Uses git worktrees for workspace isolation (each workspace = one worktree/branch) - No separate AI billing; uses existing Claude Code subscription (Pro/Max) or API key - Requires GitHub CLI (`gh`) and Claude Code installed - Closed source; distributed via website download and Homebrew tap - `conductor.json` for sharing team scripts via git ## References - https://conductor.build - https://docs.conductor.build - https://github.com/meltylabs/conductor-releases ## Related - [[Claude Code]] - [[OpenAI Codex]] - [[Vibe Coding]]
