# ctx (ADE)
ctx is an [[Agentic Development Environment (ADE)]] by ctx engineering, inc. It provides a single interface for multiple coding agents ([[Claude Code]], Codex, [[Cursor.com|Cursor]], and others), with containerized workspaces, centralized review, and controlled runtime isolation.
## Key Features
- **Multi-agent interface**: use different coding agents through a consistent workflow
- **Isolated containers**: explicit disk and network controls per workspace
- **Bounded autonomy**: agents work within defined boundaries, reducing approval friction
- **Agent merge queue**: manage parallel tasks from multiple agents
- **Unified diff review**: review all agent output in one place
- **Durable transcripts**: full session history and artifact tracking
- **Local or remote**: run on your machine or a remote server
## How It Works
1. Install ctx
2. Connect a provider (bring your own credentials and models)
3. Add workspaces (isolated worktrees with containerization)
4. Run tasks; agents work in isolation
5. Review diffs, approve, and merge
For local workflows, no account is needed.
