Open Source Multi-Agent Runtime

Coordinate three coding agents at once.Keep one clear command center.

SquidRun runs Architect, Builder, and Oracle in parallel terminal panes so architecture, implementation, and investigation happen at the same time. Local-first, model-agnostic, and built for focused execution.

Why single-agent loops break down

One model doing everything burns context and forces serial work. SquidRun splits strategy, execution, and investigation across dedicated lanes with structured comms.

Parallel Panes

Three independent CLI sessions run simultaneously, each with isolated context and quota.

Role Discipline

Architect coordinates, Builder executes, Oracle investigates. Less context thrash, faster handoffs.

Model Agnostic

Assign Claude, Codex, or Gemini per pane and change at runtime without disrupting role boundaries.

Structured Comms

Agents route updates through a protocol-first channel for reproducible delegation and traceability.

Automatic Memory

Session artifacts and handoffs are materialized automatically so agents resume with operational continuity.

Local by Default

No cloud relay layer. Keys and project data remain on your machine while CLIs authenticate directly.

From prompt to shipped change

1

Connect your AI CLIs

Install Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI. SquidRun detects available runtimes and maps them to panes.

2

Launch and assign roles

Architect owns planning, Builder handles implementation, Oracle runs investigations and evidence checks.

3

Drive through Architect

You issue instructions to one control lane while the other agents execute in parallel and report upstream.

4

Review and ship

Parallel execution increases throughput while preserving clean boundaries for verification and release.

Ready to run the squad?

SquidRun is open source and local-first. Install once, map your models to roles, and run coordinated engineering loops from a single command center.

Node.js 18+ and at least one CLI runtime required.
