Agent Orchestrator Documentation

Agent Orchestrator (formerly Agents Orchestrator) is a multi-project AI agent orchestration dashboard built with Tauri 2.x, Svelte 5, and the Claude Agent SDK. It transforms a traditional terminal emulator into a mission control for running, monitoring, and coordinating multiple AI agent sessions across multiple codebases simultaneously.

The application has three major version milestones:

  • v1 — A single-file Python GTK3+VTE terminal emulator with Claude Code session management. Production-stable, still shipped as agor.
  • v2 — A ground-up rewrite using Tauri 2.x (Rust backend) + Svelte 5 (frontend). Multi-pane terminal with structured agent sessions, subagent tree visualization, session persistence, multi-machine relay support, 17 themes, and comprehensive packaging.
  • v3 (Mission Control) — A further redesign on top of v2's codebase. Replaces the free-form pane grid with a project-group dashboard. Adds multi-agent orchestration (4 management roles), inter-agent messaging (btmsg), task boards (bttask), session anchors, health monitoring, FTS5 search, plugin system, Landlock sandboxing, secrets management, and 704 automated tests.

Important: The docs/ directory is the single source of truth for this project. Before making changes, consult the docs. After making changes, update the docs.

Quick Orientation

If you are new to this codebase, read the documents in this order:

  1. architecture.md — Understand how the pieces fit together
  2. decisions.md — Understand why things are built the way they are
  3. sidecar.md — Understand how agent sessions actually run
  4. orchestration.md — Understand multi-agent coordination
  5. e2e-testing.md — Understand how to test changes

For research context, read findings.md. For implementation history, see phases.md and progress/.
