Vigil - A manager–worker tree for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode

by•
il is a native macOS terminal where a manager agent spawns and oversees a tree of Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode workers. Detail flows down, summaries roll up, the manager's context stays lean, and every node is still the CLI's own TUI you can take over.

Hi PH — I built Vigil because running several coding agents at once turned me into their message bus: copying results from one terminal into another, nudging the one that went quiet, losing track of who was doing what. Vigil is a native Mac terminal (Swift, libghostty rendering) with one idea on top: a manager agent owns the tree. It spawns workers and sub-managers, workers report up as summaries, and the manager stays high-level so its context lasts for long runs instead of rotting. Every node is still the real CLI TUI — Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode can be mixed in one tree — so you can open any worker and take over. What it deliberately does NOT do: no hidden sandbox, no approval gate of its own (permissions stay with each CLI), no model picking on your behalf. Settings are JSON files. Finished sessions keep per-node transcripts for replay and resume. It's free and GPL-3.0 (v0.1.5 shipped today). I'd love to hear where the manager/worker split breaks down for your workflows.
