Multi-agent coding in your terminal.

Local-first. Provider-agnostic. Open source. Kolega Code fans out specialized sub-agents with Gigacode, routes different models to different jobs, searches the web, drives a browser, and keeps your sessions, settings, permissions, and credentials on your machine.

FLAGSHIP CAPABILITY

Gigacode

Spawn a whole engineering team in your terminal.

One command fans out a coordinated org of specialized sub-agents. A planner breaks down the work, coders build features in parallel, investigators read the codebase, and a judge reviews and synthesizes. Pipelines, loops, and review panels run as scripted, resumable workflows with every artifact saved to disk.

# everything else it does

Built for work one agent cannot cover.

sub-agents

Specialized sub-agents

Planning, coder, investigation, general, and browser agents, with live activity tracking in the Textual TUI.

plan / build

Plan / build workflow

Read-only Plan mode for investigation and a reviewable task list; Build mode to implement. Toggle with Shift+Tab.

routing

Model routing

Assign different models to long-context, fast, and thinking roles, and override the model per agent role.

web + browser

Web search & browsing

DuckDuckGo by default (no key); Firecrawl, Tavily, or SearXNG. Plus a Playwright browser agent for interactive sites.

local-first

Local-first & scriptable

State stays on your machine. Use the TUI, or run kolega-code ask for one-shot, JSON output, and CI.

# why local-first

Your machine. Your keys. No lock-in.

Sessions, settings, permissions, OAuth tokens, and API-key settings stay on your machine, with restrictive file permissions where applicable. Bring your own key or run a local model.
