🛠 Intent, a coding-agent orchestrator, is now open source

The project code has been released under Apache 2.0 alongside the stable v2.118.0 release: the core is the intentd daemon in Rust with JSON-RPC, and tasks run in isolated workspaces. There are builds for macOS and AppImage for Linux.

🌍 A ready-made architecture for parallel orchestration has gone open source: specs from a Coordinator agent before work begins, a verifier that checks readiness with builds, tests, and lint, and Git commits and reviews directly in the interface. The code can be studied, forked, and integrated into your own pipelines instead of custom scripts.

👤 Working with coding agents (Claude Code and similar CLIs) — Intent will run dozens of them in parallel, without mixing files or passing context manually; your own CLI agent can be plugged in as a replacement for the built-in one, and distributions are in the repository releases.
