First stable release. Production-ready CLI orchestrator for AI agent teams.

Highlights

  • 5 adapter ecosystem — Claude, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, Shell — mix any AI providers in one team
  • 1493 tests — comprehensive coverage across all layers
  • Real-time TUI dashboard — tasks, agents, goals, activity feed, logs with filtering
  • Smart prompt architecture — system/user split for caching, relevance-based context filtering
  • Zero-config startnpm i -g @oxgeneral/orch && orch auto-initializes

New in 1.0.0 (since 0.3.4)

Features

  • OpenCode adapter — new opencode adapter for multi-provider agent support via OpenCode CLI (OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Gemini, etc.). JSONL event streaming with --format json, model pass-through as provider/model
  • System/User prompt split — separate static system prompt (agent identity, rules) from dynamic user prompt (task details) for Claude API prompt caching (~40-60% fewer input tokens on repeat runs)
  • Agent picker [adapter] tags — assignee lists in TUI now show [claude], [opencode], [codex] etc. next to each agent for provider visibility
  • OpenCode model catalog — TUI wizard offers Default (use opencode config), Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Big Pickle models when creating opencode agents

Bug Fixes

  • OpenCode tool display — tool_call events from opencode now render as ⚙ grep(pattern: "...") instead of raw JSON in TUI logs
  • step_finish noise — intermediate step_finish lifecycle events no longer pollute activity feed

Reverted Optimizations

  • Context value truncation (500 char cap) — silently lost agent context
  • Agent role truncation (80 char / first line) — agents couldn't see teammates' capabilities
  • Goal task names cap (30 entries) — agents lost goal progress visibility
  • Retry output tail reads (50 lines) — agents lost failure chain context

Design principle: token optimizations must not silently lose data that agents need. Filtering by relevance is OK; hard truncation is not.

Full Feature Set (cumulative)

Orchestration Engine

  • Parallel agent execution with configurable concurrency (max_concurrent_agents)
  • State machine: todo → in_progress → review → done with retrying and failed branches
  • Automatic retry with exponential backoff, stall detection, zombie process cleanup
  • Priority-based dispatch (P1-first, goal-linked tasks prioritized)
  • Scope-based file conflict prevention (--scope, --depends-on)
  • Task dependencies with topological ordering

Adapters

  • Claude — Claude Code CLI with --system-prompt for prompt caching
  • OpenCode — OpenCode CLI with multi-provider support (OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Gemini)
  • Codex — OpenAI Codex CLI with stdin prompt delivery
  • Cursor — Cursor Agent CLI with auto-binary resolution
  • Shell — arbitrary commands via bash -lc with env variable prompt

TUI Dashboard (Ink/React)

  • 3-tab interface: Tasks, Agents, Goals with detail panels
  • Real-time activity feed with type-based filtering (text, tools, errors, events)
  • Logs view with agent/type multi-filter, duration-based queries
  • Form wizards for agent/task/goal creation with inline validation
  • Agent Shop — 15 pre-built agent templates
  • Toast notifications, help overlay, keyboard shortcuts
  • Clipboard image paste for task attachments

Smart Prompts

  • LiquidJS template engine with conditional sections
  • System/User split for Claude API prompt caching
  • Relevance-based context filtering (top 15 of 340+ entries)
  • Inter-agent messaging (orch msg send/broadcast/inbox)
  • Goal context injection with progress tracking
  • Autonomous goal mode with structured decomposition loop

CLI Commands

  • orch run / orch tui — start orchestration
  • orch task — add, list, show, edit, cancel, approve, reject
  • orch agent — add, list, show, edit, disable, shop
  • orch goal — add, list, show, status, delete
  • orch team — create, list, show, delete
  • orch msg — send, broadcast, inbox
  • orch context — set, get, list, delete (shared key-value store)
  • orch logs — view run events with filtering
  • orch config — view/edit orchestrator settings
  • orch doctor — health check for all adapters
  • orch update — check and install updates

Storage & Performance

  • File-based storage (.orchestry/) — YAML, JSON, JSONL, no database
  • Atomic writes with temp file + rename
  • Parallel file reads with EMFILE batching (groups of 64)
  • JSONL tail reads for OOM protection
  • 3-layer event data truncation pipeline (16KB → 8KB → 4KB → 2KB)
  • TUI batched message queue (80ms flush) with LRU caps

Tests

  • 1493 tests across 83 test files
  • Coverage: orchestrator resilience, adapter event parsing, template rendering, TUI components, wizard validation, state machine transitions, storage atomicity, process management

ORCH v0.3.0 — Attachments, Clipboard Paste, Goal Context & 3.5× Performance

What's New in 0.3.0

ORCH v0.3.0 brings major UX improvements for multi-agent workflows: task attachments, clipboard paste in TUI, goal-driven autonomous mode, and a significant performance overhaul.

✨ New Features

  • Task attachmentsorch task add --attach <file> copies files into .orchestry/attachments/<taskId>/ and displays them in TUI with a 📎 indicator
  • Clipboard image paste (Ctrl+V) — paste images directly from system clipboard in the task creation/edit TUI wizard; cross-platform (macOS/Linux/Windows)
  • Goal-driven autonomous mode — agents in [auto] tasks get a structured loop: decompose → execute → track progress → mark goal achieved; agents see full goal context (title, linked tasks, progress report)
  • Scrollable GoalDetailPanel — virtual scrolling with j/k navigation, section dividers, task summary counts, and progress report display
  • Skills display — agent detail panel now shows configured skills list

⚡ Performance

Metric v0.2.0 v0.3.0 Improvement
Per-test speed 52ms 15ms 3.5× faster
Task dispatch latency 30s <500ms 60× faster
Build time 2.7s 1.35s 2× faster
CLI startup 75ms 41ms 1.8× faster
TUI memory OOM after 27min Stable Fixed

Key optimizations: state.claimed Array→Set, ScopeIndex pre-computation, isBlocked O(d×1) taskMap lookup, lazy chalk/process-manager imports, parallel reconcile with Promise.all, adaptive Vitest thread pool.

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Tick interval 30s→10s — faster task dispatch
  • GoalDetailPanel useMemo fix — prevents stale closure
  • FormWizard paste mock types — correct union type
  • 22 bugs fixed from architecture audit (4 P1 critical, 10 P2 high, 8 P3 medium)

🏗️ Architecture

  • SectionDivider reused from DetailPanel (no duplicate GoalDivider)
  • TASK_STATUS_COLOR / GOAL_STATUS_COLOR extracted to colors.ts with Record<Status, string> type safety
  • GoalContext in template engine — agents get full goal info in Liquid templates
  • clipboard-service.ts with platform detection and type-safe API

🧪 Tests

987 tests (up from 851 in 0.2.0) — new coverage: clipboard paste, GoalDetailPanel, ScopeIndex, attachments, orchestrator perf benchmarks, lazy chalk init.
