pi-cowboy - Multi-Agent Orchestrator for pi
Multi-agent orchestrator for pi that splits large jobs into parallel subtasks run by background agents (pi, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) in isolated copy-on-write git worktrees.
Why it matters
Watch and steer multiple coding agents working in parallel in terminal panes, each committing to its own branch so every subtask can be reviewed and merged independently.
What you could build with it
A dev-tools startup could productize this orchestration pattern into a hosted service - parallel agent swarms with per-task review queues - and sell it to engineering teams wanting supervised multi-agent development without giving every agent full repo access.
Does it hold up?
Usable today for terminal-centric developers (MIT, documented README, demo video); parallel worktree orchestration is a power-user workflow and independent reports are absent so far.
