v2.5.0

Drive CLI Agent Orchestrator multi-agent sessions from any Agent-Plugins-compatible client. Prerequisites: the `uv` toolchain must be on PATH (the MCP server is launched via `uvx`), and a CAO API server must be running locally at http://127.0.0.1:9889 (`cao-server`). All communication is localhost-only.

  • Skills for extending CLI Agent Orchestrator: authoring providers and event plugins. Development-facing; install the `cao` plugin instead to drive sessions.

  • swarm-forgepproenca

    Disciplined tmux-based agent orchestration: pick a pack of specialist agents, give each its own git worktree, and drive them from a local web cockpit.

  • The SwarmForge squad workflow: a persistent squad leader that spawns short-lived specialist workers on demand, each bound by a capability contract.

  • swarmforgeaintoniodev

    SwarmForge as an Agent Plugin: tmux-based multi-agent orchestration for git worktrees (two-pack / four-pack / six-pack workflows), with operational scripts, handoff helpers, constitution and role prompt templates.

  • bernsteinsipyourdrink-ltd

    The open-source governance layer for AI agents. Spawn parallel agents in per-task git worktrees, verify their work, and merge results; no model in the coordination loop, so replaying a plan reproduces its task graph byte-identically.

  • Delegate coding tasks from MiniMax Code to locally installed coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code, ZCode, DSH) through a dependency-free stdio MCP server with git-diff review.
