Other AI coding tools give you **one assistant**. SquadCoder gives you **a whole company** — an Architect, Developers, QA, Security, UI/UX, and a CTO quality gate — that plan, build, review, and ship features **in parallel**, out of the box, with **zero configuration**. **~54% less code (up to 94%) · ~20% cheaper · ~27% faster · 100% safe** _On real agentic tasks, via the bundled **[ponytail](https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail)** "lazy senior dev" ruleset — write only what the task needs, reuse over rebuild. These are ponytail's [published benchmark](https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail) numbers, not SquadCoder's own._ [](LICENSE) [](#install) [](https://github.com/squadcodercom/squadcoder/releases) [](#contributing) [Download](#install)  •  [Quick Start](#quick-start)  •  [Features](#what-you-get)  •  [Team Mode](#how-team-mode-works)  •  [Showcase](#built-with-squadcoder)  •  [Docs](docs/) --- ## Why SquadCoder? Most AI coding tools are **one agent talking to one model**. When the task gets complex, you babysit it — prompt-by-prompt, file-by-file, hoping it doesn't forget what it did three messages ago. **SquadCoder runs like a real engineering org:** - You describe what you want — a feature, a fix, a refactor, a full project. - An **orchestrator** breaks it into tasks and spins up the right specialists — _in parallel_. - Each specialist does its job (architecture, implementation, testing, security review, UI/UX verification). - A **CTO quality gate** loops fixes until every check is green. - You get **one coherent, verified result** — not a pile of raw agent output. All of this happens **on first install, with zero configuration.** Open a folder, type a request, switch to Team Mode. That's it. --- ## What you get | | Feature | Why it matters | |---|---|---| | **Squad** | **Team Mode** — parallel specialist agents with a quality gate | One request kicks off an entire dev cycle: plan, code, test, review, ship. | | **Brain** | **Persistent memory** — never forgets | Project rules, architecture decisions, and past fixes survive across sessions. Your assistant gets smarter about _your_ codebase over time. | | **Search** | **Semantic codebase index** — find code by meaning | Fully offline, bundled model. No cloud, no API cost. Ask "where do we handle auth?" and get the right files. | | **Skills** | **100+ bundled skills** — ready on first launch | Design systems, code review, document generation, ad platforms (Google/Meta/TikTok), Hebrew/RTL & Israeli business tooling, and more. Skills auto-fire when relevant — no manual activation. | | **Tools** | **MCP-native** — built-in integrations | GitHub, Playwright (browser testing), web search, docs lookup, and any MCP server you add. | | **Remote** | **Remote SSH** — work on any machine | VS Code-style remote: connect to a server, index its code, run agents there. | | **Clock** | **Routines & scheduling** | Save multi-step tasks and run them on demand or on a schedule. | | **Lock** | **Local-first & private** | Your code and context stay on your machine. No telemetry, no cloud dependency. | | **Heart** | **Open source (MIT)** | Free to use, modify, and distribute. Built on [opencode](https://github.com/sst/opencode). | | **Globe** | **Full Hebrew GUI + 25 languages** | 100% translated (1700+ keys), full RTL layout, bundled Hebrew font (Rubik). First-class Hebrew & Arabic, plus 25+ more languages. | --- ## Install ### Desktop app (recommended) Download from [**Releases**](https://github.com/squadcodercom/squadcoder/releases/latest) and run: | Platform | File | Size | |----------|------|------| | **Windows x64** | [`SquadCoder-desktop-win-x64-installer.exe`](https://github.com/squadcodercom/squadcoder/releases/latest) | ~214 MB | | **Windows x64 (portable)** | [`SquadCoder-desktop-win-x64-portable.zip`](https://github.com/squadcodercom/squadcoder/releases/latest) | ~165 MB | | macOS / Linux | Coming soon | — | ### CLI Download the standalone CLI from [**Releases**](https://github.com/squadcodercom/squadcoder/releases/latest): | Platform | File | Size | |----------|------|------| | **Windows x64** | [`SquadCoder-cli-windows-x64.zip`](https://github.com/squadcodercom/squadcoder/releases/latest) | ~48 MB | Unzip and add to your `PATH`. Run `squadcoder` from any project directory. ### From source ```bash git clone https://github.com/squadcodercom/squadcoder.git cd squadcoder bun install bun run dev # desktop app + engine (hot reload) # or bun run cli # CLI only ``` > Requires [Bun](https://bun.sh) >= 1.3.11 --- ## Quick start 1. **Launch** SquadCoder (desktop app or `squadcoder` CLI). 2. **Add a model** — bring your own API key (Anthropic, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible provider). 3. **Open a project** folder and start chatting. 4. **Switch to Team Mode** for anything multi-step — SquadCoder will plan it, split the work across specialist agents, build it, test it, and review it before handing it back. > **Tip:** You don't need to configure agents, skills, or MCPs. Everything ships pre-configured and works out of the box. Just add your API key and go. --- ## How Team Mode works ``` You: "Add user authentication with OAuth" | [ Orchestrator ] / | | \ Architect Dev1 Dev2 Security \ | | / [ CTO Quality Gate ] loops until green | [ Verified Result ] ``` A single **orchestrator** reads your request, classifies it, and spawns only the specialists the task needs — running independent units **in parallel**. Every fix loops through a **CTO-style quality gate** (security + QA + end-to-end verification) until it passes. You get one coherent, tested result. The team ships pre-configured with sensible roles and model assignments. You can customize roles, add your own agents, or change which model each agent uses — but you don't have to. --- ## Configuration SquadCoder works with zero config, but everything is customizable via `squadcoder.json`: - **Model providers** — Anthropic (Claude), OpenRouter, OpenAI, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. - **MCP servers** — add any MCP server (local or remote). - **Skills** — drop a `SKILL.md` into `.squadcoder/skills/` to teach your agents new capabilities. - **Agent roles** — customize the Team Mode roster, or create your own specialist agents. - **Secrets** — use `{env:VAR}` or `${VAR}` placeholders. Never hard-code tokens. --- ## Contributing Contributions are welcome! Open an issue to discuss a change, or send a pull request. Please run `bun typecheck` before submitting.

Ask "where do we handle auth?" and get the right files, fully offline, no cloud, no API cost. - **[ponytail](https://github.com/DietrichGebert/ponytail)** — the "laziest senior dev" YAGNI ruleset, bundled by default. It makes the agent write only what's needed (reuse over rebuild): up to **94% less code on real tasks (~54% mean)**, while keeping every safety guard. ## License [MIT](LICENSE) — free to use, modify, and distribute.
