Agents
The live terminals of the workers Ginu has spawned.
What this page covers
OutcomeBrief a worker, redirect it mid-run, and judge what it actually changed.
Before you beginPick a project and decide, before you speak, what would count as done.
Follow these steps
An agent is a separate process working in its own copy of your code — its own git worktree and branch. That is why its output never floods the conversation and why nothing it does reaches your working tree until you accept it.
This screen shows each worker’s real terminal, live, rather than a summary written afterwards. Type into an agent’s own input box to redirect it mid-run; Ginu passes the message straight through.
Give a brief the outcome and the limits you care about. If publishing, deleting or changing a shared interface should come back to you, say so when you hand the work over.
Example
Investigate the failing test. Keep the change small, run the relevant check and explain the result.
A worker spawns with its own worktree and branch. Its live terminal shows the real process; type into that terminal to change its direction without respawning it.
Write the brief like a handover
Put the outcome, the scope and the limits into the brief itself. A worker that has to guess will guess wide, and the cheapest moment to say “ask me before publishing” is before it starts rather than once it already has.
While it runs, its terminal is the truth: the real process, not a report about it. Typing there redirects the work without respawning it, which is almost always faster than cancelling and rewriting the brief.
When it finishes, what you get is a short summary the worker wrote about itself. Read the branch when the work matters — a stopped worker is not a successful one, and a confident summary is not a reviewed diff.

Notes
- Live lists what is running now. A run moves to Archive 72 hours after it finishes, keeping the handover it reported — a short summary, not a transcript. When the work matters, read the branch rather than the paragraph about it.
- Choose how many terminals to show at once, and drag the seam between two cards to grow one and shrink its neighbour.
Check
You have read the branch, not only the handover, and can say what was tested and what is still unfinished.
