Klaussy Desktop 💻🤖

The agent-first IDE that reviews its own code before you commit.

The desktop is the face. The klaussy-agents engine is the spine. While other orchestrators give you a worktree grid, Klaussy brings the conventions, custom skills, and active git-level guardrails that actually keep agents aligned with your codebase.

Designed by an ex-GitHub, ex-Twitch, and ex-Microsoft engineer, Klaussy Desktop runs multi-agent, multi-repository AI coding sessions in a unified, tabbed light-themed workspace. It spawns isolated Git worktrees per task, enabling you to run multiple agents in parallel without juggling branches, staging mess, or local workspace clutter.

🚀 Key Highlights

• ⚡ Parallel Agents, Isolated Worktrees
  One task = one git worktree + one independent agent. Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, and Cline side by side. The visual sidebar tracks staged/unstaged counts, status, and branch alignment per task.
• 📂 Multi-Repo Git Sessions
  Coordinate changes across multiple microservices or repositories on a shared task branch. Each repository spins up its own isolated worktree so agents can safely collaborate.
• 🛡️ Commit-Time Review Gate
  A built-in pre-commit and pre-push hook runs an agent-powered audit looking for silent failures, leaked credentials, debug leftovers, correctness bugs, and overly verbose comments. Auto-tidies code before committing.
• 🔍 PR Reviews Without Local Checkout
  Paste a GitHub Pull Request URL to view files, commit history, checks, and AI review tabs. Instantly materializes any review into a local worktree for editing with one click.
• 🔄 Cross-Agent Session Resuming
  Start a session with Claude Code, pause it, and resume it under Gemini, Cursor, or Cline. Klaussy Desktop automatically compiles a structured handoff brief to catch the new agent up.
• 🛠️ Workflow-Oriented Tools
  Fuzzy command palette (Cmd+K), pop-out task windows, and built-in flows for planning, debugging, and humanizing prose.

📸 In Action

Multi-agent, multi-repo workspace — run agents side by side, each in its own worktree, with a live file tree and editor.

Conventions-aware PR review — paste a pull request and get a structured AI review: findings ranked by severity, suggested changes, and one-click Implement / Add to PR.

CI debugging built in — when a check fails, Klaussy pulls the logs and an agent explains the root cause and proposes a concrete fix without leaving the app.

Inline CI annotations — failures and warnings are surfaced with their stack frames right in the CI View tab.
