Multi-Agent Code Orchestration - Intelligent AI Agent Coordination

Features • Installation • Quick Start • Architecture • Commands • Contributing • License

Overview

Orion Code is a multi-agent orchestration system that acts as a virtual Tech Lead, coordinating specialized AI agents to collaborate on software projects. It provides an interactive TUI (Terminal User Interface) for seamless interaction, with a REST API backend and a modern landing page.

Features

Interactive TUI - Beautiful terminal interface with Ink 5/React 18
Mouse Wheel Scroll - Scroll message history with mouse wheel or Page Up/Down
Multi-Agent Orchestration - AI-powered task orchestration via Ollama (free, local)
Inline Bash Mode - Execute shell commands directly from TUI with ! prefix
DDD Architecture - Clean, maintainable codebase with Domain-Driven Design
REST API Backend - Fastify 5-based backend with JWT + API Key authentication
Persistent Login - Tokens persist on device until explicit logout
PostgreSQL Database - Full persistence with Drizzle ORM
Intelligent Orchestration - AI-powered task planning and implementation via /implement
Natural Language Input - Type natural language to create and execute tasks
Interactive Selection Menus - Arrow-key navigation for commands
Landing Page - Modern React landing page with Tailwind CSS
Docker Support - Containerized deployment with docker-compose
