You open three terminal tabs. One runs Claude Code on a bug fix, the second on a documentation pass, the third on a refactor you started yesterday and half-forgot. Twenty minutes later you have lost the thread — which tab finished, which is blocked on your input, which one quietly errored out three commands ago. Running coding agents in parallel is genuinely useful. Running them across a row of identical terminal tabs is not.
Agetor is one answer to that gap. It is an open-source orchestrator that puts a Kanban board in front of your coding agents, so each task becomes a card you can see and move instead of a tab you have to remember. The project sits at version 0.0.1, which makes this a first look at an idea rather than a verdict on a finished tool. The idea is worth understanding anyway, because the problem it targets is real and grows harder as agents get more capable.
What Agetor does at 0.0.1
Agetor describes itself as a harness orchestrator. A harness, in this context, is the program that wraps a coding agent and gives it somewhere to run — Claude Code is a harness. Agetor sits one level above that. It manages multiple harness sessions and represents each one as a card on a Kanban board.
