AI Orchestrators Decision Table

An attempt to find a good agent orchestrator or two, that can support these styles of software AI dev:

1. Mostly AI assisted coding (currently leading: conductor)
2. Mostly vibe coding (currently exploring configuring pi from scratch)

Ideally one tool could be used for both.

Leave any suggestions in the comments please, all are welcome.

Legend

• Worktrees - Support for worktrees per task, with setup/teardown scripts
• Task overview - Ability to see all tasks from all projects in one place
• Line comments - Convenient UX for leaving code review line comments locally
• Github PRs - Convenient UX for creating and reviewing Github PRs
• Claude TOS - Ability to use Claude subscription while adhering to Anthropic TOS
• OpenCode - Ability to tap into existing opencode setup, run opencode models / agents / skills
• Multi-agent workflows - Automate multiple proprietary and open CLIs into workflows
• Multi-agent conversations - UI for talking to multiple agents at once
• Shared config - Ability to reuse agents and skills across different CLIs (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, opencode), when running them inside the orchestrator

Updated the gist to:

1. Add JAT
2. Clarify "Shared config" item

Added pi-coding-agent. Unironically considering it as the base for setup. It's what powers openclaw in case anyone's wondering.
