Atropos

Long-running autonomous hierarchical multi-agent software development engine for terminal, web, and Android. Local-first, multi-provider, open source. Not another a chatty prompt-driven session.

What ATROPOS optimizes Pain most coding agents still cause What ATROPOS does Uncontrolled autonomous edits and agent drift Scoped multi-agent hierarchy — territory assigned at dispatch, illegal paths blocked before write Token waste, quota burn, and chatty sub-agents Multi-agent orchestration via policy and state — not LLM group chat Provider lock-in and one-vendor launch hell BYOK · 26 providers · free-first multi-provider routing from keys you already have Session dies and long work is lost Long-running autonomous projects with checkpoint, resume, and restart continuity Stuffing everything into a flat context window DAG-ordered work units — dependency-aware atoms, not one mega-prompt Parallel agents that thrash each other Controlled parallel agents and swarm dispatch without circular busywork Mega-prompt guessing instead of a real plan Planning and verification via SpecGraph before execution Cloud-as-brain and closed clients Local-first · self-hosted · open-source engine (AGPL-3.0); cloud is optional LLM backend “Done” when the model stops talking Verified completion — independent checks before promotion IDE-only or terminal-only tools Multi-surface: terminal CLI / TUI, web app, Android / mobile — one engine
