How It Works
You watch, Chief works
1
Describe Your Project
Break down what you want to build into tasks. Chief takes it from there.
2
Chief Runs the Loop
Chief runs your agent in a loop, working through each task until it's done.
3
Code Gets Built
One commit per task. No giant diffs to untangle.
Key Features
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Single Binary
No runtime dependencies. Download the binary and run it. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Self-Contained State
Everything lives in .chief/. Easy to gitignore on shared projects.
Works Anywhere
Run locally or SSH into a remote server. Start a loop before bed and wake up to code.
Beautiful TUI
Real-time progress, live logs, and keyboard controls. Watch your code get built in style.
