Git-Native Orchestrator: My Hybrid Local/Cloud Agent Pipeline

thinking-out-loud-3 · reddit · 2026-08-27

The author shares their engineering journey building a Git-native orchestrator to manage a backlog of agent tasks:

Origin: Manual management of multiple Claude sessions became inefficient and prone to conflicts as feature requests piled up.
Core Architecture: Uses Markdown files as tickets defining a pipeline: Analyze -> Implement -> Review.
Hybrid Strategy: Routes analysis/review to strong cloud models (Claude) and implementation to faster/cheaper local models via Ollama + Aider to cut costs and avoid rate limits.
Concurrency & Isolation: Implements Git Worktrees so each ticket runs in an isolated environment, preventing file corruption and merge conflicts.
Smart Scheduling: Supports parallel pooled execution across multiple accounts (Claude/Codex/Agy). Uses a "touches" declaration to prevent overlapping ticket execution.
Resilience & Memory: Features Auto-resume for interrupted tasks, Auto-fix based on review findings, and Persistent Notes (global gotchas file) to share context across agents.
Visibility: Includes a TUI to monitor agents in real-time.

The system enables unattended, overnight batch code generation and deployment.
