Open-source Pragma gives coding agents a terminal-first workspace with Git worktrees
tech_w0rld · reddit · 2026-09-24
A developer released Pragma, a free open-source terminal-first workspace for running multiple coding agents in parallel.
Key features
- Each task gets its own Git worktree, with a sidebar showing agent states (running/finished/waiting)
- Built-in Git/GitHub review (PR comments, stacked PRs), model fanout comparison, usage tracking, TypeScript automations, scratchpads, and iOS/Android companion apps
- Supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Grok, Copilot, Kimi Code and 11+ agents, extensible via a plugin API and TypeScript SDK
Design insight
The author notes worktree isolation is the easy part; the hard part is keeping status and review loops understandable when several agents run at once, which shaped the project/nested-worktree UI. The CLI also lets agents control Pragma itself — creating worktrees, triggering fanouts, and writing results to scratchpads. Available on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
