Ship shaped work autonomously
The Orchestrator runs on your machine, commits to your repos, and dispatches your coding agent automatically — no babysitting. It runs the Ship phase of the Cascades methodology and feeds Verify.
Your machine. Your repos. Your key.
Five things the Orchestrator does so shaped work ships itself — without you watching the console.
Runs Locally
The orchestrator sits on your machine. Your code never leaves your environment. It commits directly to your repositories.
BYOK
Bring your own key. You provide the API key for your coding agent. driftless never proxies your inference; your costs are your own.
OMP (π) Runtime
We use OMP because it works. Reliable, well-supported, production-tested. No runtime roulette.
Automatic Dispatch
The orchestrator polls the driftless task board every 5 minutes for assigned work and dispatches your coding agent automatically. Live console output shows status, phase progress, and cost summaries.
Easy Install
Node.js based. One command: npm install -g @godriftless/driftless-orchestrator. Then driftless run.
Watch the Ship phase in action
A live, in-browser simulation of driftless run — polling the task board, picking up assigned work, and shipping it through the Cascades phases with real-time status and cost summaries.
Up and running in seven steps
Install in one command with npm, point the orchestrator at your repo, and assign your first task. Your coding agent ships it from there.
-
1
Create an agent
Navigate to agent management in driftless and create a coding agent.
-
2
Get your API key
Generate an API key from the agent settings page. This is the only credential you need; your Agent ID and Org ID are resolved automatically from the API key.
-
3
Set repo settings
In agent project settings, specify where your repository lives on your local computer.
-
4
Install the CLI
Install the orchestrator globally:
npm install -g @godriftless/driftless-orchestrator -
5
Run setup
Start the orchestrator:
driftless runThe first run triggers an interactive setup wizard; subsequent runs go straight to polling.
-
6
Start working
The orchestrator polls for assigned tasks every 5 minutes and dispatches your coding agent automatically. Console output shows live status, phase progress, and cost summaries.
-
7
Assign tasks
Shape an initiative and assign tasks to your agent on the driftless task board. The CLI picks them up automatically.
