About shep

Run a fleet of coding agents. Merge real PRs. Shep is the open-source orchestrator for the autonomous development cycle. It runs parallel AI agents — Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Gemini CLI, or any agent CLI — each in its own isolated git worktree, and drives every feature from a one-line description through optional spec gates, implementation, commit, push, CI watching with auto-fix, and a draft pull request. Agent-agnostic, local-first, MIT-licensed. Quickstart bash npx @shepai/cli # try it instantly — open
