The agent that grows with you

A framework for Claude Opus to intelligently orchestrate subagents.

+Multi-provider support allows switching between Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and local models seamlessly
+Intelligent task decomposition automatically breaks complex objectives into executable sub-tasks
+Local execution capabilities through Ollama and LMStudio reduce API costs and increase privacy

-Requires multiple API keys and setup for different providers, adding configuration complexity
-Python-only implementation limits accessibility for non-Python developers
-Performance depends heavily on the quality of the chosen orchestrator model

•Complex research projects requiring multiple specialized AI agents for different aspects
•Content creation workflows where tasks need to be broken down and executed systematically
•Local AI orchestration for privacy-sensitive tasks using Ollama or LMStudio
