Introduction

Flightdeck is a web-based orchestration platform that coordinates multiple AI coding agents across providers — GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Kimi CLI, and Qwen Code. Give it a task, and it assembles a team of specialists — developers, architects, reviewers, and more — that collaborate like a real engineering team, working in parallel and checking each other's work.

How It Works

1. You describe a goal in plain language — that's your only job
2. A Project Lead agent analyzes the task and assembles a team
3. The lead delegates subtasks to specialist agents using an auto-generated task DAG
4. Agents work in parallel, communicate with each other, and report progress
5. You watch it all happen via the real-time dashboard — and can intervene at any time

Key Capabilities

• 14 specialist roles — developers, architects, code reviewers, designers, QA testers, product managers, and more — each configurable with different AI models for diverse perspectives
• 8 provider backends — GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Kimi CLI, and Qwen Code — switchable per project or per role
• Parallel execution — multiple agents coding, reviewing, and testing simultaneously with up to 50 concurrent agents
• File locking — agents claim files before editing, preventing overwrites and merge conflicts
• Auto-DAG — automatic dependency graph generation that tracks what's done, what's next, and what's blocked
• Trust Dial — three-level oversight system (Supervised, Balanced, Autonomous) that controls how much autonomy agents have
• Built-in code review — every change can be automatically reviewed before it ships
• Real-time dashboard — see who's doing what, message any agent, interrupt work, or pause everything
• Session replay — scrub through past sessions like a video timeline
• Persistent projects — projects survive across sessions with full context restoration
