Agent Execution
Overlord coordinates the work, but the agent still runs in the environment best suited to the task.
Execution targets
Depending on the task, the execution target might be:
- a local repository via the desktop app
- a terminal-first CLI session
- a hosted or cloud agent through MCP
What happens during execution
The agent reads the ticket, works in the repository, and reports back through the ticket workflow.
Launching without lock-in
Overlord is designed to coordinate Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, and other setups instead of replacing them.
