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.
