ADHDev is an open-source agent harness and multi-node orchestration engine developed by Vilmire. Built for complex codebase automation, it provides an execution framework that coordinates autonomous developer agents across multi-package monorepos and Git submodules. Day-to-day operation centers on terminal-driven workflows backed by native terminal emulation (including Ghostty VT integrations) and TypeScript orchestration packages. ADHDev plans and executes tasks using a structured mesh architecture, breaking work into discrete nodes, performing dry-run evaluations, and enforcing execution gates before applying diffs. The harness integrates with frontier LLMs such as Claude to generate code and validate execution paths. ADHDev differentiates itself from standard single-agent CLI tools through its deep Git awareness and multi-node mesh system. It inspects change areas, validates gitlink commits, and executes preflight reachability checks across submodules and remote tracking branches, preventing broken builds and invalid merges before tool execution begins. ADHDev is published as an open-source repository on GitHub with modular packages distributed via npm and native binary platforms.
