clideck is an open-source agent harness and terminal orchestration tool maintained by rustykuntz on GitHub. It serves as a unified orchestration layer designed to manage, execute, and monitor AI coding agents across various developer workflows. In daily use, clideck coordinates agent sessions via terminal interfaces, plugin integrations, and structured query commands like `clideck ask`. It features built-in transcript recording, stream processing, session reconnect handling, and automated task routing to direct work across supported LLM backends (including Claude-based workflows) and plugins. Unlike standalone coding assistants, clideck functions as a harness that bridges terminal interactions, custom agent skills, and external plugins (such as OpenCode and Pi extensions). It provides terminal replay capabilities, output capture, and session resilience so developers can run automated multi-step coding operations without losing state. clideck is open source and freely available on GitHub. It uses a JavaScript/Node-based modular architecture featuring skills, plugins, and executable binaries with frequent release updates.
