Galley is an open-source agent orchestrator and task execution harness developed by shinpr. Implemented primarily in Go, Galley coordinates AI coding tasks through dedicated background daemon workflows, structured task schemas, and plugin-based agent interfaces. In practical usage, Galley acts as an execution engine that manages task handoffs, revision lifecycles, and agent execution across environments. It provides explicit plugin support for agent ecosystems like Claude and Grok (via dedicated plugin manifests such as `.claude-plugin` and `.grok-plugin`), allowing external AI models to interact with local repository workflows, run tasks under predefined execution timeouts, and track execution state. Galley distinguishes itself by focusing on daemon-driven background execution and structured executor recovery skills rather than being a standalone interactive chatbot. Its architecture emphasizes task handoffs, modular prompt configurations, and schema-validated inputs to maintain reliable agent execution across long-running development jobs. Galley is distributed as open-source software on GitHub under active repository development with native Go tooling.
