Superset is an open-source agent orchestration harness and multi-agent workspace developed by the superset-sh team. It provides a structured environment for managing, orchestrating, and executing terminal-based AI coding agents across multiple projects and repositories. In day-to-day development, Superset provides a dedicated desktop and terminal workspace designed to run AI agents concurrently. It interfaces directly with agent protocols such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and supports modular Agent Skills specifications across Claude Code plugins and standard agent configurations (such as OpenAI YAML specs). Developers can execute one-off runs, run automated agent sweeps, or manage prompt configurations using built-in automation utilities. Rather than functioning solely as a standalone LLM wrapper, Superset differentiates itself as a unified orchestrator and agent runtime. It standardizes skill sharing across agent formats (e.g., symlinking skills between Claude and other agent runtimes), provides MCP wiring out of the box, and handles terminal process management to prevent UI locking during heavy multi-agent execution. Superset is fully open source under public repository licensing on GitHub, making it suitable for teams building customized internal agent workflows without proprietary platform constraints.
