Cocurdex documentation
Cocurdex is a desktop-first multi-agent development workspace. It puts chat, integrated terminal, editor, and browser preview in one shell so you can run several AI agents without losing track of which session needs attention.
This site is user-facing product documentation. Engineering ADRs, plans, and research notes live in the monorepo docs/ tree and are not published here by default.
Start here
Section titled “Start here”| Goal | Page |
|---|---|
| Install and open a first session | Getting started |
| Understand the multi-pane shell | Desktop workspace |
| Notes, issues, and the board | Notes and issues |
| Agent runtimes and permissions | Agents |
| Product skills for agents | Skills |
| Multi-step plan → implement → review | Workflows |
| Script notes, issues, sessions | CLI |
| What is stored locally and why | Workspaces and data |
Mental model
Section titled “Mental model”Cocurdex is built around a few durable ideas:
- Workspace, not chat window — sessions, chat, terminal, editor, and browser preview are peers. The transcript is one pane among several.
- Parallel sessions — run more than one agent without merging them into a single conversation history.
- Honest state — status stays specific: thinking, using tools, waiting for you, unread result.
- Local-first product data — notes and issues live in app-owned storage on your machine. The CLI is the supported external boundary; the SQLite file is not a public API.
- Desktop writes, cloud later — a future team console may project selected org-scoped data. On-device work still goes through the desktop daemon.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”| Surface | Role |
|---|---|
| Desktop app | Primary place to run agents, edit files, preview UI, and manage notes/issues |
CLI (cocurdex) |
Open folders, manage notes/issues/search/skills, drive sessions and workflows without opening SQLite yourself |
| Product skills | Optional agent skills (cocurdex-*) for PRD → issue → ship style work against app-owned data |
Pre-release
Section titled “Pre-release”APIs, installers, and docs are still moving. Prefer current pages on this site over third-party writeups. Platform priority during pre-release: macOS first, then Windows, then Linux.
