The Builder

Draw your agent team on a canvas instead of filling in forms — three modes, an inspector, undo, a text pane, and saved presets.

Describing a team of agents through a stack of dialogs is the part of orchestration nobody enjoys. The Builder replaces that whole set-up flow with a canvas: drag agents in, wire them together, and look at the team you are describing.

Open the Orchestration Dashboard and you land on it.

The canvas

A palette rail on the left holds agents, your live terminals, work types, and your saved presets. Start a drag and the canvas raises the places you can legally drop.

A seat that cannot take what you are dragging simply dims. A refusal never costs you a dialog.

Click any seat or wire to edit it in the inspector — role, agent, model, brief. Cmd+Z / Ctrl+Z undoes anything you do on the canvas, including a whole generated chart, and Cmd+\ / Ctrl+\ collapses the palette rail when you want the canvas to itself.

Three modes

A segmented control switches between Hierarchy, Pipeline, and Router — Cmd+1 / Cmd+2 / Cmd+3 on macOS, Ctrl+1 / Ctrl+2 / Ctrl+3 on Windows and Linux. Each has its own colour, so you always know which one you are editing.

Switching modes never touches your work. Your org chart stays on the canvas while you look at Pipeline, and switching back shows it exactly as you left it. Converting one shape into the other is an explicit card you choose — never something a tab click does to you behind your back.

Every consequential action previews itself

  • Apply shows the difference between your draft and what is currently live.
  • Start opens the seat table so you can see which terminals will actually be used.
  • Removing a role tells you what happens to everyone reporting to it.

Describe it and get a chart

Write "a lead that reviews two implementers" into the generate bar and an AI agent drafts the chart straight into your editor. The result is a real editable chart, not a picture — and one Cmd+Z removes it if it is not what you meant.

The text pane

A text pane round-trips your chart to a readable diagram syntax and back, live. Paste a team in from a colleague, or copy one out into a design doc or a commit message.

Presets

Name a chart and it becomes a preset: reopen it later, start it in one click from Add Terminal → Orchestration, or pick it from the mode control in Agent Input.
