Intro

Bernstein coordinates CLI coding agents in parallel worktrees with signed audit chains, deterministic scheduling, and evidence trails.

Best for: teams that need parallel agent execution with strong lineage, compliance evidence, and reproducible scheduling rather than informal orchestration

Works with: pipx, Git worktrees, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, multi-agent scheduling, enterprise audit requirements

Setup time: 10-18 minutes

Main

Bernstein is aimed at organizations that cannot treat orchestration as a black box. Every scheduled action is meant to leave evidence strong enough for security or compliance review.

The headline numbers are practical signals: 43 agent adapters, HMAC-SHA256 audit chaining, and deterministic worktree scheduling make it more than a wrapper around shell scripts.

Adopt it when several coding agents are already in play and the next problem is not access to models but control, lineage, and post-incident reconstruction.

Source-backed notes

  • README calls Bernstein a deterministic Python scheduler for CLI coding agents.
  • The project documents 43 CLI agent adapters in v1.10.1.
  • The security model highlights an HMAC-SHA256 audit chain and signed agent cards.

FAQ

Q: Is Bernstein only for big enterprises? A: No, but it is most valuable when teams care about auditable orchestration and reproducible evidence.

Q: How fast is first use? A: The README shows a 30-second install path via pipx install bernstein, then init and run.

Q: What is the main differentiator? A: Deterministic scheduling plus signed audit trails across many CLI agents.
