Introduction
Golutra coordinates multiple AI coding agents to work on different parts of a project simultaneously. Instead of running a single agent at a time, it dispatches tasks across agents, manages their execution, and merges results — acting as a control plane for AI-assisted development.
What Golutra Does
- Orchestrates multiple AI agents working in parallel on different tasks
- Manages task queues with priority scheduling and dependency tracking
- Provides a desktop application for visual task monitoring
- Supports long-running workflows that persist across sessions
- Integrates with popular coding agents as execution backends
Architecture Overview
Golutra is written in Rust for performance and reliability. The core is an orchestration engine that maintains a task graph, dispatching work items to agent backends via a plugin interface. Each agent runs in isolation with its own working directory. The coordination layer handles conflict resolution when multiple agents modify overlapping files. A WebSocket-based dashboard provides real-time visibility into agent activity.
Self-Hosting & Configuration
- Download a single binary for your platform from GitHub releases
- Initialize a workspace with the init command to create configuration
- Configure agent backends by specifying API keys and model preferences
- Set concurrency limits based on available compute resources
- Persistent state is stored locally for workflow resumption
Key Features
- Parallel agent execution with automatic conflict resolution
- Task dependency graphs for complex multi-step workflows
- Desktop application with real-time agent activity monitoring
- Plugin architecture supporting multiple agent backends
- Built in Rust for low resource overhead and fast startup

FAQ
Q: Which AI agents does Golutra support? A: It works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and other agents that expose a CLI or API interface.
Q: How does it handle conflicting file changes? A: The orchestration engine detects overlapping modifications and applies conflict resolution strategies, escalating to the user when automatic merging fails.
Q: Can I use Golutra without a desktop environment? A: Yes. The CLI mode provides full functionality for headless and server environments.
Q: Does it require a GPU? A: No. Golutra orchestrates remote or local agents. GPU requirements depend on the agents and models you choose to run.
