Koryphaios documentation
Koryphaios is a native desktop AI workspace that orchestrates a team of coding agents against your real project — planning, delegating, self-reviewing, and letting you undo anything. These docs explain how it works and where the sharp edges are.
What Koryphaios is
Most AI coding tools are a single model in a chat box. Koryphaios is an orchestrator: a manager agent (“Kory”) plans a task, delegates pieces to specialist worker agents running in isolated git worktrees, runs a read-only critic over their work, and synthesizes the result — all against your actual repository, on your machine.
It runs as a native desktop app (Tauri + a local Bun backend). Your code never leaves your computer unless you explicitly share it. You bring your own models — API keys or the agent CLIs you already have installed (Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Cursor, Devin, Cline, Antigravity).

Design principles
- Local-first. The backend runs on your machine; your code stays yours.
- Bring your own models. Any provider, API key or CLI, mixed freely.
- Reversible. Every AI change is a ghost commit you can rewind.
- Honest about limits. Where a CLI or the sandbox can't guarantee something, the app and these docs say so.
