The Problem

Running multiple AI coding agents on the same codebase usually ends one of two ways: they trample each other's changes, or they drift apart because each holds a different mental model of the system. Shared memory doesn't scale to parallel agents — it just scales the confusion.

Corvus takes a different position: agents should coordinate the way engineering teams do — through explicit contracts, not telepathy.

Architecture

Corvus is an Electron desktop app built around an infinite canvas (React Flow) where each node is an agent working a slice of the codebase. Agents never share memory; they coordinate through structured contracts — OpenAPI specs, database schemas, and TypeScript interfaces — so parallel work composes instead of colliding.

Isolation runs through the whole design: Git worktrees isolate each agent's changes on disk, and worker threads isolate agent execution in the app. Corvus is BYOK — it ships zero AI models and connects to the keys you bring.

Key Features

• Infinite Canvas Orchestration — A React Flow canvas for visually composing and monitoring multiple agents working in parallel on one codebase.
• Contract-Based Coordination — Agents agree on OpenAPI specs, DB schemas, and TS interfaces up front, then build against them independently. No shared memory, no drift.
• Git Worktree Isolation — Every agent works in its own worktree. Changes merge deliberately, never accidentally.
• Worker Thread Execution — Agent execution runs off the main process, keeping the canvas responsive while agents work.
• BYOK by Design — Ships zero AI models. You bring your own keys; Corvus brings the orchestration.
