What is AgentForge?

AgentForge is a native desktop application that lets you run multiple Claude Code instances simultaneously, each in its own managed workspace. Built with Tauri 2.0 (Rust backend) and React (TypeScript frontend).

Key Features

• Structured chat UI — Rich message rendering with markdown, syntax highlighting, and tool use cards
• Permission management — Approve or deny agent tool requests inline
• Git integration — Built-in status, diff, staging, and commit panel
• Workspace isolation — Git worktree-based workspace management
• Dual output modes — Structured JSON stream (primary) or terminal fallback (xterm.js)

Prerequisites
