Usta v0.1.0 — first public release

Your AI engineering team. Not an assistant.

Usta is a native macOS IDE where you don't talk to one AI. You talk to a team — a PM agent plans the work, specialist roles (frontend, backend, DB, QA, security, devops, designer…) run in their own terminals, and they hand work off through a shared event bus.

✨ Highlights

• Multi-agent orchestration — PM auto-plans which roles act on each request and assigns scoped tasks.
• Real terminals per role — SwiftTerm PTY, persistent scrollback across daemon restarts.
• Pluggable LLMs — Anthropic, Gemini, local Ollama. Local-first is real.
• Shared event bus — SQLite-backed, fuzzy topic matching, auto inter-agent reactions.
• Bottleneck detector — global "Next Action" bar always shows you what to unblock.
• Idle watcher — daemon detects when a role finishes and publishes its announcements.
• MCP server included — drive Usta from any MCP-compatible client.
• Skills system — caveman, memory, mattpocock catalog, custom.
• Diff view for fs_edit / fs_write tool calls.
• Keychain-backed API key storage. Keys never touch disk.
