Who it is forAn engineer handling a bug that needs analysis, a code fix, and tests that can run in parallel.
The problemRunning several agent tasks by hand means tracking each one separately and collecting results manually.
The outcomeThe coordinating conversation creates child conversations, reads their status and history, sends follow-up instructions, and brings results back.
What you need first
- A terminal where npx runs, on the machine you want to connect
- A Lody account, since the daemon start command opens a sign-in link
- At least one coding agent already set up on that machine, such as Claude Code, Codex, or another ACP-compatible Agent
- A workspace name you can use with the CLI
Steps
- Open a conversation with a main Agent and describe the bug to analyze.
- Ask the main Agent to create separate conversations for investigation, implementation, and testing.
- Let the main Agent read each child conversation's status and history and send follow-up instructions where needed.
- Use an
@mention to reference a child conversation when you need to connect work across sessions. - Run
npx lody session list --workspace my-teamto check the status of the child conversations from the CLI.
Prompt for your agent
In the LodyAI/Lody repo, act as the coordinating conversation for the bug <bug-description> in the workspace <workspace-name>. Create or reuse child conversations for investigation, implementation, and testing, then report each child conversation's status. Verify the statuses against the output of `npx lody session list --workspace <workspace-name>`.
Caveat. The README says child conversations stay independent while keeping a link to their creator, so results still need review before they are merged into your code.
