How to use Ordewell: what you can do with it

What is Ordewell? Ordewell is a TypeScript tool that turns one coding goal into an editable plan of tasks, runs each task with a coding agent on its own branch, and helps you review and merge the results.

How do I use it? Install the CLI with npm install -g ordewell; then run ordewell in your project, then choose a planner and runners with /planner and /runners; describe your goal, or run ordewell plan --goal "<your goal>", and answer the planner's clarifying questions. Full steps below.

3 use cases

  • Plan a feature and merge it after review

    Turn a feature goal into a reviewed plan, run it, then merge the combined diff.

    View prompt
    In the repository at <project path>, run `ordewell plan --goal "<feature goal>"` and then `ordewell run`. Output the task list with each task's runner, model and mode, and the result of `ordewell handoff review`. Verify that no task shows a failed or needs-you status before you run `ordewell handoff merge`.

  • Split one plan across Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode

    Assign each task its own agent and model, and set the order they wait on each other.

    View prompt
    In the repository at <project path>, create a plan with `ordewell plan --goal "<goal>"`, then reassign task 2 to a different runner with `ordewell task-runner 2 <runner>`. Output the final task list showing each task's runner, model and dependencies. Verify that task 3 waits on tasks 1 and 2 before you run `ordewell run`.

  • Run a read-only audit before any code changes

    Have agents review the repository without write access, then read their reports.

    View prompt
    In the repository at <project path>, plan a read-only audit of <module or area> with Ordewell and run it. Output each audit task's summary and numbered findings with evidence. Verify that the audit tasks ran in read-only mode and that `git status` shows no changes to the repository.
