Who it is forA developer whose change has parts that suit different coding agents, such as a security refactor next to a documentation update.
The problemOne agent and one model for every step either overspends on simple tasks or underperforms on hard ones, and dependencies between steps are easy to get wrong.
The outcomeA plan where each task uses the runner and model you chose, with dependent tasks waiting for the work they need.
What you need first
- Node.js 20 or newer
- git, for task isolation
- At least one of Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode installed
- Optional: an API key from one of the supported providers, if you do not want a coding agent to act as the planner
Steps
- Install the CLI with
npm install -g ordewell. - Set the planner with
export AI_PROVIDER=claude-code, or use another supported planner. - Create the plan with
ordewell plan --goal "<your goal>". (inferred, check the README) - Move a task to another agent with
ordewell task-runner 2 opencode, change a model withordewell task-model 3 sonnet, and set waits withordewell task-deps 3 1,2. - Run the plan with
ordewell run, then check the results withordewell handoff review.
Prompt for your agent
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`.
Caveat. The README names Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode as supported runners, so check that the agent you pick is installed locally before you assign tasks to it.
