Check before choosing

The supported provider set has provider-specific behavior, and shared teammate access is not established by the current record.

Workflow fit

Existing evidence gates classify four predefined workflows. Bands are non-numeric and do not rank product quality.

  • One agent + review

    Strong fit

    Stay close to one coding session and inspect changes in a dedicated visual surface.

    Current sources document visual review, workspace isolation.
  • Parallel local tasks

    Strong fit

    Run several coding tasks on one machine without their branches or files colliding.

    Current sources document parallel sessions, workspace isolation, visual review.
  • Remote control

    Good fit

    Start or revisit coding work away from the machine where the repository is running.

    Every required mechanism is documented; current sources do not establish the preferred shared team access mechanism.
  • Shared team workspace

    Conditional fit

    Let teammates enter the same live workspace to watch, steer, preview, or review work.

    The product may fit, but current sources do not establish shared team access.

Harness coverage

The audited registry contains 35 named CLI integrations; the live provider page currently lists 34 because CodeBuddy is present in code but not yet on that page. Capabilities vary by provider, and every CLI needs its own product access.

Workflow mechanisms

Unknown means the current first-party record does not establish the mechanism; it is not converted into evidence of absence.

4 of 5 documented
  • parallel sessions

    Documented

    The desktop app runs multiple coding agents in parallel.

  • workspace isolation

    Documented

    Each task receives a Git worktree and branch.

  • visual review

    Documented

    Diff review, PR creation, CI inspection, and merge are available in one surface.

  • remote execution or access

    Documented

    Remote projects run on user-controlled machines over SSH and SFTP.

  • shared team access

    Not established

    The current official record does not establish multiple teammates sharing one live workspace.

Technical and public context

Implementation inspection and source-native activity provide investigation context. Neither changes workflow fit.

Public activity signals

Daily source snapshots provide ecosystem context only. They do not affect workflow fit or capability claims.

Implementation record

Inspected at commit 5ace464a0c23.

  • Worktree lifecycle and Git review operations are implemented in the desktop app.
  • Local and SSH project providers share the workspace abstraction.
  • The pinned plugin registry registers 35 named CLI providers; integration depth differs by provider and 22 are documented as ACP-capable.
Inspected paths
  • apps/emdash-desktop/src/main/core/projects/worktrees/worktree-service.ts
  • apps/emdash-desktop/src/main/core/projects/create-project-provider.ts
  • apps/emdash-desktop/src/main/core/git/worktree/controller.ts
  • packages/plugins/src/agents/registry.ts

The audit establishes implementation presence, not usability, security, or reliable performance under load.

First-party evidence

Sources establish specific current GUI claims; their count does not add fit points.
