About Kage

State an intent. Kage's orchestrator briefs a coding agent from your repo's own memory, runs it in an isolated git worktree — a single run or a multi-wave goal — and re-runs the checks itself rather than trusting the agent's report:

  • agent-memory
  • ai-agents
  • claude-code
  • code-graph
  • codex
  • cursor
  • developer-tools
  • knowledge-graph
  • mcp
  • mcp-server
