AI-Powered Multi-Agent Orchestration System
Structured vibe coding for Full Stack Development.
Chati.dev is a system that turns AI into a structured development team. Instead of chatting with a single AI that forgets everything between sessions, you get 13 specialized agents — each with a clear role — working together through a defined pipeline.
You describe what you want to build. The agents handle requirements, architecture, planning, coding, testing, and deployment — in order, with quality gates between each phase.
You → DISCOVER → PLAN → BUILD → DEPLOY → Done
"what" "how" "code" "ship"
Every decision is saved. Every artifact is validated. If you close your laptop and come back tomorrow, the system picks up exactly where you left off.
AI-assisted development today has three critical issues:
- Context Loss — AI forgets decisions across sessions, leading to inconsistent implementations
- Planning Gaps — Jumping straight to code without structured requirements leads to rework
- Vendor Lock-in — Most AI dev tools only work with one provider, limiting flexibility
Chati.dev introduces Agent-Driven Development: a pipeline where each agent owns a specific phase, produces validated artifacts, and hands off context to the next agent. The system ensures context is never lost, knowledge persists across sessions, and you can use any supported AI provider.
- Node.js >= 20.0.0 (download)
- An AI CLI — at least one of:
- Claude Code (recommended)
- Gemini CLI
- Codex CLI
- GitHub Copilot CLI
Open a terminal in your project directory:
npx chati-dev initThe wizard guides you through 4 steps:
| Step | What it asks |
|---|---|
| Language | English, Portuguese, Spanish, or French |
| Project Type | Greenfield (new) or Brownfield (existing) |
| AI Provider | Claude, Gemini, Codex, or GitHub Copilot — auto-configures optimal models per agent |
| Confirm | Review summary and proceed |
Open your AI CLI in the same project directory, then type:
/chati
The orchestrator loads your session, detects where you left off, and routes you to the right agent. You stay inside the system until you explicitly exit.
The agents guide you through each phase:
| Phase | What happens | You do |
|---|---|---|
| DISCOVER | Agents interview you about what you want to build | Answer questions about your project |
| PLAN | Agents create PRD, architecture, UX spec, phases, and tasks | Review and approve the plan |
| BUILD | Dev agent implements the code, task by task | Review code as it's built |
| DEPLOY | DevOps agent handles git, deployment, and documentation | Confirm deployment settings |
Quality gates run automatically between phases — if something doesn't meet the threshold, the system loops back and fixes it.
npx chati-dev status # One-time snapshot
npx chati-dev status --watch # Auto-refresh every 5s/chati exit # Save session and exit
/chati # Resume exactly where you left off
| Feature | What it means |
|---|---|
| 13 Specialized Agents | Each agent has a defined mission, success criteria, and handoff protocol — not one AI trying to do everything |
| Multi-CLI Architecture | Choose your AI provider at install time: Claude, Gemini, Codex, or GitHub Copilot. Each agent gets the optimal model for that provider |
| Quality Gates | Every phase is validated before moving forward. 3-tier verdicts: APPROVED, NEEDS_REVISION, or BLOCKED |
| Context Persistence | Sessions survive restarts. Close your IDE, come back next week — the system remembers everything |
| Session Lock | Once activated, you stay inside the system. No accidentally "falling out" into generic AI mode |
| Multi-Terminal | Autonomous agents run in parallel in separate terminals. Detail, Architect, and UX agents work simultaneously |
| Memory System | The system learns from mistakes. Gotchas are captured automatically and recalled when relevant |
| Execution Profiles | Three profiles — explore (read-only), guided (default), autonomous (gate >= 90%) — with safety net and circuit breaker |
| IDE-Agnostic | Works with Claude Code, VS Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and AntiGravity |
| 4 Languages | Interface supports English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. Artifacts are always generated in English |
| Supply Chain Security | Every file is cryptographically signed (Ed25519). Tampered packages are blocked on install |
Chati.dev is provider-agnostic. You choose your AI provider during installation, and the system auto-configures optimal model assignments for every agent.
| Provider | CLI | Deep Reasoning | Lightweight | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude | claude |
Opus | Sonnet / Haiku | Default |
| Gemini | gemini |
Pro | Flash | Full support |
| Codex | codex |
Codex | Codex Mini | Full support |
| GitHub Copilot | copilot |
Sonnet 4.5 | GPT-5 | Full support |
Each agent is classified by its reasoning needs:
- Deep reasoning (Architect, QA, Dev, Detail, Brownfield-WU) → top-tier model
- Lightweight (Brief, Phases, UX, Greenfield-WU, DevOps, Orchestrator) → fast model
When you select a provider, the system maps each agent to the best available model:
Claude: architect → opus, brief → sonnet, greenfield-wu → haiku
Gemini: architect → pro, brief → flash, greenfield-wu → flash
Codex: architect → codex, brief → codex-mini
GitHub Copilot: architect → claude-sonnet, brief → claude-sonnet
Each provider uses its own CLI syntax. Chati.dev handles this transparently:
| Provider | Command | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Claude | claude --print --model <id> |
claude --print --model claude-opus-4-6 |
| Gemini | gemini --model <id> |
gemini --model gemini-2.5-pro |
| Codex | codex exec -m <id> |
codex exec -m gpt-5.3-codex |
| GitHub Copilot | copilot -p --model <id> |
copilot -p --model claude-sonnet-4.5 |
Prompts are piped via stdin for all providers. You can override individual agent models in chati.dev/config.yaml under agent_overrides.
Three profiles control how much autonomy agents have:
| Profile | Behavior | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| explore | Read-only. Agents analyze but don't modify files | Understanding a new codebase |
| guided | Default. Agents propose changes, you approve | Normal development workflow |
| autonomous | Agents execute without confirmation (quality gates >= 90%) | Trusted pipelines with high quality scores |
The system starts in guided mode. Transition to autonomous requires both QA gates scoring >= 95%. A safety net with 5 triggers (stuck loop, quality drop, scope creep, error cascade, user override) automatically reverts to guided mode when needed.
| Phase | Agents | What they do |
|---|---|---|
| DISCOVER | Greenfield WU, Brownfield WU, Brief | Interview you, understand your project, extract requirements |
| PLAN | Detail, Architect, UX, Phases, Tasks | Create PRD, design architecture, define UX, break work into phases and tasks |
| BUILD | Dev | Implement code task by task, following the plan |
| DEPLOY | DevOps | Handle git operations, deployment, and documentation |
| Quality | QA-Planning, QA-Implementation | Validate plan coherence (>= 95%) and code quality (>= 95%) between phases |

Each spawned terminal runs as a separate CLI process with its own context window, write-scope isolation, and structured handoff output. The AI provider and model are selected automatically based on your configuration.
Three systems operate transparently behind the pipeline:
| System | What it does |
|---|---|
| Context Engine (PRISM) | Injects the right context at the right time. 5 layers of context (from system-wide rules down to specific task details). Tracks how much context space remains and adapts automatically. |
| Memory System (RECALL) | Remembers decisions, gotchas, and lessons across sessions. Organized into 4 sectors: what happened (episodic), what we know (semantic), how we do things (procedural), and what we learned (reflective). |
| Decision Engine (COMPASS) | Before creating something new, checks if a similar component already exists. Decides whether to reuse, adapt, or create from scratch. Keeps a registry of all project entities. |
The system is governed by a 19-article Constitution that enforces agent behavior, quality standards, security, and system integrity:
- Agent Governance — Every agent has a defined mission, scope, and success criteria
- Quality Standards — Minimum 95% score on quality gates. 3-tier verdicts (APPROVED / NEEDS_REVISION / BLOCKED)
- Security — No secrets in system files. No destructive operations without confirmation. Ed25519 supply chain verification
- Mode Governance — Planning mode can't modify project code. Build mode has full access
- Session Lock — Once activated, all messages route through the orchestrator
- Model Governance — Each agent runs on its designated model, enforced by the CLI adapter
- Execution Profiles — Explore, guided, and autonomous modes with safety net and circuit breaker
- Multi-CLI — Provider-agnostic architecture with adapter pattern and automatic model mapping
| IDE | How it connects |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | .claude/commands/chati.md → orchestrator |
| VS Code | .vscode/chati.md → orchestrator |
| Cursor | .cursor/rules/chati.md → orchestrator |
| Gemini CLI | .gemini/commands/chati.toml → orchestrator |
| GitHub Copilot | .github/agents/chati.md → orchestrator |
| AntiGravity | Platform agent config → orchestrator |
All IDEs use a thin router file that points to the same orchestrator. Your project works the same regardless of which IDE you use.
