Ordewell
Ordewell is an open-source developer tool for turning one software goal into an editable, dependency-aware graph of coding-agent tasks. It runs independent tasks in parallel when possible, assigns each task its own runner/model/mode, and verifies completion from explicit evidence rather than model opinion.

Products & Services
Node.js 20+ command-line tool and full-screen terminal interface for planning, editing, running and verifying coding-agent task graphs. The npm package is a thin alias for @ordewell/cli; npx ordewell is also supported.
A VS Code panel that streams research and planning, exposes per-task runner/model/thinking-effort/mode settings, permits graph edits before execution, and shows evidence-backed task verdicts.
The scoped CLI package and the monorepo's core and web packages that underpin Ordewell's command-line, orchestration and local web/API surfaces.
Market Position
Ordewell positions itself as a developer-focused orchestration layer for coding agents rather than a general-purpose agent framework: its differentiators are an editable task DAG, per-task runner/model/mode assignment, built-in support for existing coding-agent subscriptions, parallel execution, and completion verdicts based on markers and exit codes. The broader multi-agent orchestration category includes LangGraph, CrewAI and AutoGen; Ordewell is narrower and more directly oriented to repository-changing coding work and terminal/VS Code workflows.

Founding Story
Ordewell was created around the idea that coding agents need a structured execution plan rather than an opaque, linear train of thought. Its initial vision was to turn a single goal into an editable graph of ordered tasks, make runner/model/dependency choices visible before execution, run independent work in parallel, and require a completion marker as evidence that a task actually finished.
