# Piebald

> Cross-platform agentic AI development tool that lets developers orchestrate parallel agents with full control over context and configuration.

Piebald is a cross-platform agentic AI control application designed for developers who want full command over their AI-assisted development workflow. It enables users to orchestrate dozens of parallel agents, exercise complete control over context, and build software agentically without requiring WSL or Git Bash on Windows. The tool supports major AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, and allows users to import credentials from existing subscriptions like Claude Pro/Max, ChatGPT Pro/Plus, and Google AI Pro/Ultra.

- **Use Your Own Subscriptions** - Connect directly to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google APIs, or any compatible API, and import credentials from Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI to leverage existing AI subscriptions.

- **Draft Prompt Preservation** - Automatically saves all prompts as you type, allowing you to switch between chats without losing work and return to continue where you left off.

- **Session Persistence** - All sessions are safely persisted across machine reboots, including pending tool calls waiting for approval, with clear status indicators in the sidebar.

- **Fine-Grained Configuration** - Customize system prompts, inference hyperparameters like temperature and max tokens, stop sequences, and provider-specific fields with JSON override support.

- **Profiles** - Create reusable collections of configuration and tools for different use cases, such as a "Chatting" profile with limited tools for general conversations.

- **HTTP Traffic Inspector** - Pro feature that provides real-time visibility into all HTTP requests powering the agentic development experience, including headers, bodies, status codes, and SSE chunks.

- **MCP Tool Support** - Full Model Context Protocol tool-calling support with the ability to enable/disable MCP servers and individual tools on a per-chat and per-profile basis.

- **Agent Skills & Plan Mode** - Load agent skills to augment AI capabilities, use plan mode to have the model devise solutions awaiting approval, and manually or automatically compact chats to preserve context.

- **Chat Management** - Features include chat continuation, automatic and manual tagging, relocation and duplication, clickable path references, and GitHub-style markdown admonitions.

To get started, download Piebald for your platform (Windows, macOS, or Linux), configure your AI provider credentials or import from existing CLI tools, and begin creating agentic development sessions with full control over your workflow.
