Built into hordecode
Every number below is drawn from the live, audited source — see the docs for sources.
A persistent session that routes work across a fleet of background agents, approves permissions, and audits every result before reporting back — you're never left babysitting subagents.
Every task runs through the matching skill before implementation starts — 17 skills covering plan, TDD, debug, review, verify — with a hard bar: no completion without a verification step actually run.
A dedicated pipeline for investigation and deep research, separate from the build pipeline — 18 of its own skills, scoped to research-only permissions.
Every active agent, subagent, and cron job shows up in the sidebar in real time, with status and elapsed time — full visibility into what's actually running, not a black box.
15 durable, database-persisted safety mechanisms — permission rules, idle- and stuck-agent detection, a sandboxed workflow engine — built into the runtime, not bolted on after the fact.
11 memory operations — hybrid keyword/semantic search, entity tracking, session summaries, dedup, all built in. No plugin, no separate API key, no third-party service to trust.
