Comanda

comanda
Make coding agents earn their exit.
Comanda is the terminal-native runtime for durable, self-improving agent work in a repository. Describe a workflow in English, inspect the generated program, run the coding agents you already use, and stop only when your own quality gates say the work is done.

From an idea to a governed workflow

Comanda starts with English, but ends with a YAML program you can inspect, version, and improve.

Describe it. Inspect it. Run it. Improve it. Commit it.

A loop does not finish because an agent says “DONE”

Long-running work needs an observable exit criterion. Comanda's agentic loops persist state, refine subsequent prompts from prior results, and run automated quality gates after each iteration. Interrupt a run and resume it from its last checkpoint.

When deterministic gates prepare files consumed by a loop's first step, set
quality_gates_before_steps: true; the default remains post-step validation.

Run the complete code-quality loop, then inspect or resume it:

Comanda supports retry, abort, and skip policies; syntax, security, and custom-command gates; bounded or indefinite runs; and creator/checker or dependent multi-loop workflows. See agentic-loop examples.

Use the agents you already have

Coordinate Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, Kimi Code, API models, and local models in one workflow. Give agents distinct roles, pass work through files or standard input/output, and keep the results visible in your repository.
