Run every coding agentat once. Keep the best.

ZLI puts Claude Code, Codex, Droid, Gemini CLI and six more agents side by side in one window. Each one works in its own Git worktree and terminal, so they never step on each other. You compare what they did and merge the one you want.

Bring the agents you already use

ZLI runs the agent CLIs installed on your machine with your own accounts. Sign in to more than one account per CLI and pick one per agent.

01A worktree per agent

Four agents, one repo, no collisions.

Every new agent can start on its own branch in its own Git worktree. They edit the same project at the same time, and none of them can see the others’ half-finished changes.

  • A zli.json in your repo copies files like .env into each new worktree.
  • Setup commands run in their own terminals, and only after you approve them.
  • Terminals belong to a background daemon, so they survive a window restart.

  }
}

02Best of N

Ask once. Get up to four answers.

Send one message to two, three, or four agents. Each run gets its own worktree. When they finish, compare the results side by side and keep the one you like. ZLI deletes the rest, worktrees and branches included.

03Review and merge

Read the diff before it reaches main.

Changes lists every file an agent touched with its line counts. Leave a note on a line and the agent picks it up. When it looks right, commit, push, open a pull request, or merge the worktree back into its branch.

  • Stage, discard, and stash without leaving the panel.
  • Create, switch, rename, and delete branches.
  • See pull request checks right next to the diff.

Debounce this so we don’t call the server on every keystroke.

Everything else you need is in the same window.

A browser for each worktree

A built-in Chromium panel opens your dev server per worktree. Agents can open pages in it and test them too.

Integrations and MCP

Connect GitHub, Linear, Vercel, and Supabase, add any MCP server, and install Claude Code or Codex plugins. Every agent ZLI starts can use them.

Skills, prompts, and issues

Share skills and saved prompts across agents. Type / to insert one. Start work straight from a GitHub or Linear issue.

Permissions you choose

Read only, Auto, or Full access, set per agent from the composer. Setup commands from zli.json always ask first.

Terminal or chat

Each tile switches between the agent’s real terminal and a clean chat view with model and reasoning pickers.

Updates itself

ZLI checks GitHub Releases on start and every four hours, then shows what changed after it updates.

Built for the keyboard.

Every action has a shortcut, and you can change all of them. Try CtrlK on this page.
