Talk to one agent. Ship with a crew.
firstmate is an agent distribution that lets one coding agent coordinate a crew of autonomous agents working in separate git worktrees. It is for running parallel fixes, investigations, plans, and audits while receiving completed pull requests, merges, or reports through one supervising agent. The catalogue entries provide skills, hooks, instructions, and settings for operating this workflow.
These files are kunchenguid/firstmate's own configuration. They tell Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on this repository, so they are not mods to install elsewhere. Copy one as a starting point and replace the parts that are about this project.
