DorkOS Documentation
Mission control for every coding agent you run. One cockpit for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.
DorkOS
DorkOS is mission control for the coding agents you run: Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. You get one cockpit where your agents work, report back, and coordinate across all your projects. One of you starts to feel like a whole team. That is the point.
It is free and open source. It runs on your machine, your code stays on your machine, and you use the AI accounts you already have.
