Anyone running 3+ agents in parallel has hit the same wall: the agents are fine, the coordination is the problem. Merge conflicts. Duplicated work. No review gate. Token burn on orchestration overhead.
Orc is a multi-project orchestrator that tries to be as lightweight as possible while still being useful. Describe the work. It decomposes, spawns engineers in isolated git worktrees, reviews everything before merge, and delivers clean goal branches. Runtime is bash, tmux, and git. State is three files.
It's opinionated about structure but stays out of your way. The review loop is mandatory, but the review process is yours: swap in your own command, point it at a multi-agent review tool, or just describe your review standards in plain English in a TOML field. Branch naming, delivery strategy, agent personas, same deal. Most of the configuration is "tell it what you want in natural language."
Huge respect to Gas Town for proving this category matters. Orc asked "what's the minimum viable version of this?"
Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, or bring your own. YOLO mode for the reckless. (It still escalates on merge conflicts. We're not animals lol )
