🎯 Pitaya

Orchestrate AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI) with pluggable strategies and a clean TUI.

Note: Pitaya is in public beta. Interfaces and defaults may evolve.

What It Does

• Runs multiple agents in parallel and helps you pick the best result
• Uses per‑task branches in your repo to keep alternatives safe and reviewable
• Displays a clean, adaptive TUI with live progress, costs, and tokens
• Supports custom Python strategies for multi‑stage workflows

Built‑in strategies: simple, scoring, best‑of‑n, iterative, bug‑finding, doc‑review

Install

pip install pitaya
# or
pipx install pitaya
# or
uv tool install pitaya

Authenticate:

• Claude Code: set CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN (subscription) or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
• Codex CLI: set OPENAI_API_KEY (and optionally OPENAI_BASE_URL)

Quickstart

From the root of a git repo:

pitaya "Create a HELLO.txt file with 'Hello from Pitaya' text in it and commit it"

More examples:

# Parallel candidates with scoring (pick the best)
pitaya "Write the funniest and most original joke possible" --strategy best-of-n -S n=5

# Iterative refine (generate → review → refine)
pitaya "Write the funniest and most original joke possible" --strategy iterative -S iterations=3

# Headless JSON output
pitaya "task" --json

OpenRouter (Codex plugin) example:

pitaya "Write the funniest and most original joke possible" \
  --plugin codex \
  --model "openai/gpt-5" \
  --api-key "$OPENROUTER_API_KEY" \
  --base-url https://openrouter.ai/api/v1

Configuration (peek)

Optional pitaya.yaml to set defaults:

model: sonnet
plugin_name: claude-code
orchestration:
  max_parallel_instances: auto
  branch_namespace: hierarchical

CLI overrides config; -S key=value only affects the selected strategy.

Results & Logs
