Description
Give Hydra one prompt and it splits the work across a team of coding agents running in parallel. Each agent gets its own git worktree and branch, and nothing lands until it clears gates: tests, screenshots, and a read-only review. Multi-step plans run in dependency order. Hydra never asks for your API key or reads your credentials. Open source, MIT.

Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping coding LLMs is common, building an autonomous orchestrator managing concurrent Git worktrees, isolated sandboxes, dependency trees, and automated test gating requires complex systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires an agent orchestration engine (Go or Rust) managing local git plumbing (`git worktree`), isolated execution environments (Docker/Firecracker), and an AST/DAG dependency scheduler for multi-step agent plans. The hard parts are state reconciliation, handling merge conflicts across parallel agent branches, and deterministic sandboxed test verification without breaking the developer's local environment.
