Watchfire lets you define your project structure, break work into well-scoped tasks, and orchestrate agents that execute with full awareness of your codebase, constraints, and goals. It manages context automatically — so agents stay on track and produce code you'd actually ship.\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Install\n\n### macOS\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/watchfire-io/watchfire/releases/latest\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://img.shields.io/badge/Download-Latest%20Release-blue?style=for-the-badge\" alt=\"Download Latest Release\" /\u003e\n  \u003c/a\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n**Homebrew** (recommended):\n\n```bash\nbrew tap watchfire-io/tap\nbrew install --cask watchfire-io/tap/watchfire   # Desktop app (GUI + CLI)\nbrew install watchfire-io/tap/watchfire          # CLI \u0026 daemon only\n```\n\n**Script:**\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/watchfire-io/watchfire/main/scripts/install.sh | bash\n```\n\n### Linux\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/watchfire-io/watchfire/main/scripts/install.sh | bash\n```\n\nHomebrew also works on Linux:\n```bash\nbrew tap watchfire-io/tap \u0026\u0026 brew install watchfire-io/tap/watchfire\n```\n\n### Windows\n\n```powershell\nirm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/watchfire-io/watchfire/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex\n```\n\n---\n\n## How It Works\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"assets/readme-how-it-works.svg\" alt=\"How It Works\" width=\"700\" /\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Key Features\n\n### 🎯 Context Management\n\nDefine your project once.

Agents tackle them in order, each in an isolated git worktree branch.\n\n### 🚀 Scale with Confidence\n\nRun agents across multiple projects in parallel. Monitor live terminal output, review results, and merge — from TUI or GUI.\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"assets/readme-context-flow.svg\" alt=\"Context flows into agents\" width=\"650\" /\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n---\n\n## Agent Modes\n\n| Mode | Description |\n|------|-------------|\n| **Chat** | Interactive session with the coding agent |\n| **Task** | Execute a specific task from the task list |\n| **Start All** | Run all ready tasks sequentially |\n| **Wildfire** | Autonomous loop: execute tasks, refine drafts, generate new tasks |\n| **Generate Definition** | Auto-generate a project definition from your codebase |\n| **Generate Tasks** | Auto-generate tasks from the project definition |\n\n---\n\n## Build from Source\n\n```bash\n# Build \u0026 install\nmake install-tools   # Dev tools (golangci-lint, air, protoc plugins)\nmake build           # Build daemon + CLI\nmake install         # Install to /usr/local/bin\n\n# Use it\ncd your-project\nwatchfire init       # Initialize a project\nwatchfire task add   # Add tasks\nwatchfire            # Launch the TUI\n```\n\n---\n\n## Components\n\n| Component | Binary | Description |\n|-----------|--------|-------------|\n| **Daemon** | `watchfired` | Orchestration, PTY management, git workflows, gRPC server, system tray |\n| **CLI/TUI** | `watchfire` | Project-scoped CLI commands + interactive TUI mode |\n| **GUI** | `Watchfire.app` | Electron multi-project client |\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\nmake dev-daemon   # Daemon with hot reload\nmake dev-tui      # Build and run TUI\nmake dev-gui      # Electron GUI dev mode\nmake test         # Tests with race detector\nmake lint         # Linting\nmake proto        # Regenerate protobuf code\n```\n\n## Architecture\n\nSee [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for the full design document.\n\n## License\n\nProprietary.
