Overview
Shepherd runs multiple AI coding agents ("sheep") in parallel across different codebases, routes tasks to the right worker, streams their live output, and keeps a full task history. It is built around a **Web UI + daemon** and speaks to a wide range of AI backends — cloud CLIs, self-hosted local models, and a built-in multi-model consensus engine (MAGI).

Three ways to drive it:
- Web UI (primary) — Full dashboard with real-time streaming, task management, project git views, file browser, issues, wiki, schedules, and skills
- MCP Server — Integrate with Claude Desktop / other MCP clients
- CLI — Direct commands and a legacy interactive/TUI mode
Core Concepts
- Shepherd (Manager) — Analyzes each task and routes it to the right worker
- Sheep (Workers) — Individual AI agent instances, each assigned to a project and a provider
- Projects — Codebases the sheep work on
- Providers — The AI backend a sheep uses (Claude, OpenCode, Pi, Grok, Embedded, MAGI)
- Sheep Personal Memory — Per-sheep notes under
~/.shepherd/sheep//that follow the sheep across projects (moments, bonds, voice)
Providers
Shepherd is multi-provider. Each sheep runs one provider; you can mix providers across your flock and switch per sheep at any time.
