*A control plane for Claude Code — run a coordinated team of agents in VS Code.*

One Claude Code agent is easy. Running *several* at once is chaos — keeping track of what each is doing and stitching their work together. **David** is a VS Code extension that runs and coordinates a whole team of Claude Code agents for you: an **Overseer** that plans and dispatches work, **worker** agents that carry it out, a shared file-bus that carries memory between them, and a **"Needs You"** panel that holds anything consequential for your one-click approval.

David isn't another agent framework, and it doesn't replace Claude Code. It's a **control plane** for the Claude Code sessions you already run.

Why David

👥 A coordinated team, not parallel chaos. An Overseer plans and dispatches; workers do the work; they talk over a human-readable file-bus with memory that persists across sessions. One place to watch and approve.
🔒 You stay in control. Approval gates on consequential actions, an append-only audit log per agent, and memory you can read as plain Markdown. No surprises.
🖥️ Everything in VS Code. Tree views of every agent, a "Needs You" approval panel, click-to-act — your whole team visible and steerable from your editor.

**Before you install — the honest caveats:**

macOS only in v0.1 (it leans on launchd; Windows/Linux is the next big effort).
Needs Claude Code v2.1.51+ logged in via OAuth (claude.ai), not an API key.
It's v0.1 — shipped on manual QA, no automated test suite yet. Expect rough edges; I'm dogfooding David to build its own next version.

What it does

Spawns multiple claude subprocesses, one per agent, via node-pty. Each agent is its own Claude Code session with remote-control on (talk to any agent from claude.ai or the Claude mobile app).
Coordinates them via a file-bus at `~/.david
