GZA

![Gza - Liquid Swords](/docs/assets/gza-liquid-swords-400w.jpg)

A personal software factory - queues coding tasks for background agents to plan, implement, review, and test in parallel, then auto-merge what passes.

Key dependencies

  • uv — for installing GZA and its Python dependencies
  • A LLM provider CLI (at least one required):
  • Docker (optional) — runs each task in an isolated container
    • optional, but there are likely more bugs in the non-Docker path as I rarely use it.

Workflow overview

**Add tasks** — any of:

  • gza add "..." on the CLI (--tag to group tasks by horizon)
  • the /gza-task-add skill
  • conversationally with Claude or Codex, once you've installed the skills (gza skills-install)

**Run them** — two modes:

  • Hands-on: gza iterate --max-iterations N drives one task through its review/improve loop; gza merge when it's good.
  • Async: gza watch --tag implements, reviews, and merges matching tasks in a loop.

Further reading

  • Quick Start — get started, quickly.
  • Configuration — every command, option, and setting.
  • Examples — parallel workers, bulk import, and plan-implement-review patterns.
