Agentplane is an open-source agent orchestration harness and execution framework developed by Basilisk Labs. It is designed to coordinate automated software development workflows, manage task artifacts, and bridge external AI coding agents with local source code repositories. In daily use, Agentplane operates as a task-driven harness where tasks are assigned discrete IDs and managed through structured state files in a `.agentplane` directory. The framework standardizes how context is ingested from the codebase, formats prompts and projection context, and captures external agent outputs for automated application and verification. What differentiates Agentplane is its focus on reproducible task artifact tracking and modular agent recipes. Rather than acting strictly as a single interactive LLM chat terminal, Agentplane standardizes agent recipes and plugins (such as Hermes integrations) to orchestrate multi-step code execution, verification runs, and artifact logging in version-controlled projects. Agentplane is distributed as an open-source project hosted on GitHub, with configuration managed via repository-level dotfiles and modular recipes.
