TLDR

A Windows desktop app that runs multiple AI coding assistants on the same project at once, with shared memory so they don't overwrite each other's work.

Requires Windows and at least one installed AI coding assistant (such as Claude Code or Codex) with existing logins.

In plain English

VibeCode is a Windows desktop app that lets you run multiple AI coding assistants on the same project at the same time, from a single window. It works with tools you may already use, like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Kimi Code, and Grok. Instead of replacing those tools, it launches them directly and wraps them in a graphical interface, so your existing logins, sessions, and settings keep working as they normally would. The core idea is something called a Bridge. A Bridge lets you place several agents side by side on the same codebase, each in its own pane with its own provider and model. The hard part of running multiple agents is that they can collide, redo work, or overwrite each other. VibeCode addresses this with a shared memory file that all agents read and maintain. Agents claim specific areas of the project and post what they are currently working on, so peers check before editing the same files. A feature called Announce lets you send one message to every agent at once, which is useful when you need to change direction or set a new rule. You can also designate one agent as a manager, which takes your high level instructions, breaks the work into separate lanes, and assigns those lanes to the other agents. Workers report back when they finish, and the manager assigns them new tasks automatically. VibeCode also tracks usage and cost per model, and it shares MCP servers across all the connected tools. It is a work in progress, with rough edges and changing behavior expected. The author actively encourages bug reports, since user feedback is the fastest way to improve it. The full README is longer than what was shown.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
How do I set up a Bridge in VibeCode so that Claude Code and Grok can work on different parts of my project without colliding?
Prompt 2
Write a high-level prompt I can give to the manager agent in VibeCode so it breaks my feature request into separate lanes and assigns them to worker agents.
Prompt 3
How does the shared memory file in VibeCode work, and what should I do if two agents try to edit the same file at the same time?
Prompt 4
Help me configure VibeCode to share an MCP server across Claude Code, Codex, and Kimi Code so all my agents have access to the same tools.
