Overlord Daycare is an open-source starter kit for putting AI coding agents to work as a supervised crew. A coordinator agent delegates each task, worker agents build it in isolated checkouts, and reviewers from a different model family read every diff before it counts. You set the rules and the merge gates; the daycare handles the schedule.
How it works
-
You set the rules
Which agents may run, what they're allowed to touch, which tests must pass, and who signs off on a merge. House rules, written down once.
-
The coordinator delegates
One long-running coordinator agent turns your rules into short, bounded briefs and hands each to a worker in its own isolated checkout.
-
Workers build, reviewers check
Workers edit, test, and commit. A reviewer that didn't write the code reads the exact diff and files a verdict before anything can ship.
-
It merges, you peek in
Tests green, review clean, gates passed. The change lands, and a summary of the day waits where you left your coffee.
review : CLEAN
approve: you
By default, the final gate is a human. Full-auto merging is strictly opt-in, and even then nothing lands without green tests and a clean independent review.
