>log in to commentHey everyone! 👋 🤔 What stops me from working on more projects and managing more agents at once? Tools, and me. 💡 So I built Facade Code: one IDE for you and your AI team. It's a free, MIT-licensed VS Code fork with two modes. 🛠️ Super Engineer: Manage projects, git worktrees and agents in one window. Run native Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity and Muse Code on your own plans. Agents and terminals are first-class, just like files. 👥 Super Team: Set goals and let agents manage agents. They launch, monitor and message each other across vendors, and can even read and type into each other's terminals to help when stuck ("agent use"). 🌈 Why cross-vendor? Models from different vendors have different tastes, so a mixed team covers more angles than one model role-playing every role. 🔀 Mix both modes in one IDE. Everything else is stock VS Code. 🙏 It's still early, and I'd love your feedback! What's your biggest pain point when managing multiple coding agents?

- Facade Code vs Visual Studio Code: Standard VS Code without built-in AI agents
- Facade Code vs Cursor: AI-enhanced editor but focuses on a single assistant rather than multi-agent teams
- Facade Code vs Kiro: Agentic IDE from AWS with spec-driven development, not a VS Code fork
- Facade Code vs Claude Code: Claude Code provides a single coding agent, not a collaborative multi-agent environment
