Agent Runner

Agent Runner is a local workflow runner for coding agents.

It lets you define multi-step workflows - plan, implement, validate, fix, review, open a PR - and run those steps through the agent CLIs you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, and OpenCode.

The key difference: the workflow lives outside the agent’s context window. The agent still reasons, writes code, and fixes problems. Agent Runner owns the sequencing, retries, state, validation loops, and resumption.

Quick start

macOS and Linux (Homebrew)

brew tap Codagent-AI/tap
brew install --cask agent-runner
agent-runner

First launch opens the guided setup and tutorial. The Homebrew install also installs Agent Runner’s helper CLIs, including agent-plugin and agent-validator.

Linux tarball fallback

If you are not using Homebrew, download the latest Linux tarball for your architecture from releases:

curl -LO https://github.com/Codagent-AI/agent-runner/releases/latest/download/agent-runner_linux_amd64.tar.gz
tar xzf…
