Multi-Repo AI Agent Workbench

Let non-IDE coding agents edit and track changes across multiple repositories at once

Problem

Developers working across several repositories find that non-IDE coding agents don't support multi-repo workspaces, forcing constant context switching. A V2EX thread specifically asks how others handle this scenario.

Solution

A lightweight workbench that mounts multiple repos into a single workspace so agents can read and modify all of them together, with a cross-repo change view and commit plan.

Users

Backend developers working across repos, microservice teams outside monorepos, and heavy coding-agent users

MVP

Add multiple local or remote repo paths; unified change view across all repos; apply one prompt to a selected set of repos; generate per-repo commit suggestions

Revenue

Open-source core plus paid hosted sync and team seats, or a one-time desktop license

Why now

Coding agents are moving from IDE built-ins to standalone tools, and multi-repo collaboration is a clear gap that an indie developer can fill quickly.
