Plan with td

Give agents structured work so they can operate autonomously for longer. Tasks persist across context windows, keeping agents on track with clear objectives. Built-in review workflow lets you verify work before moving to the next task.

See what the agent changed

git

Split-pane diffs, commit context, fast staging—all without bouncing to an IDE.

Browse and preview files

Navigate your codebase with a tree view, preview file contents, and jump to any file instantly.

One timeline, all agents

conversations

All your agents in one timeline—Claude, Cursor, Gemini, and more. Search across sessions, pick up where any agent left off.

Zero-command workspace workflow

workspaces

Create workspaces, pass tasks from td, kick off with configured prompts—no git commands needed. Everything is automatic.

The Workflow

1. Plan

Create tasks in td to give agents clear objectives and context.

2. Act

Your agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.) reads the task and writes code.

3. Monitor

Watch the agent's progress, diffs, and logs in Sidecar's TUI.

4. Review

Verify the changes, commit, and mark the task as done.
