Lich - Dev Stack Orchestrator for AI Agents

A local development tool that lets multiple AI coding agents run in parallel with independent copies of your dev stack in separate git worktrees. Solves the problem of agents interfering with each other's work and testing.

The explosion of multi-agent coding workflows — driven by tools like Claude Code, Devin, and OpenHands — has created a real, underserved infrastructure problem: running parallel agents on a single dev environment causes constant state collisions. No clear incumbent owns this specific coordination layer yet, though some teams are stitching together Docker Compose and tmux scripts to approximate it. The $500–3k/mo revenue band is plausible for a prosumer devtool with a per-seat or usage model, but the ceiling is low unless it expands into team or CI/CD territory. The biggest risk is timing: if the major agent platforms (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) bake worktree or sandbox isolation natively into their own products, the standalone tool becomes redundant almost overnight.
