erk
erk is a CLI tool for plan-oriented agentic engineering: create implementation plans with AI, save them to GitHub, execute them in isolated worktrees, and ship code via automated PR workflows.
Read the Documentation for complete guides, tutorials, and reference. (source)
For the philosophy and design principles behind erk, see The TAO of erk.
Quick Start
# Install prerequisites: python 3.10+, claude, uv, gt, gh
