Background coding agent

What is Background coding agent?

A background coding agent works asynchronously on a task while you do something else, then surfaces the result — typically a pull request — when it's done.

Instead of watching every step, you hand off a task and come back to a finished change. Background agents are what make it practical to run several pieces of work at once.

Korden's crew runs missions in the background on isolated worktrees and opens a pull request when each is ready — you review and merge on your schedule.
