It’s agent-agnostic, creates isolated worktrees by default, and has a rich CLI for the agent to interact with to manipulate state and perform actions in the TUI. I started building Craig when I got a job offer at a shop that was using Cursor. I was previously using Claude Code with Conductor and really enjoyed this type of experience.

Hi HN.

I gave Opus one task: look at the video and create a simulation like that using three.js, matching the video as closely as possible. I'd thought that Opus would one- or two-shotted this since in my mind it was just estimating height and distances and working backwards to compute the thrusts.

I wanted to give my humble voice AI a face. The only way to do that was to use Tavus or Lemonslice and pay a large amount of money per minute of usage. I wanted some cheaper option that I can run locally, attach to my existing voice agent and get a talking face, so I built this. Just select an image and you can create a realtime talking avatar with lipsynced video generated on your own GPU. While it is still in very early stage, but the results look very promising.
