Overview
Tessera sits above coding-agent harnesses and coordinates how their sessions map to repositories, branches, review, and delivery. An open-source visual workspace for organizing coding-agent sessions, files, branches, and reviews.
The standout: A Kanban workflow tied directly to agent sessions and worktrees, plus persistent tabs and split panes. The strongest fit: Developers who want a visual, task-oriented workspace rather than a chat-only control surface.
