## Introduction to AI Coding Agents

Software developers are increasing efficiency by using AI agents in coding processes. These agents assist in tasks such as writing code and fixing bugs.

## Problems and Solutions

When running AI agents in parallel, issues such as agents overwriting each other's code and difficulty in tracking which agent is active arise.

## Shikigami's Solution

Shikigami solves these problems by running each AI agent in a separate Git worktree. This allows agents to work in parallel without interfering with each other's code.

## Additional Features

Shikigami offers features like Monaco editor, diff viewer, git history, and per-line blame. It also provides language support for PHP and TypeScript/JavaScript.

## Integrations

Shikigami provides additional conveniences with Docker, MySQL, and Redis integrations. These integrations include service tree, logs, and database queries.

## Future Plans

Shikigami is currently in beta and offered for free. Future plans include adding paid add-ons or options to support the project.
