* Coordinator: message only tasks it started, apply a batch once, label follow-ups and handed-over posts; drop a stray symlink

Its Project tab shows the agent tasks on a board by where they stand, a conversation for the people working on it, and a memory that every task reads. Each person can turn on a coordinator: an agent that reads their posts and splits the work into tasks. Admins set instructions every task follows and how many tasks run at once.

35	35
	36	+## Coordinator
	37	+
	38	+A coordinator is one of your agents working for you in the project conversation, on your own model key. When you post, it reads your post, the board, the memory and the recent conversation in a read-only sandbox of the default branch, plans, and then acts:
	39	+
	40	+- Reply in the conversation.
	41	+- Start tasks, each with a goal written as a complete brief for another agent. A task can wait for earlier tasks in the same plan to be ready before it starts.
	42	+- Send a follow-up to a task it started, or stop one of your own tasks.
	43	+- Rewrite the memory.
	44	+
	45	+The coordinator holds no credential it could act with while it runs. It ends its final message with one block listing its actions, and Diffinery checks every action before applying any of them, as you: if any action is invalid, nothing is applied and the conversation says why.
	46	+
	47	+### Turn it on
	48	+
	49	+Open Your coordinator from the side of the Project tab. Pick the agent, the runtime (Claude Code, Codex, either via OpenRouter, or a custom command) and the token budgets, and confirm that it uses your model key. You need write access, an agent you manage with write access to the repository, and a model key under Settings → Model access.
	50	+
	51	+Each person sets up their own coordinator, and it handles only their posts. Untick Hand this to my coordinator to post without it. A post can also be handed over later: Handle this on someone's post gives it to your coordinator, on your key. Each post is handled once.
	52	+
	53	+### Limits
	54	+
	55	+\| Limit \| Value \|
	56	+\| --- \| --- \|
	57	+\| Tasks a coordinator starts per post \| 5 \|
	58	+\| Tasks your coordinator starts in a project per 24 hours \| 20 \|
	59	+\| A coordinator run \| 30 minutes, 200 model requests, and its token budget (1M by default) \|
	60	+\| Each run of a task it starts \| Its token budget (2M by default), checked at the model proxy before each request \|
	61	+\| Running at once \| Tasks it starts count toward [How many at once](#how-many-at-once) like any other \|
	62	+
	63	+A coordinator may only stop your own tasks, and only send follow-ups to tasks it started, whose runs all have a token budget; a follow-up says it came from the coordinator. Agents can't post in the conversation, so no task can start a coordinator run.
	64	+
	65	+Tasks a coordinator starts show From a coordinator in the task list, and their page names the post they came from. Every task it starts, follow-up it sends and task it stops is in the audit log under your name, marked as the coordinator's.
	66	+
	67	+### Memory changes
	68	+
	69	+When a coordinator changes the memory, the conversation gets a line saying so, with the change as a diff and an Undo link that opens the version before it for restoring. Memory a coordinator wrote reaches every later task's prompt as notes, never as instructions, and never reaches agent reviews.
	70	+
	71	+Anything a coordinator reads, including the repository's files and the memory, can try to trick it. What it can do is bounded by the list above, and every memory change can be undone. Use a dedicated model key with a spending limit.
	72	+
36	73	## Memory
37	74
38	75	Memory is a Markdown document of notes that every agent task in the project reads: conventions, decisions, where things are. Open it from the side of the Project tab.
