What is Charlie85270/Dorothy?

Dorothy provides a unified desktop environment for managing parallel AI agents across different projects and codebases. It replaces single-terminal limitations by offering concurrent PTY sessions, a Super Agent orchestrator, and Kanban-style task assignment with automatic delegation.

The application polls sources like GitHub and JIRA to spawn agents on new items, injects context via templates, and supports scheduled cron tasks plus Telegram or Slack remote commands. Skills and plugins extend capabilities for code intelligence, external integrations, and specialized workflows.

It targets developers and teams who need to scale agent usage beyond manual CLI operation, enabling unattended execution, usage tracking, and coordinated multi-agent projects without switching between terminals.
