MCP server for multi-harness AI agent delegation. Spawn background agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Kimi) that run asynchronously, with optional git worktree isolation for safe parallel work.

## Features

- **Async agent spawning** - Fire-and-forget pattern with spool IDs
- **Optional blocking with gather/yield** - Wait for all results at once, or stream them as agents complete. Alternatively, agent can continue other work, spins are nonblocking by default
- **Permission profiles** - Control what tools child agents can use (readonly, careful, full)
- **Shard isolation** - Run agents in sandboxed git worktrees to prevent conflicts
- **Model selection** - Route tasks to different models per-agent
- **Session continuity** - Resume conversations with child agents (auto-recovers expired sessions)
- **Rich querying** - Search, filter, peek at running output, export results
- **`spindle doctor`** - One command to check the install: versions, paths, spool store, detected harnesses, and an optional live read-only smoke

## Requirements

- Python 3.10+
- At least one harness CLI, installed and already authenticated. Spindle shells
  out to the CLI you already use and inherits its login — it never asks for an
  API key of its own:
  - [Claude CLI](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) (`claude`) — the default harness
  - [Codex CLI](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli/) (`codex`)
  - [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) (`gemini`)
  - [Kimi CLI](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli) (`kimi-cli`)
- Git (for shard/worktree functionality)
- `bwrap` (bubblewrap), on Linux, if you want s…
