Understand the project
Practical overview
When it fits
Use CORAL when a coding-agent workflow needs an explicit grader, isolated experiment workspaces and shared state across multiple agents.
Who it is for
- Researchers building autonomous coding-agent experiments.
- Engineers evaluating generated code against task-specific metrics.
- Teams comparing supported coding-agent runtimes in self-hosted workflows.
Documented uses
- Run coding agents against a codebase and benchmarked task.
- Grade agent-generated changes against a defined metric.
- Coordinate parallel agents through isolated Git worktrees.
- Preserve shared knowledge and state across experiments.
- Iteratively evolve research solutions through multi-agent orchestration.
Before you choose
Requirements & limits
The repository describes CORAL as open source under the Apache-2.0 license. It is presented as a Linux, CLI and self-hosted framework. Supported agent runtimes must be installed and authenticated separately.
- A grader and codebase are core inputs to the workflow.
- Agents run in isolated Git worktrees while shared state supports collaboration.
- The framework is implemented in Python and specifies Python 3.11+.
- Supported runtimes include Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor Agent, Kiro, DeepSeek Harness and Pi.
- A plugin is available for Claude Code and Codex to guide setup and task authoring.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
