Cicada — Multi-Agent Copilot CLI Orchestrator

Repository: https://github.com/lewiswigmore/cicada

What is Cicada?

Cicada is a PowerShell + Python orchestrator that launches a team of specialized GitHub Copilot CLI agents in Windows Terminal. Each agent has a defined role (Coder, Reviewer, Tester, Researcher) and they collaborate through a shared MCP coordination server.

Why it's useful

• Multi-agent collaboration — agents communicate via team messaging and a shared task board
• Role specialization — each agent focuses on what it does best (coding, reviewing, testing, researching)
• Simple setup — single install script, launch with one command
• Built for Copilot CLI — designed specifically around GitHub Copilot CLI's capabilities

Category
