FAQ

## Frequently asked

### What is an agent platform?

Platforms sit above individual agents: multi-agent IDEs that run Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor side by side in Git worktrees, or managed APIs that deploy coding agents across harnesses with sandboxes and credentials.

### Who should use an agent platform?

Power users running many agents in parallel, and product teams that want to embed coding agents without operating the agent loops themselves.

### What are the tradeoffs of agent platforms?

Adds a coordination layer and another vendor. The category is young; the seed does not yet include a verified entry here.

### Which agent platforms are in the catalog?

1 as of 2026-09-25: Cursor Origin (Anysphere).

### What is an agent harness multiplexer?

A workspace or API layer that runs multiple coding-agent harnesses (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode) in parallel — typically with worktree isolation and a shared status view.

### Why are there no platform entries yet?

The first-pass inventory identified candidates but none met the verification bar for the seed. The category is kept in the taxonomy so entries land in the right place when verified.
