The agent office should open the diff

TL;DR: Munder Difflin turns coding-agent work into a visual office. The feature I would judge first is how quickly a busy avatar takes me to the change it wants accepted.

Munder Difflin is a local interface for coordinating coding agents through tools including Claude Code and Codex. Its repository describes task tracking, worktrees, review panels, human gates and cost accounting. The Reddit demo makes the idea approachable through a small animated office.

That could help a technical lead supervising several streams of work. A familiar spatial view gives each task somewhere to live, and makes a stalled worker easier to notice. It also creates an unusually persuasive illusion: movement looks like progress before you know what changed.

I would measure the interface by the review it enables. My proposed test is deliberately small: ask an agent to fix one failing test in a throwaway repository, then return to the office view after it finishes. Try to find the original request, changed files, test result and unresolved concern without opening a second application.

If that takes several clicks through cheerful activity summaries, the office has made supervision more entertaining without making it clearer. If a single action opens the relevant diff and its evidence, the visual metaphor is doing useful work.

Permissions deserve the same treatment. The reviewer should be able to tell what the agent could touch while working and whether an approval remains outstanding. Separate worktrees help organise changes; they do not, on their own, define a security boundary.

I reviewed the repository description and the silent demonstration, not an installed production workload. The documented controls are promising features to test, not proof that every change is safe or that the office improves delivery speed.

A useful agent office makes the unfinished decision easier to find than the moving avatar.
