Tandem vs Augment Code Intent (Auggie)
Spec-driven multi-agent orchestration desktop app (macOS, public beta): a Coordinator agent turns a living spec into tasks and fans them to parallel specialist agents in isolated git worktrees, a Verifier checks results against the spec, all backed by Augment's 500k-file context engine, with prompt-to-PR git flow and BYOA (Claude Code/Codex/OpenCode).
