Refine is not another agent harness — it is the management layer on top of your agents. It turns product feedback into Goals, dispatches agents through planning and implementation, and keeps files, terminals, nodes, processes, evidence, Git, and review close to your local workflow.
Why Refine
Running an agent by hand works for one task. Wrapping agents in loops scales the effort but not the oversight, and desktop orchestrators stop at the edge of one machine. Refine keeps the agents you already use and adds the management layer the rest are missing.

What Refine does
Extend product feedback and app edits to your whole team. Keep planning, features, Goals, chat, and human verification in one workflow so work moves without losing context.
Orchestrate your agent fleet across decentralized repositories, branches, processes, and your node cluster. Connect any MCP client to the always-on local endpoint, and cheap feedback loops keep agent work moving while git keeps everyone in sync.
Keep agent work aligned with your product intent, local rules, and requirements. Review stays grounded before changes merge.
Product Screens
Get Started
curl -fsSL /scripts/install.sh | bash
The installer checks the host, installs or repairs missing tools when approved, starts Refine, and opens the browser UI on your machine.
Follow instructions found at:
/docs/runbooks/install.md
Give this URL to Codex, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Gemini, Copilot, or another coding agent so it can install Refine with explicit checks and report exact blockers.
