Feature request: fully integrated local multi-agent coding workflow

I’m a heavy power user doing deep planning plus direct repo/machine execution. The ideal product for me would be:

  • multi-agent local-only execution
  • planner and executor in the same IDE space
  • full workspace and machine context
  • persistent shared context between agents
  • no fragile handoff between browser chat and IDE agent
  • pricing/usage that supports heavy planning phases without request anxiety

Why this matters:
The current split between browser planning and IDE execution creates friction. The highest-value workflow is a single environment where I can discuss architecture, decide implementation, then have local agents inspect, edit, and run code directly on the machine while preserving shared context.

Current best approximation:
VS Code + agentic coding tools is close, but request limits on planning-heavy usage become a real constraint. I would strongly prefer an OpenAI-native solution that combines:

  • high-quality planning/reasoning
  • direct local execution in the repo
  • persistent shared context in one place
  • local-first operation rather than cloud-only execution

Concrete example:
I often do architecture/planning in browser chat, then separately hand off instructions to an IDE agent to implement locally. The missing piece is persistent shared context between planning and execution in one local-first workspace.

This would materially improve professional developer productivity.

Hey @AS_123, Totally get that, it can feel pretty disjointed.

What’s happening is planning and execution still live in separate places, so context can get a bit fragile, especially with multi-agent workflows.

Some folks are working around it by keeping plans in the repo, sticking to one agent loop in the IDE, and cutting down browser :left_right_arrow: IDE switching. Not perfect, but it helps.

This has been coming up a lot, so you’re definitely not alone. I’ll also pass this along through our team’s feature request process so it’s tracked properly.
