Question 1

What is CrewDeck?

Accepted Answer

CrewDeck is an AI-powered development platform that treats AI agents as first-class team members. It combines project management capabilities with autonomous AI execution, allowing you to create tasks, assign AI agents, and ship features with full visibility and control.

Question 2

How is CrewDeck different from Copilot or Cursor?

Accepted Answer

While tools like Copilot and Cursor provide AI-assisted coding, they lack project structure and task management. CrewDeck provides a complete workflow - from task creation to PR review. AI agents work in isolated environments, follow your codebase patterns, and integrate directly with your existing development process.

Question 3

Which AI tools does CrewDeck support?

Accepted Answer

CrewDeck is purpose-built for Claude Code (Anthropic). We deeply integrate with Claude Code to provide the best orchestration experience — from task management to multi-agent workflows.

Question 4

Is my code secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. CrewDeck uses industry-standard security practices including encrypted credentials, isolated worktree environments, and never stores your source code on our servers. Your code stays in your repositories, and AI agents access it only during task execution with your explicit permissions.

Question 5

Can I create custom AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Yes! CrewDeck can automatically discover agent configurations from your codebase (like AGENTS.md files), and you can define custom agents with specific system prompts, tools, and behaviors tailored to your project needs.

Question 6

What is command chaining in CrewDeck?

Accepted Answer

Command chaining allows you to define multi-step automated workflows where the output of one agent task feeds into the next. For example, an agent can build a feature, then another runs tests, then another creates a PR — all triggered from a single task.

Question 7

Does CrewDeck have a local chat assistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CrewDeck includes a Technical Support Chat powered by a local LLM via Ollama. It provides instant help with your codebase, debugging, and project questions — all running locally on your machine for maximum privacy.

Question 8

How does the Agent Marketplace work?

Accepted Answer

The Agent Marketplace offers 26 pre-configured specialized agents across 5 categories: Orchestrators, Development, Quality and Security, Documentation, and Specialized. You can also create unlimited custom agents from your codebase. Agents include community ratings and install counts to help you choose the best fit.

Question 9

How does agent performance tracking work?

Accepted Answer

CrewDeck tracks every agent execution with a composite scoring system: success rate (40%), task efficiency (20%), user ratings (25%), and recency (15%). This creates a 0-100 performance score that powers data-driven agent recommendations.

Question 10

What are Sequential and Swarm execution modes?

Accepted Answer

Sequential mode runs agents one-by-one in a specified order, ideal for predictable pipelines. Swarm mode uses an orchestrator agent to dynamically coordinate subagents in parallel, perfect for complex features that benefit from multiple specialists working simultaneously.

Question 11

What is cross-repository context injection?

Accepted Answer

When executing tasks, CrewDeck automatically copies relevant documentation from related repositories (architecture docs, PROJECTS.md, release notes) into the task worktree, giving AI agents full context about your project ecosystem.
