Whiteboard

Multi-Agent Workbench is a local-first browser control room for orchestrating coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, and generic PTY-based command-line agents. Agents work in task rooms under editable YAML role cards that define permissions, speaking style, and decision boundaries; a rule-driven orchestrator pauses execution and risky commands for human approval, while persistent sessions expose terminal activity and status. The system uses a local event-driven architecture with a React interface, Fastify backend, REST API, server-sent events, agent adapters, an approval service, and a SQLite event store. Every action passes through the API and is recorded in an append-only event log, whose events are projected into timelines, decisions, terminal views, artifacts, and diff views. It also provides task templates, Markdown reports and decision logs, real-time room updates, and configurable risk resolutions. Code-writing agents are intended to use isolated Git worktrees, with diff and patch review before changes reach the main workspace; the repository marks this worktree and merge flow as in progress.

Whiteboard Animator is a CPU-only Python package and command-line tool that converts a finished whiteboard-style image into a hand-drawn reveal video. It can write detected text word by word, trace outlines, fill shapes with brush strokes, and decompose branched line art into sequential pen paths; narration audio can pace the drawing, and multiple scenes can be concatenated into one MP4. It is the render engine behind the Whiteboard format at Kinoslide. The engine identifies connected non-white pixel components and uses a bundled CRAFT text detector to distinguish text from drawn shapes. It orders components using relationships such as containers before contents, shapes before labels, reading order for text, and attachment of small dots to glyphs. It assigns reveal times based on component area or a region plan, then follows skeletons and outlines with reveal fronts, brush strokes, or sequential paths before streaming frames to FFmpeg. Rendering requires no GPU, API key, training, or model beyond the bundled text detector; an optional Gemini-based region-detection feature requires a Gemini extra and GOOGLE_API_KEY. The package provides the `whiteboard-animate` CLI and a Python API, requires Python 3.10 or later plus FFmpeg and ffprobe, and is distributed under the MIT license. It is intended for clean marker-style drawings on white backgrounds rather than photos, gradients, or textured backgrounds.

Excalidraw is an open-source virtual whiteboard for creating hand-drawn-style diagrams, wireframes, and other canvas-based drawings. It provides tools for shapes, arrows, lines, freehand drawing, image insertion, labeled and bound arrows, zooming, panning, undo and redo, dark mode, shape libraries, localization, and export to PNG, SVG, clipboard, or its open JSON format. The editor is available as an npm package for integration into applications. The hosted Excalidraw.com app adds real-time collaboration, end-to-end encryption, browser autosave with local-first behavior, offline PWA support, and shareable read-only links. The videos describe using Excalidraw to visualize Mermaid-generated diagrams and to manually map multi-step AI workflows with jobs, arrows, parallel lanes, checks, and human approvals.

Mr. Mak Workspace is a local Windows desktop workspace for Codex CLI and Claude Code CLI. It combines real CLI chats with a project workspace for folders, research, images, files, Markdown documents, project reports, and saved project materials. The application provides chat history and tabs, agent activity indicators, file and folder insertion, project cards, previews for media files, and a right rail for project skills, knowledge, workflows, MCP connections, settings, and help. The repository includes fourteen project skills covering areas such as planning, handoffs, image references, media generation, Three.js, Blender, video inspection, and dictation. It can also provide an optional voice coordinator using Codex CLI and an OpenAI API key; external providers and MCP connections are optional and use the user's own accounts. The Windows installer includes the local Node service but does not bundle the supported CLIs or provider accounts. The native application targets Windows x64, while browser report previews can run elsewhere. Application code and original workflow documentation are MIT-licensed, with third-party skill materials retaining their original licenses.

Waku is a native desktop app for working with local coding agents. Built in Rust with GPUI, it keeps projects, sessions, transcripts, and application state on the user's machine, while detecting supported agent CLIs and using each provider's native structured protocol and session continuity. Its interface supports independent project sessions, model and reasoning settings, queued or directed follow-up messages, and Git-backed task rewind with conversation-aware checkpoints. The desktop app communicates with a standalone waku-daemon over an authenticated, versioned WebSocket protocol. The daemon manages task data in SQLite, attachments, provider-native session forks, workspace files, and Git operations; a browser client uses the same generated protocol. Waku is distributed for macOS, Linux, and Windows, with no Waku account or remote service required.
