# Bernstein
> Forward-deployed engineering, with a coding swarm that fits in your `.sdd/`. Open-source multi-agent orchestration system for AI coding agents. Decomposes goals into parallel tasks, routes to optimal models, verifies via quality gates, merges results. 37 agent adapters, pluggable cloud sandboxes, cloud artifact sinks, progressive skill packs, Cloudflare cloud execution, deterministic Python scheduling. Apache 2.0. Built by Alex Chernysh.
## Forward-deployed engineering use case
Forward-deployed engineering, on a swarm. Drop Bernstein into a client repo and you get a multi-agent crew with file-based state, per-agent credential scoping, and an HMAC-signed audit trail - running on whichever CLI agents the client already trusts.
