FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Is Proliferate local or cloud?
Both. You can run local workspaces on your machine and cloud workspaces away from your laptop.
When should I use Cowork instead of a workspace?
Use Cowork when you want to start from a thread, create an artifact, ask a question, or shape a plan before choosing a repository. Use a workspace when the output should become a branch, diff, test run, or pull request.
Which agents can Proliferate run?
Proliferate is built around harness-native execution. The available agents depend on what is installed and authenticated in the environment, but the product is designed to supervise agents such as Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Cursor CLI.
What is a workspace?
A workspace is an isolated work surface for a repository. It can be a local checkout, a new worktree, or a cloud workspace.
Are worktrees a security boundary?
No. Worktrees isolate workflow and branch state. Cloud environments isolate execution away from your laptop.
