Two-Plane Architecture β
TTal coordinates. logos thinks. temenos isolates.
Two planes. Everything else follows from that.
Manager Plane β Long-running agents with specialized roles. Researcher, designer, orchestrator. They persist across sessions, have memory, and coordinate via agent-to-agent messaging.
Worker Plane β Short-lived coders and reviewers. One per task, isolated in git worktrees. Multiple workers run in parallel. They implement, review, triage, and merge β then they're done.

How TTAL compares β
TTAL doesn't replace your coding agent β it makes it a team player.
| Capability | TTAL | Paperclip |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-agent coordination | β | β |
| Zero infrastructure (no database) | β | - |
| Bidirectional Telegram | β | - |
| Autonomous PR workflow | β | - |
The closest competitor is Paperclip (12K stars) β multi-runtime support, goal hierarchy, React dashboard. It requires PostgreSQL and a Node.js server. TTAL is a single Go binary with no database. Paperclip models your team as an org chart; TTAL models it as two planes β coordinated through git-native workflows and direct Telegram access.
Competitors build chat assistants or company simulators. TTAL builds autonomous software teams who own the full delivery pipeline.
