What is jcode?
jcode is a high-performance coding agent harness written in Rust, designed to run dozens of agents in parallel with low memory use and no lag. Its README publishes memory and latency benchmarks against other agents.
When you spawn two or more agents in the same repo, its server manages them for native collaboration: if one agent edits a file another has read, the second is notified and can check the diff for conflicts.
