## What it is
Zeroshot is a CLI tool that orchestrates independent executor–verifier agent loops for software changes, so the agent that writes code is not the one that validates it. It works with multiple coding agent providers (Claude, Codex, Gemini) and includes worktree isolation, with a companion native Rust CLI.

## Use cases
- verify code changes with an independent agent before shipping
- run autonomous coding agent loops with executor and verifier separation
- orchestrate multiple AI coding agents on a task
- add a blind verification gate to AI-generated code
- automate software changes end-to-end from the terminal
- isolate agent work in git worktrees for fresh repositories

## When to choose
- you use AI coding agents and want independent verification of their output
- you want a bring-your-own-model orchestration harness for multi-agent coding workflows
- you prefer a CLI-driven, open-source agent loop engine on Linux or macOS

## When to avoid
- you need Windows support today
- you want a single-agent coding assistant rather than executor–verifier orchestration
- you need a GUI or IDE-integrated agent tool
