Run Amp in Agentastic
Sourcegraph's agentic coding tool, with stdin prompt delivery and direct access to the latest thread.
What Agentastic adds
Give every task its own worktree, branch, or container.
Keep Amp's real CLI and your existing configuration.
Inspect the diff, run code review, test, and open a pull request.
Launch Amp
- Install the official CLI and sign in with your existing provider account.
- Open a repository in Agentastic. The connection is discovered from your PATH.
- Open Agent Home, choose Amp, describe the task, and select worktree, local, container, cloud, or remote mode.
Every run gets its own git worktree, so three tasks can share a repository without sharing a branch or a build directory.
What Amp supports
- Launch from a task description: supported
Type the task in Agent Home and Agentastic hands it to amp at launch, so the run starts from your prompt instead of an empty session.
- Unattended runs: supported
Amp can run without stopping for per-tool confirmation, which is what makes an overnight or scheduled run finish on its own.
- Plan before editing: not supported
Agentastic keeps plan mode out of the picker for Amp rather than emulating it, so runs begin with edits.
- Resume a session: supported
Reopen the last Amp session for a worktree and keep its history — useful when reviewing the diff turns up one more change.
- Structured chat: supported
Talk to Amp in a native chat that renders thinking, nested tool calls, plans, and permission requests as structured events instead of scraped terminal output.
- Code review: not supported
Amp writes the change; pair it with a review-capable agent for the pass before merge.
Agentastic reads these from Amp's own CLI rather than emulating them, and modes it does not support stay out of the picker. The provider reference lists the exact flags for each launch, and how to compare coding agents covers what changes when you switch harnesses.
Amp questions
Is there a GUI for Amp?
Yes. Agentastic runs the real Amp CLI (amp) in a native Mac workspace with a git worktree, terminal, diff view, and code review for each task, plus a structured chat view of the session.
How do I run multiple Amp sessions in parallel?
Start each task from Agent Home in worktree mode. Agentastic gives every run its own git worktree and terminal, so several Amp sessions can work in one repository without editing the same files.
How do I install Amp?
Run npm install -g @ampcode/cli@latest, then sign in the way Amp's documentation describes. Agentastic finds the amp command on your PATH when you open a repository.
Does Agentastic charge for Amp?
No. Agentastic is free and does not proxy model calls. It launches Amp with the credentials and plan you already use, so any usage is billed by your provider, not by Agentastic.
