Run OB-1 in Agentastic
OpenBlock Labs' autonomous coding agent, with plan mode and latest-session resume.
What Agentastic adds
Give every task its own worktree, branch, or container.
Keep OB-1's real CLI and your existing configuration.
Inspect the diff, run code review, test, and open a pull request.
Launch OB-1
- 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 OB-1, 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 OB-1 supports
- Launch from a task description: supported
Type the task in Agent Home and Agentastic hands it to ob1 at launch, so the run starts from your prompt instead of an empty session.
- Unattended runs: supported
OB-1 can run without stopping for per-tool confirmation, which is what makes an overnight or scheduled run finish on its own.
- Plan before editing: supported
Start OB-1 in a read-only pass that proposes an approach without touching the working tree, then approve it and let the same session execute.
- Resume a session: supported
Reopen the last OB-1 session for a worktree and keep its history — useful when reviewing the diff turns up one more change.
- Structured chat: not supported
OB-1 runs in its own terminal UI inside Agentastic; it does not expose a protocol Agentastic can render as a structured chat.
- Code review: not supported
OB-1 writes the change; pair it with a review-capable agent for the pass before merge.
Agentastic reads these from OB-1'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.
OB-1 questions
Is there a GUI for OB-1?
Yes. Agentastic runs the real OB-1 CLI (ob1) in a native Mac workspace with a git worktree, terminal, diff view, and code review for each task.
How do I run multiple OB-1 sessions in parallel?
Start each task from Agent Home in worktree mode. Agentastic gives every run its own git worktree and terminal, so several OB-1 sessions can work in one repository without editing the same files.
How do I install OB-1?
Run curl -fsSL https://dashboard.openblocklabs.com/install | bash, then sign in the way OB-1's documentation describes. Agentastic finds the ob1 command on your PATH when you open a repository.
Does Agentastic charge for OB-1?
No. Agentastic is free and does not proxy model calls. It launches OB-1 with the credentials and plan you already use, so any usage is billed by your provider, not by Agentastic.
