Achieve Frontier AI performance in your CLI — by fusing the model CLIs you already run. Fan one prompt across a panel of 1-8 of your local CLIs in parallel, have a judge model you pick read every answer into a structured analysis, then a synthesizer you pick write one grounded answer that does not majority-vote. On a 100-task benchmark, every fusion panel outscored its individual member models. It runs on Maestro's discipline layer: verified done-claims, surgical scope, and a research-backed multi-agent gate.

Install — run the command block for your tool, inside that tool.
Claude Code and Codex use native plugins. Cursor, Gemini, Cline,
Windsurf, and other CLIs use the portable installer, which copies
Maestro's runtime-agnostic files into the current project/workspace by
default. Global/user installs are optional when you intentionally want
cross-project behavior.
Claude Code / Desktop — native plugin (enforcement hooks, /maestro:* commands, skills, status line, Frontier auto-run):
/plugin marketplace add mbanderas/maestro
/plugin install maestro@maestro
Codex CLI / Desktop — native Codex plugin via the Maestro repo
marketplace (skills, trusted hooks, and Frontier auto-run after you review
and trust the hooks):
codex plugin marketplace add mbanderas/maestro
codex plugin add maestro@maestro
Start a new Codex thread after installing or changing plugin trust so the
bundled skills and hooks reload.
Portable installs for other CLI / Desktop apps — run the matching line
in that tool's terminal, or ask its agent to run it. These integrations are
prompt/skill/workflow shortcuts around the portable CLI unless the tool has
native hook support.
| Tool | Install (run inside the tool) |
|---|
| Cursor | npx github:mbanderas/maestro install --target cursor |
| Gemini CLI | npx github:mbanderas/maestro install --target gemini |
| Cline | npx github:mbanderas/maestro install --target cline |
| Windsurf / Devin | npx github:mbanderas/maestro install --target windsurf |
| Not sure / auto-detect | npx github:mbanderas/maestro install --target auto |
Portable installs lay down AGENTS.md plus that tool's adapter or
integration file, docs/orchestration.md, the zero-dependency Frontier
engine, and the relevant command/skill files. Codex does not need that copy
path for normal use: the repo is its marketplace
(.agents/plugins/marketplace.json) and plugin
(.codex-plugin/plugin.json), bundling the Codex skills, hooks, Frontier
engine, settings CLI, commands, and docs/codex.md. The older
maestro install --target codex path remains a manual fallback when you
intentionally want project files instead of the plugin. Once published, swap
github:mbanderas/maestro for @maestrofrontier/frontier for portable npm
installs.
