How do you pronounce Leadcode?
Leed-code — lead as in to lead a team, not the metal.
One word, stress on the first syllable. In running text it is written Leadcode; the wordmark is written Lead>code.
Why Leadcode
You lead.
Agents code.
The name is the thesis. Once agents write the code, the scarce skill is no longer typing it — it is deciding what should be built, in what order, and what "done" means. That is a tech lead's job, and now it is yours.
01The namelead · code
Why is it called Leadcode?
Because the job changed. With AI agents writing the code, you are now their tech lead, so planning and critical thinking are the most important work you do — and the better you plan, the better the results. Leadcode is named for that job: you lead, the agents code.
An agent given a vague request produces a confident, plausible, wrong result, quickly. An agent given a clear plan — the problem, the scope, what is out of scope, how it will be checked — produces something you can merge. The leverage moved from your hands to your judgment, and the tool should be built around that.

· hold the whole change in your head
· write it line by line
· switch accounts by hand between clients
· review your own work, tired

Most of the day is judgment
· decide what is worth building
· write the plan agents will follow
· question the weakest assumption first
· hold the gates: merge, deploy, spend

03The wordmarkLead>code
Why is there a > in the Leadcode wordmark?
The wordmark is written Lead>code and reads like a terminal prompt: lead first, then code. The > is the handoff — your plan goes in on the left and code comes out on the right.
It is the same shape as the shell prompt every agent session starts from, and the same direction as a redirect: intent flows one way. The order matters too. Lead comes first — nothing on the right side should exist without the left.
the handoff
lead > code
lead — the plan: problem, scope, non-goals, how it is checked
> — the handoff to agents
code — issues, branches, pull requests, waiting at your gate
04The markMoon-C
What does the Leadcode logo mean?
The mark is a crescent moon turned into a C, with a small block cursor waiting in its opening. The crescent stands for moonlighting — holding many jobs, and for Leadcode's users, many clients — and the cursor is the terminal waiting for your next instruction.
Moonlighting is the honest shape of a lot of modern engineering work: a client in the morning, another in the afternoon, your own project at night. Leadcode exists so those jobs never share an account. The C closes the loop to code; the orange cursor is the only color in the mark, because the next instruction is always yours.

05The product
What does leading look like in Leadcode?
Three things: every mission runs on its own accounts, so you never have to check who an agent is acting as; mission control shows which missions need you; and AI pods turn a plan into issues and pull requests while you hold the gates.

What is Leadcode?
Leadcode is mission control for AI coding agents on macOS. Every mission runs on its own Claude, GitHub and cloud accounts, sealed from every other mission, and pods of agents carry an idea to a shipped spec while you hold the gates.
