Implementation
Each implementation represents an AI agent working on a ticket, with chat, live preview, and code review capabilities.
An implementation is an AI agent working on a ticket. Each ticket can have multiple implementations running in parallel, letting you compare different agents or approaches side by side.
Launching implementations
You can launch implementations in two ways:
When creating a ticket: Select one or more agents from the Select Profiles dropdown before submitting your ticket. The implementations will start automatically.
From an existing ticket: Click the + Launch button in the ticket's Implementations section to add another agent to work on the same task.
How many agents can I run at once? As many as you like! Each implementation gets its own isolated workspace to prevent conflicts. Run multiple agents in parallel to compare approaches or speed up your workflow.
Not seeing an agent you want? Check that you have the required API key or connected plan configured. See Agent credentials for setup details, and Agents for the full list of supported agents.
Usage stats
If you've connected your Claude Pro/Max plan or ChatGPT Pro plan via OAuth, Superconductor displays your rate limit utilization next to the agent name. You'll see two numbers:
- 5h — Percentage of your 5-hour rolling window rate limit consumed
- 7d — Percentage of your 7-day rolling window rate limit consumed
A rolling window means the limit tracks your usage over a continuous period ending at the current moment. For example, the 5-hour window counts all API usage from the last 5 hours — as older usage falls outside the window, your utilization drops.
The numbers are color-coded:
- Green — Under 70% utilization
- Yellow — 70–89% utilization
- Red — 90% or above, approaching the limit
When utilization reaches 70% or higher, you'll also see a countdown showing when the window resets.
If utilization exceeds 100%, your plan's rate limit is fully consumed and implementations will stop until the window resets. Superconductor does not automatically fall back to an API key. You can either wait for the reset or disconnect your plan in account settings and use an API key instead. See Agent credentials for more details.
Usage stats only appear for Claude Code and Codex when using a connected plan (OAuth). They don't appear when using API keys, or for other agents.
The implementation dashboard
Every ticket shows a dashboard of its implementations. Each implementation card displays:
- Agent profile — The agent name and model (e.g., "Claude Code - Opus 4.6")
- Messages — Number of messages in the conversation
- Cost — Total API cost for the implementation
- Run time — How long the agent has been working
- Artifacts — Click to expand and view images and files the agent has shared (see Artifacts for details)
- Status — Current state of the implementation
Implementation statuses
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Running | The agent is actively working on the task |
| Waiting | The agent is waiting for your input before continuing |
| Idle | The agent has not begun running |
| Failed | Something went wrong — please let us know if you see this |
Starring implementations
Click the star icon on any implementation to mark it as a favorite. Starred implementations help you quickly flag your favorite solutions when comparing multiple approaches.
Following implementations
Click the bell icon on any implementation to follow it. When you follow an implementation, you'll stay updated on its progress.
Superconductor automatically follows implementations for you in two cases:
- When you launch an implementation
- When you send a message in an implementation's chat
To unfollow, click the bell icon again.
Customizing implementation display
Within any implementation, use the toggle buttons to show or hide the three main sections: Chat, Preview, and Review.
Creating pull requests
When you're happy with an implementation, click Submit PR to create a pull request on GitHub. Superconductor commits the agent's changes and opens a PR against your base branch.
If the agent makes more changes after you've submitted the PR (for example, after you ask it to fix something in chat), click Update PR to push the new changes. Each update creates a new commit on the existing PR—your review comments and CI status stay intact.
The button shows the current state:
| Button | What it means |
|---|---|
| Submit PR | No PR exists yet. Click to create one. |
| Update PR | The agent has made changes since you last pushed. Click to add a new commit to the existing PR. |
| View PR | The PR is up to date with the agent's latest changes. Click to open it on GitHub. |
The icon on the View PR button changes color to reflect the pull request's status on GitHub:
| Open | Merged |
|---|---|
 |  |
You can also use the dropdown menu to copy the branch name or push the branch to GitHub without creating a PR (useful if you want to open the PR manually).
Multi-repo projects
If your project has multiple repos and the agent makes changes across more than one, Superconductor creates a separate PR for each repo. The button labels update automatically — Submit PRs, Update PRs, and View PRs — and a dropdown lets you view each PR individually by repo name and number.
Next steps
- Chat with your agent to refine the implementation
- Review the diff to see all code changes
- Test with Live Preview to try the changes in a live environment
