Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

Lich is a CLI tool that orchestrates per-worktree development stacks, allowing multiple isolated instances of a dev environment (e.g., Docker containers, processes) to run in parallel without port conflicts. It's interesting because it solves a real pain point for developers using coding agents or multi-branch workflows, combining container orchestration with worktree-scoped isolation and agent skills for seamless integration.

Target audience: backend devs
