I think like many of you, I've been jumping between many claude code/codex sessions at a time, managing multiple lines of work and worktrees in multiple repos. I wanted a way to easily manage multiple lines of work and reduce the amount of input I need to give, allowing the agents to remove me as a bottleneck from as much of the process as I can. So I built an orchestration tool for AI coding agents: Optio is an open-source orchestration system that turns tickets into merged pull requests using AI coding agents. You point it at your repos, and it handles the full lifecycle: - Intake —…

Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

Cognitorafree▲86Built a multi-agent research system with OpenAI Agents SDK where specialized AI agents collaborate autonomously: Master Orchestrator → Data Analyst → Statistician → Report Writer Each agent has specific expertise. The orchestrator delegates tasks. All agents can execute code securely to solve problems. Example workflow: "Analyze e-commerce data" - Data Analyst: writes Python to load/clean data, spots trends - Statistician: performs significance tests, calculates growth rates - Report Writer: synthesizes findings into executive summary This demonstrates OpenAI Agents SDK's handoff system…

I have spent a long time working in an XP/TDD style, so when AI coding tools became useful enough for real work, I adopted them quickly. The first bottleneck I hit was not code generation, it was verification: AI could write code and tests quickly, but I was still the person reviewing implementations, clicking through flows, checking logs, inspecting database state, and deciding whether the result was actually correct. That pushed me to move validation further left. Before implementation, AI had to produce test plans. After implementation, it had to execute those plans too: drive the…

Hello Folks! Agentic Orchestrator is a terminal tool that takes complex feature requests and builds them by orchestrating coding agents through a series of phases that emulate a full-fledged engineering flow: requirements clarification, research, design, multi-phase planning, implementation, and review. It is a single pane of glass for all your features and exposes post-publish utilities such as resolving merge conflicts and responding to review comments. The key design choice is that this is deterministic orchestration on top of undeterministic agents: things like "human review gates",…

Hi HN. I've been running AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) on real repos for a while now. The dirty secret of "autonomous coding" is that agents stop all the time — quota limits, test failures, policy violations, bad judgement calls. You end up babysitting them. So I asked a different question: what if the system was designed around the assumption that agents WILL fail, and the job of the infrastructure is to never let that failure become a dead end? openTiger is a "non-human-first" orchestration system that runs multiple AI agents in parallel — planner, workers, testers, judge —…
