    Parallax is a CLI for orchestrating independent AI agent cohorts (Claude, Codex, etc.) over isolated, append-only logs or streams. Each cohort operates on its own log and does not see the intermediate reasoning of others i.e. disagreement is enforced at the infrastructure layer rather than prompted at runtime. Agents write to sequenced, durable logs and a separate moderator agent subscribes to all streams, monitors progress, issues steering instructions when necessary, and synthesizes outputs at the end. That means, coordination is just done over a log with natural language, which allows us…

    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 —…

    Hi HN, We're the engineering team at Peakflo (B2B fintech). We built 20x internally because we kept copy-pasting Linear tickets into Claude, manually setting up branches, and babysitting agent output across terminals. Eventually we just built the infrastructure to connect task systems to agents directly — and decided to open source it. 20x is an open-source desktop app (macOS only — Linux and Windows on the roadmap) that orchestrates AI coding agents against your existing task systems. In practice: a Linear ticket gets pulled in → the triage agent assigns Claude Code + relevant skills → a…

    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…

    Claude Code is amazing for individuals but terrible for teams. I spent the last six months building my perfect mix of MCP servers, subagents, commands and skills. Claude Code writes 100% of the code now, but sharing this with my team? Painful. 1. Blog posts and workshops don't work (and don't scale) 2. Committing tools to N repos means N PRs. A tool changes? N more PRs. 3. Same tools, different files or folders for each AI assistant; not everyone uses Claude Code It is like 1999 all over again; FTPing files up to prod and versioning with ".bak" suffixes. So I built sx. It is your team's…
