Locus

CLI that ships code via sandboxed AI agents

Locus launched on January 19, 2026 with 1 votes.

What it does

Locus is the first CLI that orchestrates AI coding agents across both Claude and Codex with Docker sandboxing built in. Unlike provider-specific CLIs or hosted platforms, Locus delivers the full loop: plan → execute → review → iterate → ship. GitHub is the backend — issues are tasks, PRs are deliverables, no infrastructure needed. Every agent runs sandboxed in Docker. Switch models with one config change. Parallel execution via worktrees. Free, open source, fully local.

Run AI agents in isolated Docker sandboxes. One CLI across Claude and Codex with unified context, GitHub-native workflows, and full execution isolation.

One CLI across Claude and Codex with full execution isolation, unified context, and GitHub-native workflows. Requires Node.js 18+, GitHub CLI , Docker Desktop 4.58+ for sandboxing, and installation docs . AI agents with filesystem access need boundaries. Locus runs Claude and Codex in the same Docker-backed isolation layer, so your team gets safe, reproducible execution without sacrificing speed. Every AI agent runs inside its own Docker container. Your host filesystem, credentials, and system stay untouched — even during autonomous execution. Same sandbox configuration across all team members and CI. No more "works on my machine" for AI-assisted development. Code changes sync seamlessly…from locusai.dev

  • Skill that lets Claude Code/Codex spin up VMs and GPUsFeb 2026 · cloudrouter.dev · ▲138

    I've been working on CloudRouter, a skill + CLI that gives coding agents like Claude Code and Codex the ability to start cloud VMs and GPUs. When an agent writes code, it usually needs to start a dev server, run tests, open a browser to verify its work. Today that all happens on your local machine. This works fine for a single task, but the agent is sharing your computer: your ports, RAM, screen. If you run multiple agents in parallel, it gets a bit chaotic. Docker helps with isolation, but it still uses your machine's resources, and doesn't give the agent a browser, a desktop, or a GPU to…

    I kept running into a structural problem with AI coding tools. You try one agent. It makes changes. You try another. Now you're manually diffing branches and cleaning up experimental commits. The tools are powerful, but the workflow isn’t designed for comparison. So I built Parallel Code. It runs Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI natively (no API wrapper, no feature abstraction), but isolates each agent in: its own terminal its own Git worktree its own feature branch The workflow becomes: Spawn N worktrees Assign one AI agent per worktree Let them implement independently Compare diffs Merge…

    Clink – Bring your own CLI Agents, Ship instantly2025 · clink.new · ▲22

    Clink lets you use the coding agents you already pay for (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Z.ai GLM) to build → live-preview → ship apps in an isolated container. No token purchases, no extra cost for coding. Just link your existing Claude/OpenAI/Gemini account and start building and deploying instantly. Why we built this: Claude Code is our go-to for coding, but it lacked preview + deploy capabilities. We didn't want to pay Lovable again just for that. Different agents excel at different tasks - Claude Code for versatility, Codex for complex work, GLM for speed. We needed one…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
