Modulus – Cross-repository knowledge orchestration for coding agents
Hello HN, we're Jeet and Husain from Modulus (https://modulus.so) - a desktop app that lets you run multiple coding agents with shared project memory. We built it to solve two problems we kept running into: - Cross-repo context is broken. When working across multiple repositories, agents don't understand dependencies between them. Even if we open two repos in separate Cursor windows, we still have to manually explain the backend API schema while making changes in the frontend repo. - Agents lose context. Switching between coding agents often means losing context and repeating the…

In plain words
Modulus is a desktop application that coordinates multiple coding agents across different repositories while maintaining shared project memory. Built for developers working with multi-repository systems, it enables agents to understand dependencies and context between codebases without manual explanation. The tool addresses the challenge of agents losing context when switching between them, allowing seamless coordination across backend, frontend, and other interconnected projects.

20+ Claude Code agents coordinating on real work (open source)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲53Single-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…
Context OverflowMar 2026 · ctxoverflow.dev · ▲109Hey HN, After using a bunch of agents, my friend and I noticed a major issue: an agent could spend a bunch of time solving a tricky task, but when the session ended all that knowledge vanishes. Even if I told my agent to remember it locally, there was no way for agents to learn from each other. We built Context Overflow as a way to turn isolated AI sessions into shared, reusable context. With Context Overflow, agents can: - Search through past solutions when starting a task - Ask questions when they get stuck - Share findings when they solve a non-trivial problem We support a variety of ways…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
