If you're more of a SWE than a data scientist, check out Mjolnir: https://github.com/BrokkAi/mjolnir/

Built in containerization and EC2 support, allows moving sessions across harnesses/profiles/machines

Goodness - triggers my ADHD. Power to those who find it useful, I would be so lost in the wrong details (the quota screen is pretty cool).

I sometimes use 5 agents at once, but 3 work on separate tasks and the 4th is watching them by tmux and steering, and the fifth is also watching the whole team for testing quality standards. So 2 out of five are just helping me watch the other 3.

But this only works because the 3 worker agents have really separate problems, almost no connections across.

I feel you! And the watch agent sounds like a good approach

When all you have is a drawer-full of hammers, get yourself a mythical hammer. Clever name.

It's a 2 day old project. https://github.com/ZhengyiLuo/AgentsDock

visarga•about 18 hours ago

That is "from last year" in human time.

ZihuiGeorgia•about 18 hours ago

That is new repo for open source, we've actually worked on it for a while

kristopolous•about 17 hours ago

Noted. For the rest of the internet, I was wrong. Here is the evidence. https://github.com/ZhengyiLuo/AgentsDock-Releases/releases

Created a new repo to open-source since the old one has too many commits and some uncessary histories haha

I dont care about codex,cc harness. but I do miss a proper terminal in pi web; I will likely endup forking it... the lamma cpp built-in web app is super nice, but also needs to be hacked to support api providers, and also no terminal :/ .

I think the definitive solution way would be using vscode stripped for web (what gh codespaces use) and add pi to it.

IDEs are today's JS frameworks

Isn’t this just paseo.sh with less features and tightly-coupled tailscale?

antoniojtorres•about 23 hours ago

Looks useful! curious how you would compare it against something like Paseo?

zhengyiluo•about 17 hours ago

Tried it out, missing a few important features we need : ). Paseo is great though

victorbjorklund•about 17 hours ago

What features I paseo missing that you have?

BrandiATMuhkuh•about 23 hours ago

Looking at the screenshots, this looks close to what an agent factory for teams could look. Agents on multiple servers, people can see each conversation. Test it…

ZihuiGeorgia•about 23 hours ago

Let me know how it goes!

shepardrtc•about 11 hours ago

When you move the app to the trash, it leaves the server you have to install. It's still running and set to restart automatically.

an ide built around agents instead of files is the direction i keep expecting to win. how do you handle state when several agents touch the same repo at once

tobyhinloopen•about 17 hours ago

Worktrees or sandboxes. You can tell Claude to put its stuff in a worktree. I can easily develop any amount of features in the same codebase because they all run in their own worktree

ZihuiGeorgia•about 17 hours ago

Yeah, and we don't limit how you do it — each chat gets its own tmux session, so it is up to you on how to handle it

I went from IDE (VS Code) to terminal (wezterm) running half a dozen agents in an app called Herdr. My computer work is mostly in the terminal now, prompting agents. And they have access to my Obsidian vaults. Can read, and add to them. And access all my notes via a local RAG. I neither need projects in Claude, nor IDEs. Just agents accessing my local vaults and code repos.

ZihuiGeorgia•about 17 hours ago

Yes, we need agent-oriented IDE not the old VS code style!

esafak•about 21 hours ago

I suggest putting the tests in a separate folder ;)

ZihuiGeorgia•about 18 hours ago

hhh you spotted my messy folders ;)

anyu1•about 23 hours ago

looks interesting! Trying it out. Thanks

vivzkestrel•about 21 hours ago

- arent there 10000 projects that do this

- what makes this one special?

zhengyiluo•about 17 hours ago

Geared toward for AI research so it is has a lot of nice-to-have features.
