Show HN: OpenRig – a control plane for multi-agent coding topologies

Thanks! It doesn't use A2A but that might be a good roadmap item, there's a ton of overlap with it. OpenRig already has a lot of A2A like wiring built-in but simpler and intentionally stripped down to keep things inspectable by a single human operator trying to manage a fleet of agents. It just uses TMUX for agent-to-agent messaging- super simple but effective. For tasks, handoffs, etc there is a custom event stream and queue system.

Got it! But what do you think about isolation of agents? If you use tmux, each agent has the same network, filesystem and etc

Yeah so right now OpenRig isn't trying to solve that problem yet, but thats a very interesting direction to take it someday. It currently assumes you the operator are running coding agents on a host you control, like your mac or a VPS, and you actually want all the agents to have access to the same network and file system, so they can work together without friction. It basically takes the core single-user UX of CLI coding agents like claude code and asks the question "what if i could scale this up and run 10, 50, 100 of these things in parallel." OpenRig is the result of the last 9 months of exploring that branch of the AI tree very heavily.
