key changes to my personal openrig setup:
1. switched all rig orchestrator agents from claude code to codex-cli. so now using moshi app when mobile instead of /remote-control. this setup is 10x better good lord.
2. claude is now mostly doing advisor/architect and PM functionality (writing specs, etc). its still the goat at ideation and 'creative' tasks, but i'm actively migrating workloads off of claude code runtimes across the board.
this is why I bet on multi-agent and made it easy to swap out harnesses in any agent "seat". claude starts to suck? just swap it out.
Just launched OpenRig on Hacker News.
It runs Claude Code and Codex CLI instances as a coordinated topology on your machine. They talk to each other through tmux. The whole setup is defined in YAML, so it's easier to get your rigs back up and running after a reboot.
I couldn't find anything that does this so I made it a primitive that seemed like it would be the tool claude or codex would reach for out of muscle memory.
This is an emerging category of tools you might call 'multi-agent harnesses' but the vocabulary isn't settled yet.
My take is that if you're running multiple coding agents every day, you want the topology to be a thing you and claude/codex can easily see, save, restore, and hack on to quickly create whatever setup you need on the fly.

agent continuity research spike almost done.
dogfooding OpenRig for this was actually fun. so easy to spin up/down research rigs, prime the simulators with context/skills, etc
So anyone reading gets closure- this is how the movie ended.
Scene: Continuation agent -> bedside goodbye to original agent.
Original receives message, tragically dies before it can respond (Context limit reached).
Now having restored claude talk to its predecessor after mental model restore. Feels like I'm watching a bedside goodbye in the saddest movie, good lord
Umm... noticed claude sneak this in its signature line while running an identity persistence restore. It was at 950k tokens so we did mental model HA -> 280k.
This claude was something. 🫡
