Multi-Agent Workbench is a local-first browser control room for orchestrating coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, and generic PTY-based command-line agents. Agents work in task rooms under editable YAML role cards that define permissions, speaking style, and decision boundaries; a rule-driven orchestrator pauses execution and risky commands for human approval, while persistent sessions expose terminal activity and status. The system uses a local event-driven architecture with a React interface, Fastify backend, REST API, server-sent events, agent adapters, an approval service, and a SQLite event store. Every action passes through the API and is recorded in an append-only event log, whose events are projected into timelines, decisions, terminal views, artifacts, and diff views. It also provides task templates, Markdown reports and decision logs, real-time room updates, and configurable risk resolutions. Code-writing agents are intended to use isolated Git worktrees, with diff and patch review before changes reach the main workspace; the repository marks this worktree and merge flow as in progress.

Agent Office is a self-hosted 3D workspace for coordinating coding agents across GitHub repositories. It creates a floor for each project, places Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other supported agent workers at desks, streams their terminals, and lets users assign issues, queue tasks, provide Git worktrees, inspect changes and open pull requests. Workers can also list, hire, message and dismiss other workers through the agent-office MCP server or command-line interface. The office includes shared chat, voice, screen sharing and a whiteboard, plus a 2D /lite interface for phones and slower computers. It runs locally or can be deployed to AWS, Azure, Railway, Fly.io, Dokploy or an Ubuntu/Debian server, with multi-user accounts and per-user Claude and GitHub sign-ins. The repository describes it as work in progress, subject to breaking changes, and distributes it under the MIT license.

Munder Difflin is a free, open-source desktop multi-agent harness that runs multiple terminal-based AI coding agents as coordinated local agents. It wraps agents including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot CLI, and custom commands, working with users' existing subscriptions and hourly usage limits. Each agent runs as a real node-pty process and is rendered through xterm.js, while an Electron and React interface displays sessions as avatars on a Pixi.js office floor. A GOD orchestrator called Michael assigns and routes work, adjudicates agent messages, and escalates spending, destructive operations, scope changes, and other configured approvals. Agents coordinate through a local Git-backed hive of plain-file memory, atomic mailboxes, a shared blackboard, and an append-only event log; a markdown-first semantic memory layer supports recall across sessions. Optional Git worktrees isolate parallel agents.

Codewhale is an open-source coding agent for the terminal, built in Rust and independently maintained. It reads repositories, edits files, runs commands, inspects results, and works toward user-defined goals. It connects to hosted providers or local models through Ollama, vLLM, or SGLang, supports switching providers and models during a session, and can run interactively in a terminal UI or non-interactively with the `exec` command. Its control mechanisms include read-only planning, Ask, Auto-Review, and Full Access approval modes; `/undo` reverts the last turn and `/restore` returns the workspace to an earlier snapshot. It also supports saved sessions, durable goals, reviewable workflows, agent coordination, MCP servers, skills, hooks, and configurable agent roles. The project runs on the user's machine with the access granted to it, with optional operating-system sandboxing where supported, and is distributed under the MIT license.

Agent Deck is an open-source terminal dashboard for running and monitoring multiple AI coding agents in parallel. It displays each session’s status, active tool, working directory, and last prompt in real time, with Vim-style keyboard navigation for creating, focusing, closing, and renaming panes. It supports Claude Code and OpenCode through automatically installed hooks and runs as the single-binary `dot-agent-deck`, with native embedded terminal panes and no external terminal multiplexer required. The dashboard runs inside terminals including Ghostty, iTerm2, Alacritty, Kitty, and WezTerm, while preserving the agent clients’ existing shortcuts, skills, and configurations. Per-project TOML configuration can pair an agent with side panes for test runs, log tails, or `kubectl` watches. macOS and Linux installation is available through Homebrew, Nix, prebuilt binaries, or source builds; Windows use is currently through WSL. The project is distributed under the MIT license.
