Open-Sourced Control Room Unifies 13 Coding Agents with Merge Gates
AccomplishedLab3697 · reddit · 2026-08-02
A developer open-sourced o8, an MIT-licensed control room designed to manage the chaos of running multiple coding agents simultaneously.
- Unified Orchestration: Supports 13 tools including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Aider behind a single adapter contract.
- Merge Gate: Workers run in isolated git worktrees with rebasing, typechecking, and head-SHA locking; enforces separation of execution and approval.
- Engineering Brain & Memory: Query your repo or fleet history with citations, turning repeated fixes into proposed rules.
- Security & Mobile: Packets and decisions are logged in local SQLite with zero telemetry; includes mobile approval for merges.
Currently available for macOS (88MB), the author dogfooded the tool to manage over 5,500 commits.
