REQL gives coding agents persistent working memory, pipeline views and multi-agent coordination
cl0wnfire · reddit · 2026-09-23
The author introduces REQL (sh1zen/reql), an open-source tool giving coding agents a persistent, structured view of both the repository and the work happening on top of it. Latest updates cover four areas:
- Pipeline exploration: reconstructs project-local flows from entrypoints, generating interactive pipeline views or Mermaid diagrams
- Memory across sessions: an agent dashboard tracks plans, decisions, findings, unfinished tasks and prior sessions so agents recover after context resets
- Parallel agent coordination: multiple agents work in isolated private workspaces while sharing progress via a common dashboard, messages and compact handoffs
- Tighter context retrieval: bounded working sets of relevant symbols, callers, dependencies and tests with source ranges, confidence and freshness; incremental indexing avoids rebuilds
The core runs locally with no mandatory LLM calls, embeddings, or external graph DB; works with Codex, Claude, Cursor and Gemini, and via CLI, Python, or MCP. The author is soliciting feedback from people running agents on large refactors or parallel workflows.
