Show HN: OpenRig – agent harness that runs Claude Code and Codex as one system I've been running Claude Code and Codex together every day. At some point I figured out you can use tmux to let them talk to each other, so I started doing that. Once they could coordinate, I kept adding more agents. Before long I had a whole team working together. But any time I rebooted my machine, the whole thing was gone. Not just the tabs. The way they were wired up, what each one was doing, all of it. Nothing I'd found treats your agent setup as a topology, as something with a shape you can save and bring back. So I built OpenRig, a multi-agent harness. A harness wraps a model. A "rig" wraps your harnesses. You describe your team in a YAML file, boot it with one command, and get a live topology you can see, click into, save, and bring back by name. Claude Code and Codex run together in the same rig. tmux is still doing the talking underneath. I didn't try to add a fancier messaging layer on top. The project is still early. My own setup uses the config layer extensively (YAML, Markdown, JSON) for prototyping functionality that outpace what's shipped in the repo and npm package. But the core primitives are there and the happy path in readme works. It's built to be driven by your agent, not by you typing commands by hand.
