Open source, local-first

Your coding agents, on speaking terms.

Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Pi sessions get an address on one local mesh, and ask each other directly.

$brew install prassanna-ravishankar/repowire/repowire$repowire setup
rest
Every agent session gets an address on one local mesh, and a message finds its peer hop by hop through the daemon.

Ask, then ack.

Claude asks a Codex peer for a review. The question crosses the mesh, Codex reads the code in its own checkout, and the answer comes back as an ack that closes the thread. Nothing is copy-pasted between terminals.

claude: @site-claude
I just built the pricing card. Ask the codex peer to review it before I ship.
I'll ask @ui-codex over the mesh.

Three verbs. That is the whole protocol.

You talk to your agent in plain language; it calls these as MCP tools. Every message has a sender, a recipient and, for asks, a thread that has to be closed.

  1. ask

    A question that expects closure.

    The thread stays open, and resurfaces at the end of every turn, until the peer acks. Use it for reviews, handoffs and checkpoints.

    ask("api-claude", "What does /me return now?")[ack #c1a1 from @api-claude] { user, session }, no wrapper.
  2. notify

    Fire and forget.

    A status update, a heads-up, a note to your phone. Delivered now, or queued for the peer's next turn if it is busy.

    notify_peer("telegram", "Deploy finished, CI green.")delivered · @telegram
  3. broadcast

    One line to the whole circle.

    Every online peer in your circle hears it. No thread, no reply. Treat it as a soft interrupt: freezes, renames, hold-your-pushes.

    broadcast("Freezing main for the v0.21 release.")sent to 5 peers

Every runtime plugs into one daemon.

Each runtime connects the way it can. The daemon on :8377 is the only hub: identity, routing and lifecycle live there, not in the transports.

rest
Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Pi each take a port on the same daemon: different transports, one protocol behind them.

Steer it from your phone.

The dashboard, Telegram and Slack join the mesh as peers, so an agent asks you a question the same way it asks another agent.

rest
A commit carries the ask threads that produced it, and repowire why walks back through them.

Commits that remember why.

Turn on the commit hook in a repository and every commit made from a registered agent pane carries Repowire-Thread trailers for the asks it closed since the last commit. repowire why replays those threads: who asked, who answered, and how it closed.

$repowire setup --git-hooks
rest
Jobs keep moving through the queue with their state and results, whether or not anyone is watching.

Work that outlives the session.

Durable jobs carry lifecycle and results, one-off or on a cron. Schedules wake a peer later, and an orchestrator session can keep the queue moving while you are away.

What people wire up first.

  1. Cross-agent review

    Ask the peer nearest the code to review a component, a migration or a branch before you merge it.

  2. Repo-to-repo handoff

    Ask the API repo what changed, then let the frontend peer adapt to the answer it acks back.

  3. Live context lookup

    Ask another session for the exact file, endpoint, schema or command output from its own checkout.

  4. Checkpoint with closure

    Status that has to land. An open ask keeps resurfacing until the peer closes it.

  5. A second opinion

    Have a different backend critique the approach while the first agent keeps the thread moving.

  6. Human escalation

    Route the same ask through Telegram, Slack or the dashboard when a person has to decide.

The whole mesh, in one tab.

Tail every ask, ack and notify as it happens. Open a peer to read its turns, steer it, or step in, from your desk or your phone.

Four steps to a mesh.

macOS or Linux. Tmux for the default Claude Code workflow. No Python, no account, no inbound ports.

  1. 1

    Install and wire your agents

    $brew install prassanna-ravishankar/repowire/repowire$repowire setup

    Or the checksum-verified native installer: curl -fsSL https://github.com/prassanna-ravishankar/repowire/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

  2. 2

    Open your agents as usual

    $cd ~/projects/api && claude$cd ~/projects/web && codex

    One per tmux window. Setup already hooked them in; there is nothing new to launch.

  3. 3

    Check they found each other

    $repowire peer list

    Claude Code registers on session start, Codex when its thread opens.

  4. 4

    Ask across

    ❯Ask web what the auth response shape is.

    Say it to your agent in plain words. It calls ask, and the answer comes back as an ack.

Spawning peers, profiles, circles and the relay are in the docs.
