Show HN: 20+ Claude Code agents coordinating on real work (open source) 10 by austinbaggio | 14 comments on Hacker News. Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the pattern generalizes to things like refactors, app builds, and long research. It’s packaged as a Claude Code skill and designed to be small, readable, and modifiable. Use it, break it, tell me about what workloads we should try and run next!
