At the official HN API re-check, this Show HN ranked #48 in Top Stories with 35 points and 14 comments. The submission describes an open-source, self-hostable workspace for running multiple coding agents side by side; its official AGPL-3.0 GitHub repository was also re-checked.

THE STORY · The original
Read the explanation and its limits.
Verified key facts: the Show HN sat at #48 on Top Stories (35 points, 14 comments); the project is a self-described open-source, self-hostable coding-agent workbench; its GitHub repository recorded 223 stars and 51 forks under AGPL-3.0; the goal is one surface that runs Claude Code, Codex, and other agents in parallel with task isolation.

Why it is worth understanding
It marks an emerging product surface: instead of juggling Claude Code, Codex, and the rest separately, one workspace handles parallel runs, isolation, and shared context.
