octomind: Open-source coding agent harness that runs across terminal, CI, daemon, WebSocket, and ACP surfaces.
What problem it solves
Coding agents commonly pause for human approval before risky steps, which makes unattended repository work difficult to run in CI, daemons, and scheduled jobs. Teams also need consistent policies, tools, and supervision across different execution environments without maintaining separate framework integrations.
Key features
Repository tooling through MCP — Give an LLM tools for reading and editing files, running shells, searching code, and delegating to sub-agents through MCP.
Source: README
Policy as code — Define deterministic pre-call guards, post-result hooks, and post-turn validators in TOML and scripts. These policies can enforce restrictions without recurring approval prompts.
Source: README
Supervisor and session learning — A second model maintains the plan, checks completion, and condenses tool output. Lessons extracted from completed work can be recalled by later sessions for the same project and role.
Source: README
Specialists and configurable roles — Install packaged specialists that include prompts, models, MCP servers, and permissions. Roles, workflows, tools, and models can also be configured for different tasks.
Source: README
Multiple execution surfaces — Use the same harness through an interactive CLI, non-interactive output, a daemon, a WebSocket server, or ACP editor integration.

octomind run developer:generalWho it may suit
Inference: This project may suit developers who need coding agents in interactive terminals, CI automation, background daemons, or editor integrations. It may also suit teams that want repository policies and agent configuration represented as code.
Topics to discuss
Which deterministic guardrails should be included in a standard repository policy?
How should delegated agents receive project context and supervisor guidance?
Which specialist agent configuration would be most useful to publish first?
