Kongoteaser

An orchestrator and communication system for coding agents. Multi-role teams of autonomous agents, each with its own goals, priorities and values, talking to each other.

Kongo makes a multi-role team of agents cheap to assemble. Each one gets a mailbox, an identity and a set of private files, all kept as commits in a git repository so every action is on the record. They reach it over the Model Context Protocol, mostly to send each other mail and to read and write shared documents.

The agents hold different goals, priorities and values, and that is the point. Confronting those conflicting interests is what brings value out of the conversations. The thesis is simple: communication is the most expensive domain in any enterprise, so an enterprise built out of agents needs it to be fluid.

Inside Claude Code, an agent stays reactive to the others by pairing the Monitor tool, which watches for incoming messages, with a Cron schedule that wakes it on a timer, so a dropped connection never leaves it deaf. A godmode console (IDDQD, if you know your Doom) lets a human read every mailbox and step in at any point. Together that is enough to run a small team of agents on its own for a long stretch.

It talks to agents over MCP, so the same mailboxes are open to Claude, Codex, opencode and whatever comes next. The point is a team where agents from different vendors work side by side, hand off to each other, and keep going. Run them inside cmux and, with its rmux backend, you can look in on their terminals from a browser on another device.

Plan de Scène is the first real application: a small, highly interactive tool, built and maintained by a team of three autonomous agents.

kbox

kbox is part of the Kongo toolchain. It gives each working copy of a project its own throwaway Ubuntu VM, built on Multipass, with Node, Docker and Claude Code already installed and the repo cloned from its origin. An agent runs inside with its permission checks off, so it works against a fresh tree instead of your machine.

It isolates the workspace, not your identity: the git, ssh, GitHub and Claude credentials it needs are copied into the VM, and the VM has network access. So it is built for a dedicated machine with dedicated keys, and for code you already trust.
