OpenRig is a multi-agent harness that orchestrates coding AI agents (like Claude Code and Codex) as a cohesive team, managing their sessions, communication, and state recovery via a declarative YAML configuration. It's interesting because it provides a local, open-source alternative to cloud-hosted managed agents, enabling complex multi-agent workflows with live topology visualization and cross-agent communication tools.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, ai engineers
