greatminds

File-based multi-agent coordination protocol. Per-role queues, atomic mv handoff, layered plugin set for Claude Code and profile-v2 setup for OpenAI Codex CLI.

Status

Alpha — 0.1.0.dev0. Public foundation commit; CLI entry-points are wired incrementally as scripts are ported from the original /opt/coordination/ layout.

What it is

A fleet-orchestration substrate for agents running in tmux panes:

• R8 finite-state pipeline — tasks move through typed queues (feature_inbox/, feature_plan/, feature_dev/, feature_ui_dev/, feature_docs/, feature_test/, feature_review/, verified/, …) via atomic mv — no daemon, no broker, no DB.
• Per-role identity — each agent owns one role (e.g. ARCHITECT-PLANNER, DEVELOPER, TESTER, STAND-KEEPER); roles claim from their queue, hand off to the next.
• Append-only task files — every transition adds a block; full audit trail.
• Layered plugins for Claude Code — universal coordination-protocol plugin loads for every role, per-role plugins layer on top.
• profile-v2 setup for Codex — equivalent per-role config, allowing hot-swapping claude ↔ codex per role from one fleet config.
• coordd — keystroke pusher daemon that watches per-role wake-files and forwards them to the live tmux pane only when the agent is genuinely idle (heartbeat-freshness guard prevents interrupting active work).
• Stand evidence + gate-check — tasks marked stand_required cannot reach verified/ until matching stand_done/<id>.yaml records the live-stand result.

Design philosophy

• Files, not state machines in memory. If the orchestrator crashes, the FS still tells you exactly where every task is.
• Atomic mv is the only handoff primitive — same filesystem, same volume.
• Each task is human-readable YAML/Markdown — no opaque blobs.
• Roles are interchangeable between Claude Code and Codex via the same plugin / skill / data layer.
