openalpheus - Multi-agent harness for solo operators and small teams

favicon

Codeberg.org (codeberg.org)

What's different:

**You control the entire prompt.** Your agent doesn't read a single character you didn't put there. Identity, behavior, safety rules — all markdown files you edit. No code required.

**Full visibility.** Every tool call, every sub-agent dispatch, every thinking step surfaces in your chat history. No black boxes.

Talk to your agents from any ** Matrix client ** — phone, desktop, web. No bespoke UI to maintain or learn.

Session state is **plain text.** grep works. cat works. No database, no migrations, no query language. The unreasonable effectiveness of text files reigns supreme.

One-command install on Debian or Ubuntu.

I really tried to strike a balance between building the core capability you need in a harness while keeping the system easy to reason about and troubleshoot.

(Also, not adding a mountain of attack surface.)
