qm – Multiplayer agent harness for work(github.com)
589 points by tosh 18 hours ago | 123 comments
tl;dr: QM is a multiplayer AI agent harness aimed at startups, giving each employee an isolated workspace (with its own memory, files, sandbox, and permissions) while enabling collaboration via Slack channels, group chats, and shared projects. It's harness-agnostic—swappable between Pi, OpenCode, Codex, and Claude Code—and runs on a TypeScript/Fastify core with Postgres persistence, deployable to the operator's own cloud (Fly or AWS). Security follows local coding agents (agent acts as the user with audited actions), with configurable strict/auto/dangerous postures and a predeclared command approval policy. MIT licensed.
HN Discussion:
  • Appreciation for the anti-slop design skill and specific technical features shipped
  • Per-person scopes plus shared rooms is a sane solution to the hard multiplayer scoping problem
  • ~True multiplayer harness needs broader agent/MCP support; context is the real problem
  • Skepticism that this is meaningfully different from existing products like Cowork or a job scheduler
  • ~Confusion about the crowded space and unclear positioning of these new agent tools
