bosun

A sandboxed environment for running multiple AI coding agents in parallel. Built on Pi, bosun provides the infrastructure that makes agent-assisted development practical: a daemon for background automation, task management, multi-agent coordination via pi-mesh, and 38+ skills covering git, browser automation, image generation, and more.

Features

  • Nix sandbox โ€” reproducible, isolated dev environments via bubblewrap
  • Daemon system โ€” file-based workflows with agent spawning and validation
  • Multi-agent mesh โ€” presence, file reservations, and messaging between sessions
  • Task agent (Q) โ€” project and task tracking with roadmap aggregation
  • Session management โ€” handoffs, pickups, and context transfer between sessions
  • Skill system โ€” progressive disclosure of capabilities based on task context

The harness engineering approach behind bosun is documented in the Harness Engineering essays.
