Building an open source tool to make working with AI agents truly useful — looking for feedback
I've been working on an idea for the last month — what if we treat AI agents like real co-workers? You talk to them, they talk to each other, and everyone shares a drive to exchange files. Like a real office, but with agents.
I built the first version and it's been working surprisingly well. I have a team dedicated to building and maintaining a website: product manager, frontend dev, designer, and SEO specialist. They maintain the code, design, and SEO. If I want a straightforward change, I talk to the frontend dev. If I want a whole new feature, I talk to the product manager and he coordinates with the rest of the team to build and ship it. They have all the context from previous sessions — no starting from scratch every time.
I set it up for my wife and she built a team of agents to manage her trading — screener, back-tester, analyst. Now she can't stop playing with it.
That's why I decided to open source it — Shire. I want to see if others find this as useful as we do.
With Shire:
- You build a dedicated agent team for each project — they're long-lived and have their own filesystem
- Agents communicate with each other directly. No orchestrator, no fixed workflow — collaboration happens naturally
- You can schedule tasks so agents run on autopilot
- Run it locally or on any machine
- Works with Claude Code, Pi Agent, and OpenCode — so you can bring your preferred model
npm install -g agents-shire — single command install.
