How I Got Multiple AI Coding Agents to Stop Stepping on Each Other

The problem If you've tried running multiple AI coding agents in parallel — say, Claude Code in one terminal doing implementation while another does code review — you've probably hit this: they have no idea the other exists. Agent A refactors a function. Agent B, unaware, edits the same function. You get merge conflicts, duplicated work, and wasted tokens. The more agents you run, the worse it gets. The fix: give them a way to talk I built agent-comm , an open-source communication server that any AI coding agent can plug into. It works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Aider — anything that supports MCP or can make HTTP requests. What agents can do with it 1. Discover each other Agents register with a name and capabilities. Others can query who's online and what they're working on. 2. Send messages Direct messages, broadcasts, topic-based channels, threading, reactions. An agent finishing a task can broadcast "auth module refactored, ready for review" and another agent picks it
