Babysits your agents from idea to PR, letting you think

Hive orchestrates work of SOTA coding agents (Claude/Codex/Pi), so they run autonomously and asynchronously from idea to PR, while you provide only the critical product decisions. Right in your terminal. So instead of watching 5 terminals, you can outsource agents babysitting to Hive and do something meaningful.

Hi Product Hunt — I'm Ivan, the maker of Hive.
Hive is an open-source agent harness that drives SOTA coding agents (Claude, Codex, Pi) from a rough idea to a merge-ready PR. The mental model, borrowed from Kieran Klaassen's "the folder is the agent," is that every task is a directory: the folder's location is its state, and the .md files inside are the work. A daemon moves a task through 'brainstorm → plan → code → multi-agent review → PR', and you only step in when an agent actually needs you — usually just answering the brainstorm questions in your own editor (vim, in my case).
I've been dogfooding it hard. Hive's own codebase — now 55k+ lines of Ruby, not counting tests — was mostly written by Hive itself (about 70% when I last measured), and the demo above is a real run on a fresh project that ended in this merged PR: https://github.com/ivankuznetsov....
The recently shipped Hive v0.2.0 added a repo patrol that opens PRs on its own, a babysitter daemon that keeps open PRs rebased and green, and Telegram idea capture with voice notes.
You don't even have to leave your agent: Hive ships an OpenClaw skill (`openclaw skills install hive-cli` gives you a `/hive` command with guided setup), and you can drive it from inside the Hermes agent the same way.
Honest caveats up front:
- Hive is token-heavy by default (many subagents + multiple coding agents). It's free and open source, but to really try it I'd recommend a Claude Max + ChatGPT Pro (Codex) subscription — that's where it shines.
- Claude's tmux mode (the default — it bills against your Claude subscription instead of API credits) is the newest part of the stack — expect some rough edges.
- I'm a solo dev building this in spare time, so testing across OSes and workflows is thin. Feedback and issues are very welcome.
- Prefer a browser? Hivebox — a dockerized Hive with a web UI — is the next release, about a two weeks out. The Discord hears about it first.
