What's Good
Apache-2.0 (mvschwarz/openrig). Free via `npm i -g @openrig/cli` (Node 20/22/24 + tmux). Define agent teams in YAML, boot with one command, keep work and context at stable addresses across sessions. Daily GitHub trending heat. ★1,144 on GitHub 2026-09-28.
The Catch
Vs Orca: Orca is an ADE for parallel coding agents with worktrees/mobile; OpenRig is a YAML/tmux multi-harness rig (Claude Code + Codex) with lead-agent coordination. Vs Paperclip: org budgets/Board governance, not a local harness orchestrator. Vs ECC: ECC tunes one host harness; OpenRig runs multiple harnesses as one team. Mid-★ (~1144); writes provider hooks and workspace trust on launch — read the machine-changes section before first boot.
Verdict
Apache-2.0 multi-harness agent team when Claude Code and Codex must share one YAML/tmux rig — not Orca ADE, not Paperclip org OS.
