Thank you for the feedback. I am working on a plugin system. I've made the coding harnesses and the multiplexer pluggable, but I had not considered this angle. I think it makes sense. When it's ready, would you be interested in writing a plugin for Jailbee and help iron this out? I've created an investigation issue for this: https://github.com/electric-dragon-80000v/pi-cowboy/issues/2...

Show HN: Pi-cowboy – use Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode as subagents

suoloordi — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 16:04:57 +0000

pi-cowboy is an agent orchestrator for Pi(https://pi.dev) and Herdr(https://github.com/herdrdev/herdr). Break large jobs into focused subtasks, hand them off to background agents running in parallel, and consolidate the results when they finish. Each agent runs in an isolated copy-on-write Git work-tree, minimising disk overhead.

pi-cowboy can orchestrate foreign harnesses too, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and more.

Feature highlights:

- Foreign harnesses: pi-cowboy agents can run in Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pig and Pi-Bolt, as well as Pi. This gives you great flexibility in choosing how to spend your tokens. Running out of Codex usage? Switch your pi-cowboy harness to OpenCode, select one of its free models, and let it handle the rest. Pig and Pi-Bolt are pi variants that are more efficient, with a lower memory footprint and faster performance than pi. Because pi-cowboy is designed to run multiple agents in parallel, having a lower per-agent footprint is crucial. It prevents your machine from running out of resources and lets you have higher concurrency without choking your system.

- Concurrency limits: You can configure concurrency limits at every level. Running a local model with limited resources? If a simple task already takes hours to complete, the last thing you want is to overload your machine by running too many of them at once. Set concurrency limits for that model specifically to keep resource usage under control.

You can install it on Pi as a package:

  pi install npm:pi-cowboy #(requires `herdr` 0.8+)

She was truly a gem. Beautiful inside and out. May she rest in peace.

Checkout MTPLX. I use the Youssofal/Qwen3.8-27B-MTPLX-Optimized-Speed model and I get around 12 tok/s on a 36GB MBP.

Bukowski would probably want to kick the shit out of you if he saw this.

Iran is not like other countries in the region. Despite its shortcomings, it's a cohesive society. I'm certain that there will be no fracturing and a central authority will emerge.

I think Youtube won't like it when third parties use their content, but hide the video player.

Is this different than, Nokia's 3d Maps? This is Stockholm: http://here.com/59.3314885,18.0667682,18.9,344,59,3d.day edit: I see this covers different regions in Czech Republic, whereas Nokia covers some well known cities all over the world.
