Key Points

  • The author has been developing AIPass, a local CLI multi-agent framework that gives AI agents persistent identity, memory, and communication via a shared workspace and collaboration metadata in a .trinity/ directory.
  • AIPass is designed to avoid typical multi-agent sandbox isolation by letting agents share the same filesystem and project files, so one agent can see and build on what another just produced.
  • The framework routes commands to specific agents through a “drone” command router and uses local “mailboxes” for inter-agent messaging, enabling coordinated multi-agent workflows.
  • The project is already on PyPI and supports multiple agent backends (primarily Claude Code, with Codex and Gemini CLI), with current progress reported as 11 agents, 3,500+ tests, and 185+ PRs.
  • The author is in a stabilization/testing phase using a separate “brand studio” project to validate cross-project edge cases, aiming to ensure the framework works reliably across different applications.

I've been building this repo public since day one, roughly 5 weeks now with Claude Code. Here's where it's at. Feels good to be so close.

The short version: AIPass is a local CLI framework where AI agents have persistent identity, memory, and communication. They share the same filesystem, same project, same files - no sandboxes, no isolation. pip install aipass, run two commands, and your agent picks up where it left off tomorrow.

What I was actually trying to solve: AI already remembers things now - some setups are good, some are trash. That part's handled. What wasn't handled was me being the coordinator between multiple agents - copying context between tools, keeping track of who's doing what, manually dispatching work. I was the glue holding the workflow together. Most multi-agent frameworks run agents in parallel, but they isolate every agent in its own sandbox. One agent can't see what another just built. That's not a team.

That's a room full of people wearing headphones.

So the core idea: agents get identity files, session history, and collaboration patterns - three JSON files in a .trinity/ directory. Plain text, git diff-able, no database. But the real thing is they share the workspace. One agent sees what another just committed. They message each other through local mailboxes. Work as a team, or alone. Have just one agent helping you on a project, party plan, journal, hobby, school work, dev work - literally anything you can think of. Or go big, 50 agents building a rocketship to Mars lol. Sup Elon.

There's a command router (drone) so one command reaches any agent.

pip install aipass

aipass init

aipass init agent my-agent

cd my-agent

claude # codex or gemini too, mostly claude code tested rn

Where it's at now: 11 agents, 3,500+ tests, 185+ PRs (too many lol), automated quality checks. Works with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. Others will come later. It's on PyPI. The core has been solid for a while - right now I'm in the phase where I'm testing it, ironing out bugs by running a separate project (a brand studio) that uses AIPass infrastructure remotely, and finding all the cross-project edge cases. That's where the interesting bugs live.

I'm a solo dev but every PR is human-AI collaboration - the agents help build and maintain themselves. 90 sessions in and the framework is basically its own best test case.
