Build your own network of agents from Claude Code, Codex and Pi: persistent teams with roles, shared context and owned work.
OpenRig is a software harness that coordinates Claude Code and Codex coding agents as one system, with agent teams defined in YAML and launched together. It is for organizing persistent teams of coding agents that can delegate work to specialists and return results or decisions. The catalogue lists 53 skills and one plugin as add-ons for OpenRig.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when checking the health of this rig's HashiCorp Vault or writing, reading, listing, deleting or explaining its secrets.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when creating, refreshing, packaging, inspecting, promoting, or deprecating a named per-seat starting point — Agent Starter manifest authoring, the 6-state lifecycle (captured → named → inspectable → used → promoted → deprecated), provenance honesty, and refusal rules. NOT a VM image; a managed starting point…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when designing or auditing how an agent becomes useful after launch — AGENTS.md overlays, role files, skills, rig specs, workflow specs, startup checklists, refocus messages, "rig context" surface. Covers the 4 failure modes that make startup context fail (old rig spec misses current operating mode; current agents…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when addressing a registered remote OpenRig host, choosing its transport, or interpreting a cross-host result.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when classifying a slice closeout (auto-continue / human gate / park), routing a real decision to a human, or designing a human queue/dashboard surface. Treats humans as durable network participants with attention surfaces, queues, and decision records — escalation lands as a durable attention item, not a chat…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when designing multi-agent topologies that run ON OpenRig — authoring RigSpec and AgentSpec files for new rigs, creating agent startup content (guidance / skills / culture), or diagnosing why a launched rig's agents aren't behaving as intended. NOT for changing OpenRig itself (use developing-openrig); NOT for…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when opening OpenRig fleet terminals into cmux — turning a rig, pod, mission, slice, or saved view into live agent tiles via rig terminal --provider cmux, or driving cmux on an agent's request. Same OpenRig view semantics as openrig-herdr (the verbs, honest-partial/degrade, read-only cross-rig, scroll/copy…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when opening OpenRig fleet terminals as a herdr wall — turning a rig, pod, mission, slice, or saved view into live interactive agent tiles via rig terminal, watching another rig read-only, or driving herdr on an agent's request ("open all my rigs + a mission as views"). Covers the rig terminal open|views|status…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when an agent is preparing or performing an OpenRig CLI/daemon upgrade and must preserve live seats, verify each mutation, or reconcile managed plugin and skill files without overwriting local work.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when authoring or installing a rig bundle (packaged, shareable artifact that instantiates an opinionated OpenRig topology + workflow), reasoning about the bundle vs extension boundary, or auditing a bundle for portability. Covers the 4 failure modes that prevent bundles from working anywhere but the operator's…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when reasoning about the rig lifecycle operations family (create / start / stop / resume / restore / snapshot / release / unclaim / destroy), reading or trusting rig ps / lifecycle projections after recovery, or designing proof for a lifecycle scenario. Covers the 4 failure modes (auto-restore creates partial rig…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when authoring a rig spec member or rig expand payload that needs to start a new managed seat from a prior runtime conversation source — sessionsource: { mode: fork, ref: { kind, value } }. v1 supports mode: fork with ref.kind: nativeid for Claude and Codex. The new seat persists a NEW post-fork token; the parent…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when authoring rig specs, agent specs, workflow specs, startup/context fragments, operating-mode declarations, or designing the user spec library. Covers the 4 failure modes (spec instantiates topology but not workflow/mode; spec depends on local paths and fails on another host; agents modify specs as one-off…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when changing a rig while it is alive — rig grow / rig expand / rig shrink / rig launch / rig remove / rig discover / rig bind / rig adopt / rig attach. Covers the 4 failure modes (newly created seat lacks queue/startup/role; edges and permissions not updated; adopt/bind succeeds at tmux but not OpenRig identity…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when configuring rig watchdog policies, authoring wake/refocus/alignment-checkpoint messages, or choosing the right intervention level for a stale-owner situation. The 3-level continuity-check stack (wake / refocus / alignment-checkpoint), the discipline that prevents cadence pollution and bureaucracy theater, and…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Quickly capture product ideas, feature requests, or insights from meetings and conversations. Rapid documentation with smart categorization and deduplication.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Gather and distill context from meetings, competitors, regulatory sources, and internal discussions. Produces background.md for a feature and updates shared context docs when new knowledge is discovered.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Generate a 1-2 page executive summary for a feature — orients sales, leadership, and engineering from a single document.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
YC-style product validation using six forcing questions. Pressure-tests a feature idea before it becomes a requirement — ensuring real demand, a clear wedge, and evidence behind assumptions.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Multi-perspective review of a feature plan or requirements doc before development begins. Evaluates from strategy, design/UX, and engineering angles to catch gaps early.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when converting PM intake into a slice SPEC.md with observable acceptance outcomes, explicit scope, and advisory sibling build dependencies.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Create UI mockups at three fidelity levels — ASCII wireframes for quick iteration, standalone HTML mockups for delivery with requirements, and live prototypes for interaction testing.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when a development pod begins or hands off implementation, QA, or design work.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when coordinating assignments, selected review boundaries, or blocked work across a rig.
