@QingQ77: Multi-agent systems are often fixed as 'one commander, multiple workers' or only allow one-on-one chat. Cotal uses an open protocol to bring everyone into the same space, with topologies you can configure—peer-to-peer, manager-based, command chain, or hybrid—all running on the same standard. https://github.com/Cotal-AI/Cotal
Summary
Cotal is an open standard for AI agent coordination that allows configurable topologies (peer-to-peer, supervised, hierarchical, or hybrid) using NATS messaging, complementing existing protocols like MCP and A2A.

@vintcessun: It turns out that having multiple AI agents work together as a team is better than a single general-purpose agent in this way: each role is bound to its best model, memory and skills accumulate across conversations. Instead of taking turns, a task is handed off with a brief handover note. Runs locally, all file states are in ~/.crew44, free MIT license.
Crew44 is a local-first orchestrator that turns coding agents like Claude Code and Codex into a coordinated team of specialists, each bound to its best model, with persistent memory and skill accumulation across sessions. It runs entirely on your machine with no cloud dependence and is free under MIT license.
