Show HN: Elpis – Rust-style ownership for teams of coding agents

Category: devtools

Tags: multi-agent, codex, rust, developer-tools, context-management, agent-orchestration, worktree-isolation

Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

Elpis is a coding-agent harness built on Codex CLI that applies Rust-inspired ownership rules to multi-agent workflows: each agent owns its own folder/worktree, writers must be followed by a read-only check, conflicting writers are refused, and a Mother agent reviews before merging. It also adds a Context Ledger for explicit per-agent context control, plus a terminal UI and Electron desktop app with workflow patterns like Sequential, Parallel, Kahn waves, Recursive, and Voting.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, AI engineers, and developers orchestrating coding agents
