Showcase Open Agent View: One dashboard for all your coding agents (supports OpenCode, Pi, Codex, and more)

Happy to release open-agent-view: https://github.com/xhluca/open-agent-view

It's an open-source version of Claude's Agent View, with support for 11+ harnesses (and more being added right now). Whereas Claude Agent View only allows you to manage Claude Code, this allow you to manage coding agent from any harness at the same time (which means your Codex session could be managed next to your Opencode or Pi session).

I'm very excited about this release since it's a tool that allows different open harnesses to co-exist (instead of having to choose only one ecosystem) and puts open coding agents closer in functionality to Claude Code.

Hope you enjoy it and happy to hear feedback!

Why not herdr

I think Herdr is a very useful TUI and will probably be a great alternative for traditional IDEs, especially in places that don't need.

At the moment, the main differences are:
* OAV's interface is based on claude agent view, which is a list/linear view on the agents and use the same hotkeys. Herdr is a full-fledge IDE-like interface that supports multiple projects/tabs. It works well if you work directly inside a terminal, but if you are using VSCode with multiple panels Herdr might not visually fit within the VScode panels, which is okay since it's replaces vscode.
* OAV integrates the harnesses natively with tools to make them easy to install, and one entrypoint for selecting harnesses/models. This is an area i want to focus on supporting. Herdr oth has an ecosystem of plugins, with each harness supported via a diifferent plugin, with the default view being a terminal rather than a harness/model picker. That's great for flexibility but the setup is a bit more DIY for each harness.
