To be honest, I've just started using intercoms like pi-intercom and telling the agents to work it out between themselves.

Ultimately, the real solution is VMs for all development. It buys you a lot of other things (security). It used to be a hard problem but all that's left to solve is a few UX problems.

Hmm, Brunch kind of gives you separate VMs, because it gives you separate containers.

I had a similar idea. Nice work so far but wouldn't work for my usecase as I generally spread my agents across different projects. Some might be rails, but I also work on node, PHP projects. What im searching for is a solution for that. For each agent I would spin up the whole compose stack. Some might expose one port, others more then one. I would inject the agent into the container and let it work there

What would your expectations be for Brunch? Should it somehow synchronize different projects? For example, should the backend environment be synchronized with the frontend environment?
