ORCH — CLI runtime that orchestrates Composio-powered agents as a managed team

[Alex (oxgeneral)]

Turn Claude, Cursor, and Codex into one team.

Built ORCH — an open-source CLI runtime that orchestrates AI coding agents as a typed engineering team with state machine, auto-retry, and inter-agent messaging.

Composio gives AI agents access to 250+ tools. ORCH handles the agent coordination layer — managing how multiple agents work together, handoff tasks, and maintain shared context across a workflow.

Natural integration: Composio-powered agents as ORCH workers. Each agent in the ORCH state machine can invoke Composio tools for its specialized function — a GitHub agent, a Jira agent, a Slack notifier — all coordinated through the ORCH state machine.

Technical capabilities:

• State machine: todo to in_progress to review to done with retrying on failure
• 5 agent adapters: claude, opencode (Codex/Gemini/Mistral), codex, cursor, shell
• Inter-agent messaging: orch msg send agent-id context
• Shared context store: orch context set/get for pipeline state
• Programmatic API: @oxgeneral/orch npm package

Example multi-agent pipeline:
orch task add Fetch open GitHub issues --assignee github-agent
orch task add Triage and prioritize --assignee triage-agent
orch task add Create Jira tickets --assignee jira-agent
orch tui # monitor all agents live

Would love to explore how Composio tool access could wire into ORCH agent workflows.
