The first stable Orphus release. Many minds, from many makers, argue at one table — the best path leaves the room.

Orphus is an agent harness where fleets of agents across providers deliberate in rooms that live outside every context window, and converge on a decision of record. Everything below shipped and hardened across the 0.1.0-alpha and 0.1.0-beta lines.

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kelvincushman/orphus/main/install.sh | sh

Upgrades are orphus update from then on — transactional, checksum-verified, prior versions kept for rollback. Channels: a stable install tracks stable releases only; a prerelease install tracks the newest release of any kind.

Highlights of the 0.1.0 line

  • Rooms and the context-window contract — the roundtable and memory tools in every session: bounded digests, broker-side cursors, lossless export into durable memory. A verbose peer cannot inflate your context.
  • Fleet orchestration — /fleet <name> <task> runs a shareable blueprint of teams (dispatch, deliberate, or deliberate-then-dispatch), /fleetsetup authors one by interview offering seats only from your configured providers. Ships with the fleet-orchestration protocol skill, a final-gate protocol (automated reviewers complete → triage → fresh-context verdict → merge), and six example blueprints.
  • Named subagent identities — fleet members join rooms under their own names with their own cursors, and per-seat tools grants let read-only agents deliberate.
  • Skills as an ecosystem — orphus install <git-url> consumes community skill packs (mattpocock/skills, cli-printing-press); the minting-clis skill teaches agents to find or mint an agent-native CLI before reaching for MCP.
  • The external bridge — orphus-roundtable-mcp lets any MCP-capable CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) join a room as a peer with a pinned role.
  • A managed install everywhere — the installer detects your platform, verifies SHA256SUMS, keeps versioned installs under ~/.local/share/orphus, and self-updates in place.

Platforms

macOS arm64 (Apple silicon) and Linux x64 (glibc ≥ 2.27 — Ubuntu 18.04+). Windows, Linux arm64, and musl are not built yet; open an issue if you need one.
