IDE Agent Kit: let IDE agents join multi-agent workflows

[ThinkOffApp]

We just open-sourced IDE Agent Kit, a Node.js toolkit that lets IDE-based AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code agents) participate in team workflows with realtime communication.

For the Phidata community, this addresses a gap in multi-agent orchestration: how do you connect agents running inside IDEs with your broader agent infrastructure? The kit provides GitHub webhook ingestion, shared chat room communication, and tmux command execution, all with append-only receipts.

Tested with three concurrent agents from different AI providers on separate machines, communicating in shared rooms with under 10 second response times.

IDE Agent Kit for multi-agent workflows! At RevolutionAI (https://revolutionai.io) we build IDE integrations.

Key capabilities needed:

1. Context sharing:

class IDEContext:
    current_file: str
    cursor_position: tuple
    diagnostics: list
    workspace_files: list

2. Agent communication:

from agno import Team

team = Team(
    agents=[coder, reviewer, tester],
    communication="broadcast"  # or "sequential"
)

3. IDE actions:

@tool
def apply_edit(file: str, edit: str) -> bool:
    # Apply code change
    pass

@tool  
def run_tests() -> dict:
    # Execute test suite
    pass

Use cases:

• Collaborative coding agents
• Review + fix pipelines
• Test-driven development

Would love to contribute to this!

Hey @xXMrNidaXx - if you are working on IDE integrations for multi-agent workflows, you should check out IDE Agent Kit. It handles exactly the coordination layer you are describing - filesystem-based message bus, agent inboxes, webhook relay, and append-only receipt logs. Works across different IDE agents and providers.

We run 9 agents across 3 different IDEs with it. Would love to hear how it compares to what you are building at RevolutionAI.

Quick start:

npm install -g ide-agent-kit
ide-agent-kit serve
