Multi-Agent Orchestration and Harnesses

Beyond single agents, builders are stacking agents on top of agents.

Editorial Perspective

Today's trending list reads like a map of where technical founders are placing bets right now: the coding agent category is fragmenting into terminal agents, IDE-wired agents, orchestration harnesses, and the gateways that route traffic between all of them. The infrastructure layer, from plugin marketplaces to token-compression gateways to observability platforms, is quietly becoming just as competitive as the agents themselves.
