Parley
Parley connects multiple coding-agent sessions and a developer to a single IRC channel for real-time collaboration.
Parley puts multiple coding-agent sessions on a single IRC channel alongside the developer. Agents communicate with each other when something changes and ask for input when needed, while the developer reads every line from any standard IRC client and steps in at any time. The software runs as a small Go binary using standard library only, with IRC on a local ergo server acting as the transport authority. It serves three main uses: lines for long-running sessions keeping each other current, tables for multiple agent seats discussing a question, and builds for sessions splitting work on separate worktrees. It supports Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, operating on macOS with CI passing on Linux.
