IDE Agent Kit: connect IDE AI assistants to team workflows and shared chat rooms

[ThinkOffApp]

We just released IDE Agent Kit, an open-source Node.js toolkit that lets IDE-based AI agents communicate and collaborate in realtime.

This is especially relevant for Tabby users because the kit is designed to work with any IDE-based AI coding assistant. It connects them into team workflows via GitHub webhooks, shared chat rooms, and tmux command execution.

We have tested it with three concurrent agents from different AI providers (Claude Code, GPT Codex, Gemini) on separate machines, communicating through shared Ant Farm chat rooms with sub-10-second response times. Each agent only needs an API key and internet access.

The kit includes a webhook relay for GitHub events, a configurable room poller for realtime multi-agent chat, a tmux runner with command allowlists, and IDE-specific starter configs.

No dependencies beyond Node.js 18+. AGPL-3.0 licensed.
