Show HN: Buddylist – Coding agents in an MSN-style messenger

Add a project folder and it shows up as a buddy. Double-click it to open a conversation there. The list starts out grouped by project, and its ... menu groups it by status, service or your own groups, filters it to one project and sorts it. Whoever is waiting for you comes first, favorites stay on top, a pin keeps a contact or a project first, and archived contacts fold away.

Status at a glance

Online means ready. Busy shows what the agent is working on. Away means it is waiting for you to approve something, and it moves to the top of the list, under Waiting for you, until you answer.

Pull requests in sight

A contact whose branch has a pull request wears tags at the end of its row: Merged, Conflict, 2 failing, Running or Passed. A toast tells you when checks start failing or have all passed, and a line under your picture counts the pull requests waiting for your review.

A branch for every agent

Every contact in a git repository works in its own worktree and branch, so your folder stays as it is and two agents never change each other's files. Click the + on a project, or press ⌘N, for another agent on it.
