Agent-to-agent pair programming • Hacker News Board

This is interesting for code, but I'm curious about agent-to-agent coordination for ops tasks — like one agent detecting a database anomaly and another auto-remediating it

I’m curious whether anyone has measured this systematically. Right now most of the evidence for multi-agent setups still feels anecdotal.

I think a lot of people/companies are integrating workflows like that, it's just separate from the point of agent pair coding.

The interesting thing here is agents working together to be better at a single task. Not agents integrated in a workflow. There's a lot of opportunity in "if this then that" scenarios that has nothing to do with two agents communicating on one single element of a problem, it's just Agent detect -> agent solve (-> Agent review? Agent deploy? Etc.)

Completely with you on this! But then we need to define the cirteria for comparison. Might not be that easy unfortunately

I think the A2A space is wide open. Great to see this approach using App Server and Channels. I tried built something similar (at a high level) for a more B2C use case for OpenClaw https://github.com/agentlink-dev/agentlink users. Currently I think the major Agents have not fully owned the "wake the Agent" use case fully. Regardless this is a very cool approach. All the best.

Nice - I do something similar in a semi manual way. I do find Codex very good at reviewing work marked as completed by Claude, especially when I get Claude to write up its work with a why,where & how doc. It’s very rare Claude has fully completed the task successfully and Codex doesn’t find issues.

Claude is also good at that. I made a habit of asking "are you sure?" after a complex task. It usually says it overlooked something.
