Hi HN, I'm Marco,

I've built this MIT-licensed CLI command to parallelize my work with claude / codex / PI, because with worktrees I had ports conflicts, agents conflicting for browser use, or touching external files.

It copies your project, skills, subscription oauth, and can optionally carry external files, supports LFS, and adds Chrome and screensharing via webVNC, so I use it for Godot game for eg.

To use:

    agentbox claude  # launch on docker, also with pi, codex, opencode

and:

    agentbox hetzner claude  # also digitalocean, e2b, vercel, daytona, islo, Sprites, Tenki

or your own private cloud:

    agentbox remote-docker add buildbox marco@10.0.0.9
    agentbox docker:buildbox claude

Most importantly your git credentials / gh tokens are not copied into the sandboxes, but changes are relayed through your pc, with shims for git, gh or any CLI from your host, with your approval.

I use it to drive multiple subagents from a "Firstmate" agent:

I request several changes or gives him a backlog of items and claude will splits them in groups into parallel cloud sandboxes to avoid conflicts, and drive the sessions with the special "agentbox drive" commands, for eg. to wait-for idle, plan-approval, questions etc.

I find it really usefull so far, since it allows me to keep using my existing IDE/tools.
