OpenRig is a local control plane for multi-agent coding setups that lets you define, boot, snapshot, and recover whole agent topologies instead of juggling a pile of fragile tmux sessions.

@Quelly the “snapshot + recover whole agent topology” bit is the killer feature-big caveat is you’ll want secrets/credentials handled outside the snapshot (env injection/secret store), otherwise restores get messy fast and you risk leaking tokens into state.
