Multi-agent workflows: parallel runners vs profile-switching

Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Two patterns for running multiple AI coding agents — parallel runs on git worktrees (Claude Squad, Conductor) and Ringlet's serial profile-switching. When each one is right, and how to use them together.

Migrating from shell aliases to Ringlet profiles in 15 minutes

Wed, 27 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

A step-by-step migration from per-project bash aliases — multiple ANTHROPIC_API_KEY exports, direnv files, wrapper scripts — to Ringlet's profile model. Before/after, including the parts that don't translate.

Keychain credential storage in Ringlet: Security.framework, Keyring, WinCred

Tue, 26 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Where Ringlet stores your API keys and why — Apple Security.framework on macOS, GNOME Keyring or KWallet on Linux, Windows Credential Manager. The Rust keyring crate, file-backed fallback, and how to rotate.

Event hooks and webhooks: audit logs, Slack alerts, pre-tool guards

Mon, 25 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Ringlet's hook system fires shell commands, scripts, or webhooks on every agent lifecycle event — tool use, stop, notify, cost-threshold. Use it for audit logs, Slack pages, or pre-flight checks on tool calls.

Remote terminal sessions: running Claude Code on a server, browser access

Sun, 24 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

How Ringlet runs an AI coding agent on a remote dev box and lets you access the live PTY from your laptop's browser. WebSocket PTY proxy, bearer-token auth, sandboxed exec, xterm.js dashboard.

Sandboxing AI coding agents with bwrap and sandbox-exec

Sat, 23 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

How Ringlet wraps remote agent sessions in a real OS sandbox — bubblewrap on Linux, sandbox-exec on macOS — keeping destructive commands inside a workspace. The config, trade-offs, and failure modes.

Routing requests by cost, tool use, or token count with Ringlet

Fri, 22 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Ringlet's optional ultrallm proxy routes an agent's individual requests to different providers by token count, tool use, or arbitrary TOML rules. Cheap completions to Groq, tool-heavy work to Anthropic — same agent.

Cost tracking across Claude Code, Codex, and Grok in one ledger

Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

How Ringlet parses streaming token-usage events from Anthropic, OpenAI, and MiniMax, writes them to a per-profile SQLite ledger, and aggregates spend across every agent and provider in one CLI command.

Profile isolation explained: how Ringlet keeps your AI agents separate

Mon, 18 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

What's actually inside ~/.ringlet/profiles/, how Ringlet rewrites the agent's HOME at launch, why env vars alone aren't enough, and what this means for caches, MCP servers, and tool approvals.

The agent stack in 2026: why one CLI per model isn't sustainable

Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Every major AI lab ships a coding CLI. Each assumes it owns your machine. The stack we're collectively building looks like the JavaScript ecosystem circa 2014 — and needs the same kind of orchestrator.

What is Ringlet? The agent orchestrator for the multi-CLI era

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Ringlet is a Rust CLI that manages AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Droid, OpenCode — behind isolated profiles, with provider switching and built-in cost tracking. What it does and who it's for.

Announcing Ringlet 0.1.0 — one CLI for every coding agent

Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

First public release of Ringlet: the open-source orchestrator for AI coding agents. Profile isolation, provider switching, cost tracking, sandboxed remote sessions, web dashboard — all in one MIT Rust binary.
