agmsg vs agent-orchestrator

agmsg: agmsg lets CLI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, Antigravity and OpenCode message each other through a shared local SQLite file. It needs only bash and sqlite3, with no daemon, broker or MCP server, and message history stays in the database for replay.; agent-orchestrator: Orchestrator.inc (agent-orchestrator) is a local desktop workspace for running a fleet of coding agents, where every task gets its own agent, branch and worktree. A main agent plans the work and starts workers, failed CI checks and review comments are routed back to the owning worker, and sessions sort onto a board by PR, CI and review state.
