ColeMurray/background-agents ships an open-source version of the background-agent pattern the IDE vendors sell
ColeMurray/background-agents is an MIT background coding agent system at 3,006 stars and 435 forks, pushed today, with 46 open PRs against 48 open issues and no tagged release yet. The balance of PRs to issues at this size suggests a project still being built with contributors rather than consumed by users. It matters because background agents have so far been a hosted feature of Cursor and Copilot, and this is the self-hostable equivalent.
