Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Llm Bus danieldoderlein Coding Agents	Dibs polymatx Coding Agents
Summary	Multi-agent coordination bus over MCP: atomic gap-free claims, advisory file leases, a shared event ledger, presence, prose handoffs, and a task graph, so multiple coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) stop colliding and re-deriving each other's work. Remote Streamable HTTP; self-hostable (AGPL-3.0) or hosted at llm-bus.com.	Coordination layer for parallel coding agents: TTL file claims stored in the git common dir (visible across every worktree instantly), enforcement hooks that block colliding edits in Claude Code and at commit time, agent presence, handoff notes, and git-committed lessons searchable with BM25. Single static binary — no server, no database.
