[!IMPORTANT] Middleman is being superseded by bb, an agentic IDE that orchestrates Claude Code, Codex, and Pi in long-lived threads you can follow live and steer at any turn. Try it with , then open . Requires Node 22.12.0+ on macOS/Linux, or Windows via WSL2. 👔 Middleman A local-first multi-agent orchestration platform. One manager, many workers, zero tab-juggling. [!WARNING] Middleman is pre-v1, experimental, and updated constantly. Expect breaking changes. If you're using agentic coding tools, you've probably hit this wall: you start with one agent, then two, then five. You're branching, worktree-ing, reviewing, merging, context-switching. The agents are cranking out code. But your entire day is spent managing them, sequencing work, checking output, nudging things along. You're not an IC anymore. You've become a project manager. You need a middle manager. Middleman gives you one. You talk to a single persistent manager agent per project. You describe what needs to be done, whether it's a feature, a batch of bug fixes, or a refactor, and the manager dispatches workers, parallelizes where it makes sense, and surfaces only the things that need your attention.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
