You can now run an office of your clones
“Jim’s clone just unblocked Pam’s clone. You were asleep.”
The Story
Munder Difflin is a free local multi-agent harness that turns the CLI agent you already pay for into a “clone” of you. Clones sit on a simulated office floor, message each other at 3am, review PRs in your voice, and (on paid plans) keep working after the laptop lid closes. The whole thing is branded as *The Office*.
Why It Matters
Builder utility *and* future-shock. Not “agents can use a computer” (already covered) — it’s the identity joke: your company is now a night shift of yous, E2E-encrypted, arguing about invoice tokens while you sleep.
Evidence
Project site + GitHub; HN front page (~290 pts). Open-source harness wrapping Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.
