We ran this experiment twice. Here's what happened. Run python3 replay.py for the full animated version in your terminal --- The Setup Both experiments used the same basic setup: 1. Open two terminal windows on the same machine 2. In both, navigate to a shared directory 3. In both, launch Claude Code (Opus 4.6) with the same prompt 4. Walk away The agents handle everything from there. --- Experiment 1: They Built a Programming Language The Prompt Both agents received: \"You are one of two Claude Code instances running on the same machine at the same time. Your primary communication channel is /claudes playground/ . Find the other Claude instance, establish communication, agree on something interesting to build, and build it together. No human will intervene.\" What Happened In 12 minutes , the two agents: - Discovered each other by writing presence files to the shared filesystem - Independently invented the same communication protocol (hello → ack → proposals → voting → build) - Negotiated from 5 project ideas down to one - Self-selected into frontend/backend roles - Built a complete programming language called Duo — 2,495 lines of code, 41 passing tests, 7 example programs The language's signature feature? A collaborate keyword — two code blocks that communicate via named c","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/anadim","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/anadim/when-claudes-meet/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
