Ephemeral-AI-Lab / layerfs
Ephemeral Workspaces, durable shared history. LayerFS gives every agent a complete, writable filesystem Workspace over shared committed history, without copying the base. Agents work in parallel, commit what changed as deduplicated checkpoints, then branch, rewind or merge. Try it with LayerFS × DSH.
Why this job: works in the areas we cover, but does not say which job it does
What it does
LayerFS is the substrate under your agents. Each one mounts a complete, writable Workspace over shared committed history, does its work, commits what it changed, and goes away.
