Cubicle

A live pixel-art office for your AI agents. Works with Paperclip, Claude Code, or any tool that can write a small JSON file.

Your agents get a desk. When one starts working it walks over, sits down and starts typing, with its current task floating above its head. When it needs you, it raises a hand. When it finishes it goes back to the lounge for a coffee. If it hits an error, its screen flashes red.

• Zero dependencies. One small Node.js file plus one HTML page. No build step, no image assets.
• Read-only by design. Cubicle only ever makes GET requests, and only to a short allowlist. It cannot change anything in your agent system.
• Not tied to one platform. Paperclip, Claude Code, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI are built in; anything else plugs in through a tiny JSON feed.
• GitHub Copilot Desktop and CLI sessions can join the office through the local exporter and hook examples.
• Runs anywhere Node runs. npx, a clone, a systemd unit, or a browser tab pointed at the hosted demo.
• Themes. The classic pixel office, or HD rooms: a holding HQ, a plaza office, a warehouse, a factory, a space base and a military operations room. Pick one from the ⚙ menu; a theme is one file anyone can add.
• Your people, your brand. Give any agent a real face from a photo (a wizard crops the head), a hairstyle, a skirt or heels; put your logo on the wall.
• Tells you when you're needed. Optional desktop notification and sound when an agent raises its hand, and a 30-second video recording of the office for sharing.
• Act on what you see. Answer an agent that is waiting for you, chat with it, open its task or its failed run, all from a panel beside it, without leaving the office.
• A KPI board for the tasks you gave: progress from subtasks, start dates and durations, the full subtask tree, expected finish times, what each one waits on, and 💡 speed-up advice measured from the task's own data that can become a Paperclip task.
• Your own desk, where agents that need you line up, and an optional Telegram bot that pings your phone and takes your answer.
• English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Chinese and Arabic UI (right to left), picked from your browser language, the ⚙ menu or ?lang=xx; words on the walls of the HD themes follow it.

Quick start

Requires Node.js 18+.

Paperclip (default; expects Paperclip at http://127.0.0.1:3100):

npx @caglarutkuguler/cubicle

Inside Paperclip — as a plugin, with its own menu entry and no separate server:

npx paperclipai plugin install @caglarutkuguler/cubicle

Open Cubicle in Paperclip's sidebar. Details in Inside Paperclip.

Claude Code (one character per session, driven by Claude Code's own hooks; details in examples/claude-code/):

npx @caglarutkuguler/cubicle install-hooks      # once; backs up ~/.claude/settings.json first
npx @caglarutkuguler/cubicle --source claude-code

Both in one office — Paperclip agents on the first rows, Claude Code sessions after them:

npx @caglarutkuguler/cubicle --source paperclip,claude-code

Anything else — a JSON file or URL in the feed format:
