hivehouse

A Claude Code plugin that runs a software task with a team of Claude sessions in tmux: an orchestrator, the agents the task needs, reviews and gates before anything lands, context rotation, unattended overnight runs, and cleanup afterwards. A hub session in your work folder hands each task to its project's orchestrator and carries your words both ways.

Skills are instructions; every mechanical action is a tested bash executable in bin/.

Ask Claude to customise anything: roles, rules, skills' behaviour, options. The one exception is loosening delegate (away) mode, which takes one sudo paste from you. See Customise hivehouse.

Delegate mode

The default is relay mode: every start, wake and answer waits for you. Delegate mode is the mode the hub runs while you are away: it decides internal work inside your projects and keeps the teams running, and it keeps pushes, deploys and spending for you. It is on only while a file only you can write says so, for at most 7 days. Details, and what it guards and does not, are in Delegate mode (away); what you can allow it to do is in Customising what away mode allows.

What hivehouse runs and sends

hivehouse is bash scripts and a few hooks. One of them, hooks/hub.tsx, draws the hub's screen. Its hub_auto_start option is on by default: a plain claude started in the hub's folder then renames its session to hub and opens the hub, which takes one model turn. Apart from the push and the ssh below, it makes no network calls of its own, and it sends nothing to us. (The Claude sessions it starts talk to Anthropic like any Claude Code session.) This is everything it does outside its own files:
