Helps an AI coding agent work through a complex codebase with focused tools for analysing code, planning changes, debugging, reviewing code and writing pull request descriptions, plus handoff notes between sessions. The README says the code here is deprecated.

HumanLayer runs coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi) on your machines and lets your team steer them from one place: tasks, sessions, plans, and reviews, synced between a desktop app, a web app, and a daemon on each host.
This repo holds all of it. It's a Turborepo monorepo that uses Bun.
apps/riptide-ui: the app, as a web app and inside the desktop shellsapps/riptide-electron, apps/riptide-native: the macOS desktop apps (Electron, Tauri)apps/riptide-daemon: the daemon that runs agent sessions on a hostapps/cli: the humanlayer CLI, which also ships the daemonapps/riptide-api: the oRPC + Hono APIapps/riptide-electric-proxy: the auth proxy in front of Electric, which syncs Postgres to clientsapps/riptide-cloud: the admin web app (organizations, invites, settings, install page)apps/riptide-migrator, apps/updater-server, apps/stale-daemon-sweeper, apps/database-maintenance-function: AWS Lambda jobsapps/riptide-claude-code-plugin, apps/riptide-opencode-plugin, apps/riptide-pi-extension: plugins that mirror Claude Code, OpenCode, and Pi sessions into HumanLayerapps/riptide-humanlayer-claude-plugin: the built-in HumanLayer skillsapps/riptide-rpi-claude-plugin, apps/linear-cli: the Research-Plan-Implement skills and the Linear CLIapps/docs: the user docsapps/devstack: runs a full local stack per worktreepackages/: shared libraries (db, schemas, ui, sync, ai, billing, ...)contracts/: the oRPC and Effect RPC contracts between the appsYou need Bun and Docker. Building apps/riptide-native also needs Rust.
bun install
cp .env.example .env
bun --bun run typecheck
bun run test
bun --bun run devstack help explains how to run the whole stack locally. CONTRIBUTING.md lists every check a pull request must pass.
A build from source sends nothing to us: Sentry, PostHog, and the WorkOS client ID come from env, and stay off when unset. .env.example lists them.
HumanLayer Cloud runs this code. Guides for running it yourself are in progress.
⚠️ note - If you use the Docker Compose file as a starter for self hosting, please note that it uses default/simple passwords that should be updated before you deploy.

A development methodology for coding agents that makes the agent brainstorm before building, follow plans, run parallel work and finish branches in a disciplined way. You get fewer skipped steps and more consistent results from your coding assistant.
@obraHelps you take a change from a rough idea or bug report through to a tested, reviewed result, with each step handled by a focused skill. Its skills cover pinning down domain terms, designing module interfaces, diagnosing hard bugs, and reviewing changes against your repo's coding standards.
@mattpocockGives your coding agent a planning, testing and review routine to follow on every task. It plans before building, checks changes with tests, has a fresh reviewer look for regressions, and saves repeated wins as reusable skills.
@affaan-mDeveloper tools for working on the React codebase itself. Provides skills for extracting error messages, managing and debugging feature flags across release channels, running Flow type checks, and fixing lint and formatting issues before committing.
@facebookInstall it with the command on its page. It includes agent-browser, asd-ste100, better-github-skill. Its skills do not fire on their own yet. Free and open source.
