Claude Colony

About

Claude Colony is a powerful orchestration system designed to manage teams of AI agents working collaboratively on software development. Built upon Claude Code's native agent system, it allows users to spawn specialist AI teams within `tmux` panes, observe their side-by-side progress, and intervene when necessary. Agents communicate via a transparent file-based message broker, offering a clear, "no black box" approach to multi-agent workflow, making complex project development more manageable and observable.

Key Features

• File-based message broker for transparent inter-agent communication
• Real-time agent status monitoring and shared context management
• Tmux-based multi-agent orchestration and visualization
• Pre-configured and customizable agent team presets for diverse tasks
• 3 GitHub stars
• Native Claude Code agent system integration for custom agents

Use Cases

• Automating and accelerating specific development tasks like API design, UI implementation, or documentation generation
• Collaborative software development using specialized AI agent teams (e.g., full-stack, frontend, backend)
• Managing and observing complex multi-agent workflows in a structured terminal environment
