The READMEs never said tmux was needed, so a fresh install only found out when Start Run failed with nothing explaining why. Both doctors were silent about it too. - README/README.vi: a prerequisites table (node, npm, git, tmux, claude, codex, gh, systemd) and per-OS tmux install + verify steps; the feature list is regrouped into observe/drive/configure and now covers analytics, alerts, import, remote sources, the config explorer and Update all. - INSTALL: Step 0 for the system packages, plus a troubleshooting entry separating "tmux missing" from "the server has a different PATH". - SETUP/docs/README: the same troubleshooting entry and a pointer to Step 0. - plugin-doctor: a tmux row, WARN and never FAIL - the run console and `lanes shell` break without it, nothing else does. Reuses tmux.js's own isTmuxAvailable(). - agenthub doctor: asks GET /api/run/tmux instead, because the PATH that decides whether a run starts is the server's, not the caller's shell's.

# AgentHub
|
|
|
|
Internal SmartGift build. Local-first **control surface** for Claude Code agents —
|
|
monitoring is one part of it, not the whole. Hooks POST every tool call to an
|
|
Express + SQLite server and a React UI updates over WebSocket; **lanes** track
|
|
parallel agent work through a pipeline; and the `agenthub` CLI drives real terminal
|
|
sessions, lane runtimes, and Claude Code's own configuration.
|
|
|
|
AgentHub records and shows — it does not orchestrate. The session in control makes
|
|
every decision.
|
|
|
|
Internal build — all rights reserved.
|
|
|
|
*(Tiếng Việt: [README.vi.md](README.vi.md))*
|
|
|
|
## Main features
|
|
|
|
**Observe**
|
|
|
|
- **Sessions, agents, events.** Everything Claude Code emits, recorded and
|
|
searchable: tool calls, token usage, cost, subagent trees, transcripts.
|
|
- **Analytics and cost.** Per-model token totals and estimated cost, with
|
|
editable pricing rules; top tools, agent types, and workflow patterns.
|
|
- **Activity feed and alerts.** A live event stream, alert rules, and webhook
|
|
targets that fire on them.
|
|
- **History import.** Every session under `~/.claude/projects/` is imported on
|
|
startup; archives from another machine come in through Settings → Import
|
|
History (idempotent, never double-counts tokens).
|
|
- **Remote sources.** Pull session history from other machines over SSH
|
|
(`agenthub remote-sources`).
|
|
|
|
**Drive**
|
|
|
|
- **Lanes.** One lane per working directory, surviving session restarts. A lane
|
|
moves through pipeline stages and the dashboard shows where it is.
|
|
- **Stage detection.** The stage is inferred from the tool stream, so a session
|
|
that never calls `agenthub stage` still shows progress — rendered dashed amber and
|
|
never as done, because an inference is not evidence.
|
|
- **Run Claude Code or Codex from the browser.** A real terminal (tmux + a real
|
|
PTY, rendered with xterm.js) attached to a lane's directory — the exact TUI
|
|
you'd see locally, fully interactive, resumable, and attachable from a real
|
|
terminal too via `agenthub lanes shell`. Which CLI it starts is the lane's own
|
|
setting. **This is the part that needs `tmux` installed** — see
|
|
[Prerequisites](#prerequisites).
|
|
- **Per-lane app stacks.** A repo that declares `.agenthub/profile/` gets its own
|
|
slot, ports and services per lane (`agenthub lanes up|down|logs`).
|
|
- **Ship pipelines.** `/agenthub:ship-full` and `/agenthub:ship-quick` drive a
|
|
feature from intake to PR, declaring every stage to the dashboard as it goes.
|
|
|
|
**Configure**
|
|
|
|
- **Claude Code + Codex configuration explorer.** Settings hosts one panel per
|
|
tool: every plugin, skill, subagent, slash command, MCP server, hook, settings
|
|
file, memory file, marketplace, keybinding and statusline Claude Code knows
|
|
about — read for all of them, edit/create/delete for the text-file surfaces
|
|
(skills, agents, commands, output styles, `CLAUDE.md`). Plugins, MCP, hooks and
|
|
`settings.json` stay read-only: they race with the live CLI.
|
|
- **Updates.** Release-based update detection with an in-UI **Update all**
|
|
(marketplaces → every plugin → AgentHub last → one session reload).
|
|
- **A CLI for all of it** (`agenthub`, plus `agenthub repl`), a PWA install, and
|
|
a UI in English, Vietnamese, Chinese and Korean.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
| Need | Version | Required for |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| **Node.js** | >= 20 (>= 22.5 for a plugin install) | Everything. Node **24** is what the test suites are verified on |
|
|
| **npm** | 9+ | Ships with Node |
|
|
| **git** | any | Cloning, and every lane operation (worktrees, branch/status reads) |
|
|
| **tmux** | 3.x | The browser run console, `agenthub lanes shell`, typing `/reload-plugins` into a live pane, the Codex nudge |
|
|
| **Claude Code** | 2.x | Hook ingestion — the whole monitoring side |
|
|
| **Codex CLI** | any | Optional — only for `codex` lanes |
|
|
| **GitHub CLI (`gh`)** | any | Optional — only for `agenthub lanes ci status` and the PR stages of the ship pipelines |
|
|
| **systemd (user)** | — | Optional — only for `agenthub service install` (Linux auto-start on boot) |
|
|
|
|
Node 25 currently breaks 6 server tests through a better-sqlite3 ABI mismatch
|
|
and 20 client tests through a global `localStorage` change — stay on 20/22/24.
|
|
|
|
### Installing tmux
|
|
|
|
The dashboard shells out to the `tmux` binary; there is no bundled fallback, so
|
|
**Start Run** and `agenthub lanes shell` fail without it. Everything else
|
|
(sessions, analytics, lanes, stage detection, the CLI) works fine.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install tmux # Debian / Ubuntu
|
|
sudo dnf install tmux # Fedora / RHEL
|
|
brew install tmux # macOS
|
|
sudo pacman -S tmux # Arch
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Windows has no native tmux — run AgentHub under WSL2 and install it there.
|
|
|
|
Verify, both from your shell and from the server's point of view:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tmux -V # e.g. tmux 3.4
|
|
curl -s localhost:4820/api/run/tmux # {"available":true}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A lane's run lives in a tmux session named `agenthub-lane-<id>`, so the browser
|
|
terminal and a local `tmux attach -t agenthub-lane-<id>` (or `agenthub lanes
|
|
shell`) are two clients on the same pane — they stay in sync, and killing the
|
|
dashboard never kills the run.
|
|
|
|
### The superpowers plugin
|
|
|
|
The **`superpowers` plugin is required by the ship-feature pipelines only**, not
|
|
by the dashboard. `/agenthub:ship-feature` and `/agenthub:ship-feature-lane` drive
|
|
`superpowers:brainstorming`, `writing-plans`, `test-driven-development`,
|
|
`requesting-code-review` and `verification-before-completion` phase by phase,
|
|
and both built-in pipeline templates name those same slash commands as their
|
|
per-node drivers. Without it the dashboard, hooks and CLI all work
|
|
normally — the two pipeline skills are what stop partway. `/agenthub-doctor` reports
|
|
it as a `WARN` row.
|
|
|
|
**You do not normally have to install it.** The plugin's `SessionStart`
|
|
bootstrap installs it for you, once, in its detached worker — so a session never
|
|
waits on the clone, and the current session needs `/reload-plugins` before the
|
|
skills resolve (any later session picks them up on its own). The outcome is
|
|
logged to `~/.claude/agenthub/runtime/bootstrap.log`, and `/agenthub-update`
|
|
retries a failed one. To install it by hand instead, or after opting out:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
claude plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set `AGENTHUB_AUTO_INSTALL_PLUGINS=0` to opt out of the automatic install. Only the
|
|
plugins on a fixed allowlist in `server/lib/skill-plugins.js` are ever installed
|
|
this way — `superpowers` today. A custom pipeline template naming some other
|
|
plugin's command is *reported* by `/agenthub-doctor` and never installed, because a
|
|
template is a file anyone can drop into `DASHBOARD_PIPELINES_DIR`.
|
|
|
|
## Install as a Claude Code plugin
|
|
|
|
Two commands on a machine that has nothing but Claude Code, no clone and no
|
|
`npm run setup`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/plugin marketplace add https://git.smartgift.io.vn/Smartgift-AI/AgentHub.git
|
|
/plugin install agenthub@agenthub
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The first session start installs the hooks, boots the server, puts `agenthub` on
|
|
PATH; it runs detached, so the session never waits on
|
|
it. `/agenthub-doctor` reports the state, `/agenthub-open` builds the UI and prints the
|
|
URL, `/agenthub-update` refreshes after a plugin update. This path needs Node
|
|
**>= 22.5** (no native `better-sqlite3`, so the server uses `node:sqlite`).
|
|
Details, including what to delete on uninstall:
|
|
[`docs/PLUGINS.md`](docs/PLUGINS.md).
|
|
|
|
## Install from a checkout
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run setup # root and client dependencies
|
|
npm run build # builds the client into client/dist
|
|
npm start # serves the built client and the API on :4820
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open <http://localhost:4820>.
|
|
|
|
Development, with hot reload:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run dev # server on :4820, Vite client on :5173
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`DASHBOARD_PORT` overrides the port, `DASHBOARD_CLIENT_DIST` overrides where the
|
|
built UI is served from (defaults to `client/dist`; the plugin install points it
|
|
at its own runtime directory). `postinstall` writes the Claude Code hook entries
|
|
that feed the dashboard — do not run it when the `agenthub` plugin is installed, or
|
|
every event is counted twice.
|
|
|
|
### Run as a service (auto-start on boot)
|
|
|
|
`npm start` only runs while that terminal (or `agenthub start`'s background
|
|
process) is alive — a reboot loses it. On Linux, `agenthub service install` sets
|
|
up a systemd `--user` service instead, so `:4820` is up again on its own after
|
|
every reboot, with no manual step and no Claude Code (or any AI tool) needed
|
|
to trigger it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run build # the service serves the built client, same as npm start
|
|
agenthub service install # writes + enables ~/.config/systemd/user/agenthub.service
|
|
agenthub service status # systemctl --user status agenthub
|
|
agenthub service uninstall # disable and remove it
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`agenthub service install` also tries `loginctl enable-linger` so the service
|
|
starts on a cold boot, before anyone logs in; if that needs elevated rights on
|
|
your machine it prints the `sudo loginctl enable-linger <user>` command to run
|
|
once yourself. Plugin installs get the same persistence automatically — see
|
|
[Auto-start on boot](docs/PLUGINS.md#auto-start-on-boot) in `docs/PLUGINS.md`.
|
|
|
|
## The CLI
|
|
|
|
`agenthub` is linked by `npm run setup`; otherwise call `node bin/agenthub.js`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
agenthub status # is the dashboard up
|
|
agenthub start # start it in the background and wait for healthy
|
|
agenthub service install # auto-start on boot via systemd --user (Linux)
|
|
agenthub sessions # recent sessions
|
|
agenthub lanes # lanes with stage and progress
|
|
agenthub lanes pipeline # this lane's pipeline template, or switch it
|
|
agenthub lanes node <id> # run ONE pipeline node's own command (no id: list them)
|
|
# (in a session: /intake, /qc, /ship-full, /ship-quick …)
|
|
agenthub stage <name> # declare the current lane's stage
|
|
agenthub tail # live event feed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`agenthub --help` lists the rest.
|
|
|
|
## Lanes
|
|
|
|
A lane is a working directory the dashboard watches. Two kinds:
|
|
|
|
- **adopted** — a directory you already had. The dashboard only reads it; it is
|
|
never reset or deleted.
|
|
- **managed** — a git worktree the dashboard created under `LANES_ROOT`. It owns
|
|
the full lifecycle and may reset or remove it, behind a three-check destroy
|
|
guard and a counted preflight the caller has to echo back.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
agenthub lanes add --cwd /path/to/repo --title "My feature" # adopt
|
|
agenthub lanes add --repo /path/to/repo --slug my-feature # managed worktree
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Every lane also carries the CLI that drives it — `claude` (the default) or
|
|
`codex` — picked in the Add-lane modal and fixed for the life of the lane. A
|
|
Codex lane's run panel offers Codex's own sandbox, approval and reasoning-effort
|
|
choices, and resumes with `codex resume --last`. Codex emits none of this
|
|
dashboard's hooks, so a Codex lane records its runs but stays absent from
|
|
Sessions and Analytics. Its **stage detection** works anyway, from Codex's own
|
|
rollout journals on disk (`$CODEX_HOME/sessions/**/rollout-*.jsonl`, polled every
|
|
`DASHBOARD_CODEX_POLL_MS` ms, default 15000), and on a Codex lane a detection
|
|
also **advances the declared stage** — the one place an inference moves the blue
|
|
`current` ring, because a Codex session has no hook and nothing else would ever
|
|
move it. What a Codex lane cannot get for free is *evidence*: an auto-advanced
|
|
node stays amber (`passed-no-evidence`), never green, since only the session
|
|
itself can say what it finished. Three things help it get there: the run console
|
|
pre-fills a codex pane's opening prompt with a stage-declaration checklist built
|
|
from its own pipeline nodes, `agenthub lanes agents install` writes the same
|
|
instructions as a marker-delimited block in the lane's `AGENTS.md`, and a 60s
|
|
sweep (`DASHBOARD_CODEX_NUDGE_MS`, `0` disables) types a one-line reminder into
|
|
a lane's pane if its current stage sits without evidence for more than two
|
|
minutes.
|
|
|
|
The declared stage comes from `agenthub stage`. The inferred stage comes from tool
|
|
events and expires after `DETECTION_TTL_MS` (default 5 minutes), so a lane can
|
|
move backwards between work sessions. Detection never writes the declared stage,
|
|
and an inferred node never renders as done.
|
|
|
|
A lane's pipeline template can be switched after creation — `agenthub lanes
|
|
pipeline <template>` from the terminal, or the pipeline-template picker next to
|
|
the lane's title in the Workspace detail panel. Both re-resolve the lane's
|
|
current declared stage against the new template's nodes and warn if it no
|
|
longer matches one.
|
|
|
|
A lane can also run **its own application stack**, isolated per lane, when its
|
|
repository declares a profile at `<repo>/.agenthub/profile/` — a `profile.env` of
|
|
declarations plus shell hooks the dashboard calls. Each lane gets a slot, and its
|
|
ports and per-lane directories derive from it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
agenthub lanes up # boot the stack of the lane owning this directory
|
|
agenthub lanes runtime # slot, ports, service health
|
|
agenthub lanes logs api # tail a service log
|
|
agenthub lanes down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Services are fully detached, so restarting the dashboard never stops a running
|
|
lane. This is resource namespacing on the host, not a container: lanes run as the
|
|
same user and share the network.
|
|
|
|
[`docs/LANES.md`](docs/LANES.md) has the pipeline model, the destroy guard, the
|
|
preflight contract, the Workspace page, `GET /api/lanes/:id/git`, and the full
|
|
runtime/profile contract.
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run test:server # node:test
|
|
npm run test:client # Vitest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both must be green before a commit; the pre-commit hook runs them plus Prettier.
|
|
|
