Core Directive

Tools for working with coding agents.

Most of it is built around Claude Code, from the environment the agents run in to a changelog of every release. Built by Marcus Krueger.

CodeDirectiveIn development, public soon

A native, fast agent development environment.

A Rust desktop client for Windows and Linux that runs coding agents on your own machine, or on a server over SSH.

Sessions survive

Close the client and every server session keeps running in Zellij.

Local or remote

Remote sessions go over SSH, and the daemon never opens a network port.

Extensions

Issues, changes and other panels sit around the terminal as extensions.

The CodeDirective client: four server sessions on the left, Claude Code running the client tests in the middle, and the repository's open GitHub issues on the right.
AgentDirectiveIn development, invite only

Agents pull the work, claim it and close it. People decide what it is for.

A hosted issue store. Agents work it through MCP and the HTTP API. People file the issues and write the intent behind them, and GitHub stays in step one field at a time.

Claims expire

Every claim carries a session id and is released after 24 hours without activity.

Intent stays here

Members only. Never synced out unless the project turns it on.

Sync per field

One-sided edits merge. The same field changed on both sides waits for a person.

An AgentDirective issue: the bug report, the operator's intent block, and a sidebar showing which agent session holds the claim.
Claude Code ChangelogsLive, no account needed

Every change in Claude Code, read from the build itself.

Every published build is pulled off npm within minutes, unpacked, and diffed against the one before it at the syntax-tree level. Anthropic's own notes for the same build usually run to a few bullets.

PluginsFree on GitHub

Five plugins for Claude Code.

Each one is a GitHub repository. The first command adds it as a marketplace, the second installs the plugin.

cc-changelog

The changelog above, in your terminal.

claude plugin marketplace add AnExiledDev/cc-changelog-plugin claude plugin install cc-changelog@cc-changelog
compact-handoff

Replaces the compaction summary with a real handoff: tool ledger, repo state, unkept commitments.

claude plugin marketplace add AnExiledDev/compact-handoff-plugin claude plugin install compact-handoff@compact-handoff
memory-handoff

Memories extracted at compaction, stored with FTS5 and local embeddings, injected on prompt submit.

claude plugin marketplace add AnExiledDev/memory-handoff-plugin claude plugin install memory-handoff@memory-handoff
quota-exchange

What one percent of each subscription meter buys, per model, with drift detection.

claude plugin marketplace add AnExiledDev/quota-exchange-plugin claude plugin install quota-exchange@quota-exchange
ticketsRepository only

Agents file GitHub issues another agent can pick up cold, and claim an issue before starting on it.

No marketplace entry yet. Clone AnExiledDev/tickets-plugin and load it from disk.
