Why it mattersTeams running Claude Code or Codex on many tasks at once now have a shared place to watch them.
A team sends an AI coding agent off to work. Then they lose track of what it is doing. HumanLayer puts every one of those sessions on one screen. It shows the plan the agent made and the diff it is writing. The project reached the top of Trendshift's daily list on 23 October. It has 11,893 stars and 969 forks on GitHub.
HumanLayer calls itself the best way to get AI coding agents to solve hard problems in complex codebases. The repository has been open since August 2024 and now holds 2,105 commits on the main branch. Its most recent commit was on 23 October. The code is Apache 2.0 and most of it is TypeScript. One piece is Rust, for the native macOS build.
What it does
The project has three parts. A desktop app, a web interface, and a small background program that runs on each machine where an agent works. That program copies the agent's session into the shared dashboard. A user then sees what the agent is reading, planning, and changing. HumanLayer says it supports Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi.
The repo also carries plugins for each of those agents, plus a Linear CLI. The background program can run on a laptop or on a cloud server. That lets one team watch an agent on a developer's own machine beside a long-running agent on a server.
The company's product page describes a six-step workflow called QRSPI. The steps are questions, research, design, structure, plan, and implement. The point is that a reader catches a bad plan before the agent writes code. The product site frames this as a reason not to outsource the thinking.
Pricing and plans
HumanLayer lists three plans on its pricing page. Starter is free, for up to three users and up to 200 sessions a month. Pro is $100 per user each month, with no limit on sessions. Enterprise is custom priced. It adds SSO, audit logs, and on-premises hosting. All three plans use the reader's own API keys for Claude Code and other models.
What this changes
A team that runs several AI coding agents at the same time now has a shared place to see them. One person can hand a task to an agent. Another person can read the plan before the agent writes the first line. The free tier makes it easy to try on a small team before paying. For a company already using Claude Code or Codex, the switch is one install and one shared workspace.
