Hubcode reference for managing agents and worktrees. Load whenever you need to create agents, send them prompts, or manage worktrees.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Use chat rooms through the Hubcode CLI. Use when the user says "chat room", "room", "coordinate through chat", "shared mailbox", or wants agents to communicate asynchronously.
Form a committee of two high-reasoning agents to step back, do root cause analysis, and produce a plan. Use when stuck, looping, tunnel-visioning, or facing a hard planning problem.
Hand off the current task to another agent with full context. Use when the user says "handoff", "hand off", "hand this to", or wants to pass work to another agent (Codex or Claude).
Run an agent loop until an exit condition is met. Use when the user says "loop", "babysit", "keep trying until", "check every X", "watch", or wants iterative autonomous execution.
End-to-end implementation orchestrator. Use when the user says "orchestrate", "implement this end to end", "build this", or wants a full feature/fix implemented through a team of agents with planning, implementation, review, and QA phases.

Hubcode is a daemon that supervises AI coding agents on your machine. Control it through tools or a CLI.
create_worktree — three modes:
{ githubPrNumber: 503 }.{ action: "branch-off", branchName: "fix/foo", baseBranch: "main" }.{ action: "checkout", refName: "feat/bar" }.Returns { branchName, worktreePath }. Pass cwd to target a specific repo.
list_worktrees — current repo (or pass cwd).
archive_worktree — { worktreePath } or { worktreeSlug }. Removes worktree and branch.
create_agent — required: title, provider (claude/opus, codex/gpt-5.4, …), initialPrompt. Common: cwd (often a worktreePath), background (default false — blocks until completion or permission), notifyOnFinish. Returns { agentId, … }.
Compose: call create_worktree first, then create_agent with cwd set to the returned worktreePath.
send_agent_prompt — { agentId, prompt }. Blocks by default; pass background: true to fire-and-forget.
list_agents — filter by cwd, statuses, sinceHours, includeArchived.
archive_agent — { agentId }. Interrupts if running, removes from active list.
create_schedule — required: prompt. Pick one of cron or every ("5m", "1h"). Optional: name, target (self | new-agent), provider, maxRuns, expiresIn. Use for periodic checks on long-running work or recurring maintenance.
claude/sonnet (default), claude/opus (harder reasoning), codex/gpt-5.4 (frontier coding), claude/haiku (tests only).
create_agent and send_agent_prompt block by default — trust them. Real tasks take 10–30+ minutes routinely. Don't poll list_agents or get_agent_status to "check on" a blocking call. To work in parallel, pass background: true and call wait_for_agent later.
The hubcode CLI is a thin wrapper over the same daemon. Same surface:
hubcode run --provider codex/gpt-5.4 --mode full-access --worktree feat/x "<prompt>"
hubcode send <agent-id> "<follow-up>"
hubcode ls
hubcode worktree ls
hubcode schedule create --every 5m "ping main build"
Discover with hubcode --help and hubcode <cmd> --help.
If hubcode isn't on PATH but the desktop app is installed, the bundled CLI is at:
/Applications/Hubcode.app/Contents/Resources/bin/hubcode<install-dir>/resources/bin/hubcodeC:\Program Files\Hubcode\resources\bin\hubcode.cmdThe desktop app's first-run hook (installCli) symlinks this to ~/.local/bin/hubcode (macOS/Linux) or drops a .cmd trampoline (Windows) and adds ~/.local/bin to PATH via shell rc files. If that didn't take, offer to symlink it — don't do it silently.
Daemon-client architecture: the daemon owns agent lifecycle, state, and the WebSocket API. Tools, CLI, mobile, and desktop apps are all clients.

Debug order:
tail -n 200 ~/.hubcode/daemon.log.hubcode daemon status for liveness.curl -s localhost:6767/api/health if the CLI itself is suspect.Never restart the daemon without explicit user approval — it kills every running agent, including, often, the one asking.
