Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor — one operating standard

One Agent Is a Tool. A Managed Repository Ships.

Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor are powerful alone. Claudia gives them one practice, durable context, a manager for every repository, and the record to prove it.

Two modes

How You Run Your Agents

Same agents. Supervision is the difference.

Solo Mode

One agent, working alone

Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor — each is a capable editor or terminal agent. Powerful in a session. Reactive, prompt-driven, and only as consistent as the person steering it.

Claudia

The same agents, managed

The same agents with one delivery practice, durable repository context, and a responsibility contract — plus one scheduled Hermes manager per repository and GitHub as the record.

Side by side

What Changes with Claudia

Claudia doesn't replace your coding agents — it gives them a standard and a record.

Work style

Solo Mode

Reactive — waits for your prompt, one agent at a time

Claudia

A repository manager owns each objective; Hermes runs one scheduled manager per repository while you sleep

Task scope

Solo Mode

Full coding tasks within a single session

Claudia

Independent skills from product direction to deploy and writing; a build can carry an objective end to end

Memory

Solo Mode

Session context plus local config files

Claudia

GitHub as the record plus a versioned brain per repository

Proactive work

Solo Mode

None — needs prompting

Claudia

A scheduled manager works the issues you have labelled ready; it never invents work on an empty queue

Quality review

Solo Mode

Self-review within the session

Claudia

Review depth chosen from the risk; an independent reviewer when it adds confidence

Oversight model

Solo Mode

You review everything manually, every time

Claudia

Owner-groomed ready admission for unattended work; human floors that never move

Merge authority

Solo Mode

You merge everything yourself

Claudia

The repository manager merges after an exact-head check; delegated workers return evidence and never merge

Governance

Solo Mode

Whatever discipline you bring yourself

Claudia

One responsibility contract, delivered as a versioned release you can read

Multi-repo

Solo Mode

One project at a time

Claudia

Claudia keeps priorities, dependencies, and decisions coherent across repositories

Mobile access

Solo Mode

Desktop IDE or terminal only

Claudia

Steer and answer decision requests in a Slack thread; read the PR on GitHub mobile

Communication

Solo Mode

In-editor or terminal chat

Claudia

Slack carries conversation and decision requests; GitHub keeps the record

Market discipline

Solo Mode

Out of scope

Claudia

Six marketing skills: frame, reach, surface, compose, lifecycle, measure

The key difference

Claudia is not another agent

It's the supervised operating system for the agents you already run. Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor do the coding, Hermes keeps a manager on each repository while you are away, GitHub keeps the record, and Claudia supplies the practice, context, and boundaries that make the whole thing coherent.

Ready

Is the Only Unattended Gate

New unattended implementation starts only from an issue the owner has groomed and labelled ready. Attended work needs no such gate.

One

Scheduled Manager per Repository

What the private reference portfolio has recorded: six scheduled repository managers active on Hermes, each verified with read-only wakes against its repository in September 2026.

Managers

Merge. Workers Return.

A repository manager may implement and merge its own authorized work after proportionate checks and an exact-head confirmation against the current base. Delegated workers return evidence to their manager and never merge.

Claudia arrives as a versioned release your repositories subscribe to. Your repositories, your agents, your control.
