Why clnode?

Claude Code's multi-agent mode has a fundamental limitation: agents can't communicate with each other. Every result must flow through the Leader agent, and after a few review cycles, the Leader's context explodes.

clnode solves this by using Claude Code's own hook system to create a shared memory layer:

No wrapper. No custom framework. Just a plugin that fills the gap.

Quick Start

For Claude Code Users

Just ask Claude Code to run this:

Claude will read the guide and install clnode automatically.
Restart your Claude Code session after init — hooks activate on session start.

For VS Code Users

Install clnode for VSCode from the Marketplace.

For Development

Features

No MCP Required

Pure hook-based implementation. No external MCP servers, no complex setup — just npx clnode init . and you're done.

Smart Context Injection

Not just recent context — relevant context:

Context Compression

Automatic 2-layer output compression (skill + hook). Agents self-compress to 10-line [COMPRESSED] format. See Compression.

Token Analytics

Track token usage per agent. See exactly how much each subagent costs in the Web UI dashboard.

6-Stage Kanban

idea → planned → pending → in_progress → needs_review → completed

Visual task tracking with automatic status updates when agents start/stop.

Review Loop Protocol

Structured feedback cycle: Implement → Review → Fix → Re-review (user decides when to stop). Prevents infinite loops.
