GeezerVison is showing www.humanlayer.dev — HumanLayer - The multiplayer control plane for your software factory

The Multiplayer Coding Agent Workspace

HumanLayer is a multiplayer coding agent IDE and cloud that works seamlessly from your workstation to anywhere you want to run background agents.

It brings agent sessions, plan artifacts, and code diffs together in one place for your team to collaborate and ship.

HumanLayer ships composable pieces to meet software factory builders where they already are. Bring your own compute, development environment, and agent harness, or run the HumanLayer stack on your workstation or remote workers.

Full session visibility

You can’t do advanced context engineering without staying in touch with your context. HumanLayer optimizes for high-level orchestration, while letting you drill into every thinking message, every subagent tool call, and every code change.

From your laptop to the cloud

A local daemon runs many Agent sessions in parallel on your laptop. Spin up cloud daemons for long-running work. Everything syncs through the HumanLayer API — same UI on web, desktop, or phone, with your teammates one tab away. Agents keep working even if you close your laptop.

Do not outsource the thinking

Ensure alignment at every step and put engineers in the driver's seat for code quality and architecture.

Structured workflows give the agent every opportunity to show you what it's wrong about before moving to implementation.

QRSPI

A workflow that earns trust

Six phases that turn fuzzy intent into shipped code, with checkpoints your team can verify.

Q
01

Questions

Generate clarifying questions before any code is written.

R

Research

Map the codebase, dependencies, and surrounding patterns.

D

Design

Draft a design doc your team can comment on, in real-time.

Comment-Driven Design Reviews

Inline comments on design documents. Your whole team — humans and Agents — collaborating in real-time. Catch mistakes before they become 2,000 lines of code.

Why not just use a Notion or Google Doc? Because there, your design doc is disconnected from the work. In HumanLayer, comments and decisions feed straight back to the agents — the doc is the interface to the code, not a separate artifact you hope someone reads before shipping.

Design Review

Catch mistakes before code

Your whole team — humans and Agents — commenting on the design before a single line is written.

Kyle✓ resolved

This separation is causing the S/shift+S hotkey conflict. Can we share the same pure component?

Agent✓ resolved

Good catch — updated the design to use a shared SidebarWidget with configurable tabs.

S
Sarah✓ resolved

Can we move the sidebar to the left? Matches our other pages, puts navigation closer to the cursor.

A
Alex✓ resolved

We need to call the API for spline reticulation — widget can’t compute that locally.

Agent✓ resolved

Right — adding a SplineAPI call between setActiveTab and persist.

Alex✓ resolved

+1, this matches the session detail pattern. LGTM to proceed!

DESIGNsidebar-consolidation.md
Summary
Consolidate task and session sidebars into a shared component.
Task view should use the same multi-tab sidebar pattern as session view.
Persist per-task UI state (open, selected artifact, active tab) to localStorage.
Current State
- TaskDetailSidebarPanel: artifact viewer only, no tabs
- ConnectedSidebarWidget: multi-tab (minimap, artifacts, todos, summary, tips)
- S/shift+S cycles TaskDetailWidget tabs (NOT sidebar) — causes hotkey conflict
- Opening artifact replaces sidebar entirely — tabs disappear
- Mini artifacts table takes up horizontal space alongside TaskSummary
UI Mockup

IN PROGRESS

layout: sidebar-right
Technical Design
Desired End State
- Shared SidebarWidget with tabs: Artifacts, Summary, Auto-Advance
- Artifact viewer nested within artifacts tab, with back button
- Fullscreen artifact mode takes over entire sidebar
- TaskDetailWidget removed — top section becomes full width
- Sidebar docked to the right side of the task view
What we are not doing
- Todos tab (no single conversation context at task level)
- Minimap tab (no conversation events to visualize)
- Tips tab (RPI phase derived from session.labels, not task)
- New zustand store — keep useLocalStorage pattern

FAQ

Do I bring my own AI subscription, or pay for tokens?

Bring your own. Plug in your existing Claude, Codex, and other AI subscriptions or API keys (BYOK) — there's no separate HumanLayer per-token bill to reason about.

Which agents and models are supported?

Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Fireworks, with new models/subscription providers added regularly.

Why not just use Notion or Google Docs for design reviews?

You can, but those are part of a fragmented, manual, pre-AI world. In HumanLayer, comments and decisions feed directly back to the agents, so your design docs live in the IDE, directly integrated with the implementation.

I already have my own skills and workflows

Today, HumanLayer supports a variety of RPI and experimental workflows, and we're actively working on ways for you to bring your own skills and workflows into HumanLayer.

Why not just stitch these workflows and tools together myself?

You can — but you'll spend months in the exploration phase trying things and seeing what sticks. HumanLayer is an opinionated system of agents that you can stand up in 10 minutes. We build HumanLayer with HumanLayer, so we know it works, and we've spent hundreds of hours working in the trenches with customers making the prompts and workflows "squishy" - that is, flexible to a broad range of problems and inputs, so there's no holding it wrong.

Is there a free plan?

Yes - the Starter plan is free for teams of three or less.

Is HumanLayer open source?

Not yet, but we'll be open-sourcing some of the building blocks in the coming weeks and months. Our Research, Plan, Implement (RPI) framework is already open source.
