Codeflow / start here

One dashboard for long AI coding jobs.

Codeflow helps you watch the work, reopen the saved case, and inspect the evidence before you trust the result.

Use the repo, docs, the macOS desktop shell, and a secure read-only protocol view to inspect the same job from request to evidence.

Need the adoption map instead of the shortest proof story? Choose the right adoption path.

Workflow case

The saved record of one job, so you can reopen the same work later.

Proof & Replay

The evidence and rerun view, so humans can inspect what happened.

Read-only protocol view

The MCP layer for inspection only, not for write-capable mutation.

Codeflow Command Tower read-back showing live queue posture, blocker risk, and proof-ready state

Live board read-back: queue posture, blocker risk, and proof-ready state stay visible instead of hiding behind shell output.

Watch the command-tower teaser first if you want the shortest product read before opening deeper docs and matrices.

Read the teaser transcript

Stop babysitting AI coding work. AI coding does not lack models. It lacks a command tower. Codeflow turns one request into one live board and one proof trail you can inspect. Keep the handoff visible from the web board to the macOS desktop shell, then start with one proven workflow before opening deeper docs. Public boundary today: repo-backed, proof-first, macOS desktop shell, and read-only MCP.

Current boundary Repo front door, docs, macOS shell, and a read-only protocol view

Start with one visible workflow and one evidence trail before deciding whether the stack fits your team.

Shipped now One proven workflow, one teaser, and a clear first path

The first honest public story is the workflow guide, the live teaser, and the product surfaces that let you inspect the run.

Not live yet Hosted operator and write-capable distribution stay deferred

Hosted service, public write-capable MCP, Docker distribution, and standalone npm releases still sit outside today's promise.

Read the exact current contract

Current boundary: Codeflow is a repo-backed command tower with proof-first docs, a macOS desktop shell, and a read-only MCP lane. Hosted operator and write-capable MCP stay outside the current promise. Exact contract today: repo-backed operator control plane, not a hosted product, and the shipped MCP surface remains read-only.

What happens after one request?

1 / Plan

Start from a real request

Write down the job, the constraints, and the finish bar before the run starts.

2 / Delegate

Queue the work on one board

Move the request into a live record so the next step stays visible when humans step away.

3 / Track

See progress and blockers first

Start from the live board so you can see which lane is moving and which lane needs attention.

4 / Resume

Reopen the same case later

Resume from the saved case record instead of rebuilding context from scattered notes and chat history.

5 / Prove

Inspect proof before you trust it

The loop closes only when evidence, replay, and operator judgment all line up.

Start with one proven workflow

If you only open one door after the hero, open the first proven workflow. It is the shortest path from “what is this?” to “show me one real example.”

Fastest real path

Run the smallest repo-local loop first, then confirm the live board and evidence trail before trusting anything else.

Official baseline

The first public example stays small and release-proven. The broader proof paths still exist, but they are follow-on expansions rather than the first promise.

What you can use today

Shipped now

The repo front door, docs with evidence, the first proven workflow, the teaser, and the read-only protocol view make up the public core you can inspect today.

Starter-only

Starter kits and local bundle examples help teams adopt the stack, but they are not automatic first-party plugin listings.

Explicitly deferred

Hosted operator service, write-capable MCP, Docker distribution, and standalone npm releases still sit outside the current official promise.

Need the exact shipped/starter/internal/deferred ledger instead of the short version? Open the distribution status.

External submission receipts still exist, but they live on the distribution page rather than in the front-door story.

See exact workflow names

news_digest remains the official public baseline, while topic_brief and page_brief stay tracked proof expansions rather than equal first-party baselines.

FAQ

Is Codeflow an official Codex or Claude Code plugin?

Not today. The current public contract is the repo front door, proof-first docs, a read-only MCP lane, repo-owned skills, and local starter materials rather than a published plugin listing.

Is the public MCP surface write-capable?

Codeflow's current public MCP contract is read-only, and write-capable mutation remains outside the public promise.

Where does OpenClaw fit today?

OpenClaw stays in the adjacent coding-agent layer. New teams should use the compatibility matrix, integration guide, and repo-owned skills path before implying a shipped native plugin.

What should a new team open first?

Start with the compatibility matrix if the main question is which adoption path fits your stack. Then choose read-only MCP, skills, builders, or the first success path based on the real job.

Pick the next door

Keep the first decision simple. Start with one proven workflow, then open only the next surface that matches the job.

First proven workflow

The shortest honest start is still repo-local. The host-compatible path stays:

  1. npm run bootstrap:host
  2. CODEFLOW_HOST_COMPAT=1 bash scripts/test_quick.sh --no-related
  3. npm run dev

This local full-stack path boots the orchestrator API on localhost together with the dashboard, so the browser can exercise the operator loop without relying on a browser-side bearer token.

In practice, a clean first pass should take about 5-10 minutes and end with four visible signals: one request created from PM, one case visible in Command Tower, one Workflow Case you can confirm, and one Proof & Replay surface you can inspect before trusting the result.

If the API is already running in another terminal, you can still use npm run dashboard:dev for dashboard-only iteration on the web shell.

Official first public path: start with news_digest if you want the smallest release-proven proof loop. Treat topic_brief as a tracked search-backed proof expansion, and treat page_brief as a tracked browser-backed proof expansion that still is not the official first public baseline or equally release-proven with news_digest.

news_digest

Best for the fastest proof-oriented first run with one topic, a few domains, and a short time window.

Proof state: official public baseline.

topic_brief

Best for a bounded topic brief when you want search-backed evidence without broadening scope.

Proof state: release-proven secondary search-backed public path; not the official first public baseline.

page_brief

Best for a single URL with browser-backed evidence and a read-only workflow case wrapper.

Proof state: release-proven secondary browser-backed public path; not the official first public baseline.
