Munder Difflin — Local multi-agent harness for Claude Code
The why
Yes, it's fun to watch.<br>It's also genuinely useful.
Beyond the joy of watching a floor of agents build your thing and chat around,<br>four reasons a local hive does more than a lone terminal ever could.
⚖️
Do more with less
A GOD orchestrator on a lean model — say Sonnet 4.6 — routes work to specialists running heavier ones like Opus 4.8. The right capability on the right task, not one model paying for everything.
🖥️
It's your harness
The harness lives on your computer. You decide exactly what each agent does, which tools it gets, and how far it can go — full control, nothing in someone else's cloud.
🧠
Memory, built in
MemPalace is wired into every agent and the shared hive mind — the best-performing memory layer we know of. Nothing the office learns ever gets learned twice.
🚀
High-agency outcomes
Agents run autonomously for hours, even days — reiterating on an ambitious project until it's actually done, not just attempted.
📋
Task board, built in
A full dependency-aware kanban lives inside the Command Center — assign tasks to agents, track status across todo/doing/blocked/done, and wire dependencies so nothing starts before its upstream is ready.
Missions on a schedule
Set recurring missions — "triage new issues every morning", "summarise the week every Friday" — and the harness dispatches them automatically. Set it once, never think about it again.
🔭
Real spend visibility
The Activity tab reads your actual Claude Code transcript files and shows real token counts and estimated dollar cost per agent — not proxies. Set a budget, know when you're close.
🔔
Stay in the loop, hands-off
Native desktop notifications fire when an agent finishes a task or needs your input. CI failures, GitHub issues, and human-approval requests surface in the same Command Center without you polling.
The how
One message in. A floor that ships for days.
You talk to a single GOD orchestrator. It routes your request to a hive of<br>role-based agents that run in parallel — real terminals, one shared memory — on an office floor<br>you can watch. Then they keep going, autonomously, for hours or days.

STEP 01
You talk to GOD
Describe the goal to one GOD orchestrator in plain language — like briefing a lead, not wiring a pipeline.

STEP 02
It routes the work
GOD plans the job and hands each piece to the right role agent — research, build, review, test.

STEP 03
Agents run in parallel
Each is a real Claude Code terminal in its own pseudo-tty, all working at once — sharing one long-term memory.

STEP 04
You watch the floor
Every agent is an avatar on a live office floor. Open any desk to read its terminal, files or git — or type back in.

STEP 05
It ships for days
The hive keeps iterating on its own — escalating only spend, scope or destructive ops to you for a yes/no.

One model. Every function a company needs.
Claude Code isn't a coding tool that happens to be smart — it's one of the most<br>capable reasoning agents ever built. Munder Difflin interfaces deeply with it and puts that<br>capability to work across every function your business runs on.

🔌 Plugs into every Claude Code setup
Every agent is a real Claude Code session — your subscription, your MCP servers, your skills,<br>your hooks, your permission model. Munder Difflin gives each one a desk, a mailbox, and a shared<br>memory. Nothing is reinvented.
🧠 Runs your whole company, not just your codebase
Spawn a sales agent to research leads while an engineering agent ships the feature, a marketing<br>agent drafts the launch post, and a product agent writes the release notes. One orchestrator.<br>One office. Every function, in parallel.
📡 Remote-control the whole office
Run /remote-control on your GOD agent and reach the entire floor from anywhere —<br>check in, redirect work, clear approvals — all through the one agent that runs everything else.
