farmer is an npm package that intercepts tool-call permission requests from AI coding agents and routes them to a mobile-friendly dashboard. Instead of watching a terminal scroll as Claude Code or another agent quietly runs shell commands, you get a swipe-card view on your phone where each pending tool call shows the command, its arguments, and the agent's reasoning — and you approve or deny with a swipe. The architecture is deliberately simple: farmer acts as a hook in the agent's tool-call loop, holds execution until you respond, then forwards your decision back. It ships with a Claude Code adapter out of the box and a documented adapter interface for other agents. The mobile UI is a PWA, so there's nothing to install — just navigate to the local server address in Safari or Chrome. For developers running long agentic sessions — overnight refactors, automated test generation, or repo-wide migrations — farmer fills a real gap. Current tools either block the terminal or run with blind trust. farmer offers a middle path: human-in-the-loop control without requiring you to be physically at your machine.

Teams-first multi-agent orchestration for Claude Code

oh-my-claudecode (OMC) is a plugin and CLI framework that adds intelligent multi-agent orchestration to Claude Code. It introduces a staged Team Mode pipeline where 19 specialized Claude agents collaborate on shared task lists—routing simple work to Haiku while sending complex reasoning to Opus—cutting token spend by 30–50% without sacrificing quality. The system ships with magic keywords that unlock escalating levels of autonomy: `ralph` for a persistent task-completion loop, `ulw` for ultra-work mode, and `autopilot` for fully hands-off feature development. A real-time HUD shows active agent count, token burn, and task queue status in your terminal statusline. The framework also supports mixed-model workflows where Claude, Codex, and Gemini agents run concurrently via tmux workers. Built by Yeachan-Heo, OMC reached 23k stars in under a week—largely riding the same wave as its sibling project oh-my-codex. Unlike oh-my-codex (which targets OpenAI's Codex CLI), OMC is tightly integrated with Claude Code's native teams API and memory system, making it the go-to extension layer for Claude Code power users who want true parallel agent pipelines.
Reviewer scorecard
“This solves the exact anxiety of kicking off a Claude Code session and then walking away. The swipe-card mobile UI is well thought out — you can do a quick code review of the pending command right from the notification. The adapter interface is clean enough that I could wire it to my own agents in an afternoon.”
“The smart model routing is the real win here—automatically sending simple tasks to Haiku and complex reasoning to Opus means you stop burning Opus credits on boilerplate. Team Mode with 19 specialized agents sounds like overkill until you're parallelizing a large refactor across six files simultaneously.”
“The security model is concerning: you're routing tool-call details through a local WebSocket server that's exposed to your network. Anyone on the same WiFi can potentially see (or intercept) pending commands. There's no auth on the dashboard in v0.1. Fix that before using this on anything sensitive.”
“This is a convenience wrapper on Claude Code's existing multi-agent API dressed up with magic keywords and a HUD. The 23k stars are coattail-riding the oh-my-codex viral moment, not evidence of production utility. When Anthropic inevitably ships native orchestration improvements, this entire layer becomes irrelevant.”
“Human-in-the-loop approval is going to become a compliance requirement for agentic AI in enterprise settings. farmer is ahead of the curve — the patterns it's establishing for mobile-first agent oversight will likely influence how official agent SDKs handle permission gating.”
“We're watching the emergence of a genuine multi-agent development stack in real time. OMC's mixed-model workflows—running Claude, Codex, and Gemini agents simultaneously—preview a future where developers route tasks to the best available model dynamically rather than being locked into one provider.”
“I run AI agents to manage my content pipeline and frequently can't be at my desk. The idea of approving file writes and API calls from my phone while I'm at a coffee shop is exactly what I've wanted. The activity feed is a nice touch for auditing what ran while I was away.”
“The real-time HUD with token metrics and agent queue status turns what was an invisible background process into something you can actually reason about and tune. That observability layer alone makes it worth using—you'll quickly learn which workflows are worth the API spend.”
