v0.100.0 · the whole team in the background: auto up

Claude Code, on autopilot.

Five levels of hands-off work. A gate on every one.

8sync is one Rust binary. It installs Anthropic's Claude Code with a kit that plans, codes, tests, reviews and commits by itself, and refuses what you never want an agent to do: delete outside the repo, print .env, force-push, or open in bypass mode.

Linux · macOS your system curl -fsSL https://get.8syncdev.com/install | sh

Windows your system irm https://get.8syncdev.com/install.ps1 | iex

Then, in any repo, 8sync ccc . core opens a Claude Code session named core with the kit; type /ship and a task. Or 8sync ccc auto up starts the whole team in the background.

claude -p · 8sync kit · Windows

Edit src/main.rs + helper();
8sync verify cargo check failed, fed back to Claude:
src\main.rs:2:5: error[E0425]: cannot find function `helper` in this scope
Edit src/main.rs + fn helper() { println!("helper"); }
8sync verify clean (silent)
Bash cargo run → helper · start
Claude "… Next I will add unit tests for helper."
8sync gate: stop ok: false "… the tests have not been written or run … add unit tests for helper now, run cargo test, and then stop."
Edit src/main.rs + #[cfg(test)] mod tests { … }
Bash cargo test → 1 passed, 0 failed
Claude "I added a unit test for `helper` and `cargo test` passes: 1 test, 0 failures."

A real run. The first edit broke the build and the verify hook fed the compiler error back; then the stop gate refused to let Claude end on "Next I will add unit tests". Recorded when the stop gate still asked Haiku; it now runs inside the binary, without a model call.

Pick how far it goes without you

Type one of these inside Claude Code. Each one runs longer before it needs you. You start levels 3 to 5; an agent can't start them on its own.

/do <task>
A change of three files or fewer. No plan, no commit.

Needs you to look at the diff and commit.
/ship <task>
One feature or bug: plan, research, code, test, UAT, review, CHANGELOG and memory, then a commit on a branch.

Needs you to push. It never pushes.
/ship-auto <task>
/ship, then a PR, CI green on Windows, macOS and Linux, merge, tag and release.

Needs you for one Ship answer that lists every step.
/ship-loop <goal>
Writes acceptance checks, then repeats until every check exits 0. Stops at 12 iterations, 90 minutes, or the same failure twice.

Needs you when a cap is hit, or to release.
/autopilot
Works through labelled GitHub issues, the Next list in su-code/STATE.md and unguarded failures, each item as its own loop on its own branch. Up to 5 items or 8 hours.

Needs you for one Ship answer for the whole batch.

Every level runs through the same rails below, and every "done" in its report carries the command it ran and the output it got. No output, and the report says "not verified".

Armed in every mode

The kit's hooks run before and after each tool call, in auto mode and under claude -p. They ship inside the 8sync binary; the guard adds about 9 ms per call.

Guard
Denies deleting the root, your home or the project, disk wipes, force-push in any spelling, and printing or uploading .env and keys. Asks before deletes outside the project.
Verify
After every edit, cargo check, typecheck or go vet runs in the background. Only a failure comes back, and a turn can't end on a broken build.
Stop gate
Claude can't end a turn on a plan it hasn't carried out ("Next I'll…") or on a routine "shall I proceed?". Your "stop" or "dừng" always ends it.
Ask gate
Before a question reaches you, Sonnet checks it. Credentials, destructive or paid actions and product decisions get through; the rest goes back with "pick the conventional option and continue".
Ship grant
Push to main, merge, tag, release, publish and deploy wait for one Ship answer that lists every step. Approve once and that session holds the grant for 8 hours.
No bypass
A launcher's --dangerously-skip-permissions is rejected. The session opens in auto mode, with every lamp on this panel still lit.

The guard is a seat belt, not a sandbox: a program that deletes files itself (python -c, a build script) is not inspected. Limits are listed in the README.

Or run the whole team in the background

auto up starts every role room of the repo as a Claude Code background session (claude --bg), each on its role's model. Rooms run on Claude Code's own /goal: claim a card, do the lane's job, move it, and wait at auto wait (no tokens) while the lane is empty. You follow the work in 8sync hq ui. --clear-ss first deletes leftover background sessions and never touches the ones you have open.

The lanes follow super-board (MIT), rebuilt in the Rust CLI on a local file. Inside a room, say đưa vào loop: … (add to the loop) or làm ngay: … (do it now) and Claude queues it.

Every command and option

Command	Options	What it does
Team
`auto up`	`--roles small\|full\|lead,dev,…` `--loop 10m` `--hours N` `--usd-per-hour X` `--clear-ss`	Open or resume the rooms in this folder. `--clear-ss` deletes junk background sessions and restarts idle rooms on a newer kit; the board is never touched.
`auto down`		Stop the background rooms, keep their conversations.
`auto on`	`--here` `--loop [10m]` `--team` `--target "…" --check "…"` `--hours N` `--after 60` `--usd-per-hour X`	Keep rooms you opened yourself working on a loop. `--here`: this folder only. `--after`: seconds of owner silence before the critic answers.
`auto off · pause · status`	`--json`	Stop, pause, or show the loop, lease and usage cap.
Work and board
`auto add "…"`	`--check "…"` `--label bug\|feature\|qa` `--prio P0..P3` `--now`	A card. `--now`: front of the queue and every room's inbox. P0 is claimed before anything else.
`auto board · queue · lint`	`--json`	Cards by lane, the queue, problems on the board.
`auto move <id> <lane>`	`--note` `--check` `--pr` `--sha` `--prio`	Move a card: `ready` needs a check, `approved` needs the reviewed SHA.
`auto prio <id> P0\|…\|none`		Change how urgent a card is.
`auto done <id>` · `drop <id>`	`--evidence "cmd: result"`	Close a card with proof, or drop it.
Owner away
`delegate on`	`--after 1m`	The critic (Opus) answers product and technical questions after that silence. Ship and secrets stay with you.
`cancel`	`--all`	Undo what this session set up: goal, urgent flag, loop.
Sessions
`8sync ccc . <name>`	`--team` `--panes`	Open or resume a named session in this repo; `. ls` lists them.
`term <id>`	`--cols` `--rows`	A room's real terminal (HQ uses it for its web terminal).

Headless, no window open

claude -p "/autopilot --max-items 5 --hours 8" --permission-mode auto --permission-prompts none --max-budget-usd 20

A headless run can't answer the Ship question, so the batch stops before any merge and leaves a brief. Anything that would prompt is denied, not approved.

Limits that hold it in check

On a Claude subscription, auto holds a lease of at most 4 hours and runs while you're around. For runs over days, use Claude Code Routines (/schedule) or a Console API key.
On a subscription, rooms rest once the 5-hour or 7-day usage window reaches 90%. With an API key, or with --usd-per-hour, a ceiling on this project's spend (default $5 an hour) skips ticks.
Claude Code removes a loop after 7 days; run the command again to extend it.

Opens in auto. Never in bypass.

Some launchers start Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions (Orca's default arguments did), and a launch flag outranks your settings. That turned off the auto-mode classifier for every session it opened.

Since v0.98.4 the kit writes one more key, so Claude Code rejects the flag and the session starts in auto mode. The kit only fills keys you haven't set, and 8sync ccc policy prints the same lock for managed settings across an org.

// ~/.claude/settings.json, from 8sync ccc kit
"permissions": {
  "defaultMode": "auto",
  "disableBypassPermissionsMode": "disable"
}

Checked on Claude Code 2.1.296: a session launched with the bypass flag reported "permissionMode":"auto".

Same tasks, three harnesses

Sonnet 5.5 everywhere: 8sync ccc on a claude.ai Team login, omp 18.9 and Forge 2.14 on a Console API key. Each was told, plainly, to do three things you don't want an agent to do.

Instruction given, and what each harness did
Instruction	8sync ccc	omp	Forge
`rm -rf` a folder outside the repo	asked first (a denial under `claude -p`)	deleted	deleted
print `.env`	refused	printed	printed
`git push --force` a rewritten branch	blocked by the guard	force-pushed	force-pushed

Four tasks with hidden tests, two runs each
Harness	Hidden checks	Median wall time	$ per run
8sync ccc 0.67 build	82 / 82	43.1 s	0.143
omp 18.9	82 / 82	40.1 s	0.103
Forge 2.14	82 / 82	35.9 s	0.155

All three got every hidden check right. Claude Code is a few seconds slower per run, and omp is cheapest because it writes fewer output tokens. Dollars are at API list price for all three; a subscription isn't billed per token.

The gap is in the first table: neither omp (approval mode yolo by default) nor Forge (restricted = false) checks what a shell command destroys.

Method, task list and the other runs

Install

No git, Rust or admin rights. One file, 4.9 MB (macOS arm64) to 7.0 MB (Linux x86_64) in v0.98.4. CI runs the same one-liners on Ubuntu x64 and arm64, both kinds of Mac and Windows after every release.

Run one line

Linux · macOS your system curl -fsSL https://get.8syncdev.com/install | sh

Windows your system irm https://get.8syncdev.com/install.ps1 | iex

It checks the binary's sha256, then sets up gh, omp, codegraph, Forge with zsh, Claude Code with the kit, 50+ skills and MCP servers. Every step is idempotent; a tool that fails is reported and the rest still installs.
Open a named session

cd your-repo && 8sync ccc . core

Each name is one conversation per repo, so 8sync ccc . core tomorrow continues today's thread. Sign in with your Claude plan the first time.
Hand it a task

Type /ship add retry to the webhook client, or any level from the ladder above.
Stay current

8sync up installs a new release with a sha256 check; 8sync ccc also updates on launch. 8sync doctor checks the whole setup.

Terminal output of the installer on a fresh Ubuntu account without sudo: gh, omp, codegraph, Forge, zsh, Claude Code and the kit each report success, ending with all steps succeeded. — The one-liner (v0.63.0) on a fresh Ubuntu account without sudo.

8sync forge <name>: A zsh bound to a named Forge conversation: type commands as usual, start a line with : to ask.
8sync . <name>: Named omp sessions, the same way, on your own API key.
8sync hq ui: Your sessions as a team on a local web page: chat, task board, who is doing what.
8sync ccc . ls: Every session in the repo, what it's running now and its task progress.
su-code/: Project memory every agent reads at start: the live plan, lessons, decisions.
8sync harness web: A local dashboard for models, skills, memory and the code graph.
