100+ GitHub stars

Open-source tool for Claude Code, with outside contributors. Built on Claude Code hooks and macOS automation: it notifies you when a session finishes in another window, and one click restores that exact window and iTerm2 tab across Spaces.

Agent Labs: Request Queue Agent

In progress

An AI agent that answers, routes, or escalates internal requests from a company handbook, with permission checks, human approval before any write, and every decision traced. Toggle 'peek behind the curtain' to see the graph, retrieval, and per-call cost underneath.

About

I've spent the last decade building end-to-end software products across web, mobile, and cloud. Since fall 2025 I've built and shipped OpenTask (AI task management for web, iOS, and Apple Watch), Bespoke AI (an AI-autocomplete VS Code extension), and cc-notifier (a Claude Code notification tool). Before that, I spent five years as the primary engineer working one-on-one with Klein Tools' Co-President, taking products from concept through manufacturing launch. Microsoft, Anthropic, and Scrum certified.
