How It Works

You watch, Claude works

Break down what you want to build into tasks. Chief takes it from there.

Chief runs Claude in a loop, working through each task until it's done.

One commit per task. No giant diffs to untangle.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

No runtime dependencies. Download the binary and run it. Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Everything lives in .chief/. Easy to gitignore on shared projects.

Run locally or SSH into a remote server. Start a loop before bed and wake up to code.

Real-time progress, live logs, and keyboard controls. Watch Claude work in style.
