GitHub - hesamsheikh/octogent: A thin orchestration dashboard over Claude Code for managing context, automation, and developer headspace. You need tentacles. 🦑

Octogent is an open-source orchestration dashboard built on top of Claude Code that helps developers manage multiple concurrent AI coding agent sessions. It introduces a 'tentacle' abstraction — scoped job containers with their own context files, notes, and todo.md task lists — so each agent works with focused, durable context rather than a sprawling chat history. Key features include spawning child Claude Code agents from todo items, inter-agent messaging for coordination, a local API and web UI for monitoring sessions and transcripts, and parallel agent execution across different areas of a codebase (docs, database, API, frontend). Built with TypeScript and Node.js 22+, it is not yet published to npm but can be installed locally from source.
