Flowviant

Run your own Claude Code as headless build agents for Flowviant. You manage a team of agents in the app; this daemon runs them on your machine, on your own credentials — Flowviant never sees your Claude or GitHub logins.

npx flowviant login      # approve the code in Flowviant → connected
npx flowviant            # run your fleet

What it does

You create named agents in Flowviant and dispatch work to them. This daemon, running on a machine you control, gives each agent its own git worktree and drives your locally-authenticated claude to do the work — it claims a task, works it, captures evidence for each acceptance criterion, opens a pull request, and routes any question it can't answer back to you as a blocker. You review and merge in the app.

Because it drives the CLIs you're already logged into, the cost is yours (your Claude subscription, your GitHub) and the daemon never handles a credential — it shells out to tools you authenticated yourself.

Requirements

On the machine that runs the daemon:

• Claude Code installed and signed in (claude)
• GitHub CLI authenticated (gh auth login) — for opening PRs
• git, and Node 20+
• run it from inside the git repository you want worked

Connecting

The easy way — device login, like gh auth login:

npx flowviant login

It shows a short code; enter it in Flowviant under Agents → Connect a machine. The credential is stored at ~/.flowviant/credentials.json, and from then on npx flowviant just runs.

Prefer an explicit token? Create a fleet credential in the app and pass it directly:

FLOWVIANT_FLEET=fva_… npx flowviant

Live mode (the default)

Each task runs a persistent Claude session you can talk to mid-task from the app: the agent streams its work into the task's conversation, you @-mention it to steer or answer questions, and it resumes in place. Blockers park the session at zero cost until you answer. When it finishes, it posts a delivery card (summary + checklist self-report) in the thread — a human confirms done by merging there.

Prefer the legacy one-shot poll mode (no streaming, no previews)? Escape hatch:

FLOWVIANT_POLL=1 npx flowviant

Live previews

For UI/API tasks, the daemon can start the branch's dev server in the agent's worktree and open a cloudflared quick tunnel so you can drive the real running change during review — no Cloudflare account needed (it's auto-fetched if missing). Configure it once per repo, or let it infer common setups:

// .flowviant/preview.json
{ "ui": { "cmd": "npm run dev", "port": 5173 } }

Flowviant only stores the tunnel URL; your browser talks to it directly.
