HumanLayer is a multiplayer coding agent IDE and cloud control plane for orchestrating AI coding agents, bringing agent sessions, plan artifacts, and code diffs together for team collaboration. The original open-source repo is deprecated, with the project rebuilt as a commercial product at humanlayer.com.

Use cases

  • run AI coding agents on complex large codebases
  • collaborate with a team on agent sessions and code diffs
  • manage plan artifacts and design docs alongside agent work
  • orchestrate background coding agents in the cloud
  • review and refine agent-generated designs before implementation
  • bring your own compute and agent harness to a shared workspace

When to choose

  • your team uses AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Amp on shared codebases
  • you want human-in-the-loop review of agent plans and artifacts
  • you need a multiplayer workspace for coordinating agent-driven engineering work

When to avoid

  • you want the actively developed open-source version - this repo is deprecated
  • you need a simple single-user agent runner without team collaboration
  • you require a permissive open-source license - the rebuild is commercial
