Controlling a fleet of Claude Code agents from Telegram

Cortex OS: Revolutionizing Control of Claude Code Instances

Introduction to Cortex OS

• Cortex OS is a system designed to control and manage multiple instances of Claude code through Telegram, showcasing its orchestration capabilities.

• The system utilizes tmux terminals for programmatic control over numerous Claude code CLI instances, allowing seamless communication between agents.

Communication Between Agents

• Messages sent via Telegram are relayed to all connected agents in their respective tmux terminals, enabling coordinated responses.

• Each instance retains the full functionality of Open Claude while facilitating inter-agent messaging and analytics on behavior.

Features of Cortex OS

• The plan mode feature allows agents to propose plans directly in Telegram, with options for approval or denial that reflect back into the tmux terminal.

• A custom dashboard provides an overview of tasks, approvals, online agents, and live activity feeds for monitoring agent performance.

Task Management and Analytics

• Users can access a Kanban board for task management and view detailed activity logs across the organization.

• The analytics tab offers insights into agent uptime, message history, task completion rates, and effectiveness ratings on a scale from 1 to 10.

Upcoming Features and Enhancements

• Future updates include a knowledge base for file vectorization and search capabilities within workspaces.

• An auto research integration optimizes individual agent performance metrics while contributing to a skills library accessible by the community.

Migrating Cortex OS: Expanding Accessibility

Transitioning from Mac to Node

• The original version of Cortex OS was limited to Mac users; migration to Node aims at broader accessibility across operating systems.

• An assigned agent utilized M2C1 development skills to analyze the Mac-native version's codebase for successful migration.

Testing New Implementations

• A test instance created under the new Node architecture demonstrates effective messaging through Telegram while maintaining core functionalities from the original version.

Native iOS App Development: Streamlining User Experience

Creation of Native iOS Application

• Coordinated agents developed a native iOS app using Expo package technology overnight, enhancing user interaction without needing external bot tokens or Telegram integration.

Conclusion on System Value

• The rapid advancements made within 48 hours highlight significant productivity gains; future pricing adjustments are anticipated as access expands.
