Eigen — Development skill for Claude Code

Eigen is a terminal-first coding agent for Go/Linux workstations: a CLI, TUI, daemon, plugin system, and observability dashboard built around long-running local sessions.

Use it when you want a local agent loop you can inspect, resume, route across models, extend with skills/plugins, and keep under normal approval gates instead of a stateless one-shot wrapper.


What this is (and what it isn't)

Eigen is an **opinionated personal project**. I built it for my own needs, and it's shaped end to end by how I like to work — not by an attempt to compete with any particular agent or assistant.

It starts from the CLI, but I wanted it to be **a bit more than a CLI** — a *home base* I open and live in. So `eigen app` gives it a homepage: a place that greets me, surfaces what to act on, and lets me jump between everything from one rail.

The thing I actually wanted was **one agent that holds all my providers in a single awareness** and lets me move freely between them — Bedrock, hosted Claude, OpenAI-compatible endpoints, local models — and then **route work between them**: keep my chosen main model in charge while delegated subtasks get fed to whatever model fits the job.

On top of that, the features I kept wishing I had, all in one place:

• Providers in one view — every credentialed provider/model as a route candidate, switchable without hand-editing JSON.
• Routing — delegate subtasks to a cheaper/faster/stronger model while the main model stays my explicit choice.
• Memory — durable project/global notes that carry across sessions, not a goldfish that forgets every restart.
• Dreaming — background consolidation of memory (the bit I bo
