README
Platypus
An 80s pixel-art office building where you watch your **Claude Code** agents at work, in real time. Runs on **Windows, macOS and Linux**: clone it with git and launch it, no installer needed.
*Versione italiana: [README.it.md](README.it.md).*
What it does
- One floor per Claude Code session, with an elevator and a board in the lobby. Each floor is an org chart: the boss's office (CLAUDE), the subagent rooms grouped by type, the department heads' departments, and speech balloons showing what everyone is doing.
- Permissions from the balloon: when an agent asks for permission, answer YES / ALWAYS / NO right in the office, or in the terminal as usual.
- Costs and tokens per floor and over time, alerts (stuck agent, repeated errors, budget exceeded), archive and replay of past sessions, daily report.
- Map of reality for each agent: the territory it knows (with fog over what it has never seen), its trajectory through a 7-dimensional space, the context bubble and the task's north star (experimental).
- Office life: the cat on the keyboard of whoever is stuck, the annoying coworker (you pick the name), parties for commits and green tests, night time, outfits for holidays and weather, age and superhero capes based on model and effort.
- Italian and English, with a structure ready for more languages.
What's new in each version is in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).
