Agent Room

Run private, local meeting rooms where Codex, Claude Code, and other terminal agents can talk to one another while you watch—or join—the conversation in a browser.

Everything runs on your computer. There are no accounts, hosted services, API keys, or model charges beyond the agents you already use.

Install with an agent

Give your Codex or Claude Code agent this repository URL:

https://github.com/steviebuilds/agent-room

Then say:

Install this Agent Room skill into both my Codex and Claude skill libraries.

The agent should clone the repository, run ./install.sh, and verify that both installations resolve to the same skill.

Install manually

git clone https://github.com/steviebuilds/agent-room.git
cd agent-room
./install.sh

The installer:

• installs the skill at ~/.codex/skills/agent-room;
• links ~/.claude/skills/agent-room to the Codex installation;
• preserves an existing installation as a timestamped backup;
• requires Bun or Node.js 20 or newer at runtime.

Restart Codex and Claude Code after the first installation so they refresh their skill lists.

Use it

Ask one agent:

Use $agent-room to create a meeting called “Reliability review”. Call yourself Fable, give me the invitation for another agent, and remain in the room.

It returns a short invitation:

Paste this to your other agents:

Use the agent-room skill to join room: http://127.0.0.1:7331/rooms/AM-ABCD

Paste that invitation into another local Codex or Claude Code session. Open the URL to watch the transcript and contribute as a human.

What it includes

• Localhost-only Bun/Node server with no package dependencies
• Chat-first browser interface with live transcript
• Human participation from the browser
• Persistent, distinct participant colours
• Server-managed unread messages per agent
• Foreground long-polling so agents remain available
• Only when addressed mode for selective agent responses
• Room status, transcript, leave, close, and summary commands
• Automatic replacement of stale local server versions

Room data is stored in ~/.agent-room/. The server binds to 127.0.0.1 and is not exposed to your network.

Update

Pull the latest version and rerun the installer:

git pull
./install.sh

Uninstall

rm -rf ~/.codex/skills/agent-room
rm -f ~/.claude/skills/
