TaskYouOS
Your own AI agent team, running on a remote server and managed through Claude Code.
You describe what you need in plain English. A "General Manager" running in Claude Code delegates work to background agents on a remote server. They research, analyze, write, and build — even while your laptop is closed.
Get Started
You need Claude Code. Open it and run:
/plugin marketplace add taskyou/taskyou-os
/plugin install taskyou-os
/taskyou-os:launch
That's it. The setup walks you through everything:
- What's your project? — Tell it what you're working on and it designs your agent workspaces
- Server — Spins up a cloud server on exe.dev (or uses your own). Installs everything automatically
- Config — Writes your configuration file based on your answers
- Deploy — Sets up the server, authorizes your agents, starts the daemon
- Done — Gives you a launch command and shows you how to use your new GM
No git cloning, no manual config editing, no SSH knowledge required. The setup handles SSH keys, exe.dev signup, software installation, and authentication transfer for you.
You can re-run /taskyou-os:launch anytime to resume an interrupted setup or fix issues.
How It Works
Your Machine Server
┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐
│ Claude Code │ ──── SSH ─────→ │ TaskYou daemon │
│ (GM session) │ │ ┌──────────────┐ │
│ │ │ │ Agent 1 │ │
│ │ │ │ Agent 2 │ │
│ │ │ │ ... │ │
│ │ │ └──────────────┘ │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ notifications │
└──────────────┘ │ .jsonl │
└──────────────────┘
- You talk to the GM (a Claude Code session on your machine) in plain English
- The GM creates tasks and assigns them to agents on the server
- Agents work in the background — close your laptop, they keep going
- The GM automatically tracks running tasks and notifies you when they complete or get blocked — no need to remember to check
- Use
/gm-babysit for an immediate status check on all tracked tasks
exe.dev Deployment (No Local Machine Required)
Instead of running the GM locally over SSH, you can deploy it entirely onto an exe.dev VM. This gives you a web-accessible GM with:
- A landing page with a live kanban board
- A one-click terminal button that opens the GM in your browser
- No local machine required — access from anywhere
Browser exe.dev VM
┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐
│ Landing page │ ──── HTTPS ───→ │ nginx (port 8000)│
│ (kanban) │ ← board.json ── │ │
│ │ │ TaskYou daemon │
│ GM Terminal │ ──── xterm ───→ │ ┌──────────────┐ │
│ (browser) │ │ │ Agent 1 │ │
│ │ │ │ Agent 2 │ │
│ │ │ │ ... │ │
│ │ │ └──────────────┘ │
└──────────────┘ └──────────────────┘
To deploy:
# Set EXE_DEV_VM_NAME in your config.env, then:
./setup.sh exe ~/Projects/gms/myproject
This creates the VM, uploads everything, and prints the URL. Share access with teammates via ssh exe.dev share add <vm> user@example.com.
GM Commands
Once your GM is running, these commands are available:
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/gm-babysit | Immediate status check on all tracked tasks |
/gm-status | Daemon, tasks, and agents overview |
/gm-fix | Diagnose and fix agent system problems |
/gm-start | Getting started guide with project-specific examples |
/gm-help | Quick reference for all commands and TaskYou CLI |
Plugin Commands
These run from the taskyou-os plugin context (not inside a GM):
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/taskyou-os:launch | Interactive wizard to create a new GM |
/taskyou-os:doctor | Health check — updates plugin, checks versions, daemon status, executor health, template drift, security audit |
Run /doctor periodically to keep things healthy. It also detects new commands available from the plugin and offers to add them to existing GMs.
Updating
Update the Plugin
The taskyou-os plugin updates through the Claude Code marketplace. Run:
/plugin marketplace add taskyou/taskyou-os
This pulls the latest version. Restart Claude Code afterward for changes to take effect.
Update a GM Installation
Run /taskyou-os:doctor from any directory. It checks and updates everything automatically:
