human

https://gethuman.sh

The AI Software Factory. Tickets, docs, designs, and analytics in. Shipped code out. One secure pipeline from idea to review. Claude on the line, human on the floor. You in control.

• Pipeline Dashboard — Monitor running agents, token usage, tracker issues, and pipeline state in real time
• Secure Devcontainer — OAuth, MCP, browser access, Chrome Bridge, firewall — all configured out of the box
• Context Management — Connectors for every source with cross-tracker and Notion search
• Lifecycle Skills — Ideate, plan, execute, review. One command (/human-sprint) runs the full pipeline

Architecture

Install

curl -sSfL gethuman.sh/install.sh | bash

Or with Homebrew:

brew install gethuman-sh/tap/human

Or with mise:

mise use -g github:gethuman-sh/human

Or with Go:

go install github.com/gethuman-sh/human@latest

Or add as a devcontainer Feature:

{ "features": { "ghcr.io/gethuman-sh/treehouse/human:1": {} } }

Quick start

human init

The wizard configures your services, generates devcontainer.json with daemon, Chrome proxy, firewall, and installs the Claude Code integration. Set the API tokens it prints, then start:

human daemon start
devcontainer up --workspace-folder .

Dashboard

human tui

The TUI shows running Claude Code instances, token usage per 5-hour window, daemon status, and connected containers — all in one view. It auto-starts the daemon if needed.

CLI usage

Quick commands auto-detect the tracker from the key format. Use --table for human-readable output.

human get KAN-1                        # get an issue
human list --project=KAN               # list issues
human status KAN-1 "Done"             # set status
human jira issue start KAN-1           # transition + assign
human jira issue edit KAN-1 --title "New title"
human jira issue comment add KAN-1 "Shipped"

human search "retry logic"             # cross-tracker search
human notion search "quarterly report" # Notion
human figma file get <file-key>        # Figma
human amplitude events list            # Amplitude
human telegram list                    # Telegram

Devcontainer / Remote mode

Quick start: Use the treehouse devcontainer Feature — it installs human, sets up OAuth browser forwarding, and optionally configures the HTTPS proxy. Add it to your devcontainer.json and you're done.

AI agents running inside devcontainers need access to issue trackers, Notion, Figma, and Amplitude, but credentials should stay on the host. The daemon mode splits human into two roles: a daemon on the host (holds credentials, executes commands) and a client inside the container (forwards CLI args, prints results). You need human installed on both sides: on the host (via Homebrew, curl, etc.) to run the daemon, and inside the container (via the devcontainer Feature) as the client. It's the same binary — the mode is determined by the HUMAN_DAEMON_ADDR environment variable.

On the host:

human daemon start          # prints token, listens on :19285
human daemon token          # print token for copy/paste
human daemon status         # check if daemon is reachable

In devcontainer.json, add the devcontainer Feature to install human and configure the daemon connection:

{
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/gethuman-sh/treehouse/human:1": {}
  },
  "forwardPorts": [19285, 19286],
  "remoteEnv": {
    "HUMAN_DAEMON_ADDR": "host.docker.internal:19285",
    "HUMAN_DAEMON_TOKEN": "<paste from 'human daemon token'>",
    "HUMAN_CHROME_ADDR": "host.docker.internal:19286",
    "BROWSER": "human-browser"
  }
}

Inside the container, all commands work transparently:

human jira issues list --project=KAN       # forwarded to host daemon
human figma file get ABC123                # forwarded to host daemon
human notion search "quarterly report"     # forwarded to host daemon

Chrome Bridge

When using Claude Code inside a devcontainer, the Chrome MCP bridge needs a Unix socket that Claude can discover. The chrome-bridge command creates this socket and tunnels traffic to the daemon on the host.

human chrome-bridge                        # daemonizes, prints PID and socket path
claude                                     # runs immediately after

The bridge requires HUMAN_CHROME_ADDR and HUMAN_DAEMON_TOKEN environment variables (included in the devcontainer.json example above). Use --foreground for debugging. Logs are written to ~/.human/chrome-bridge.log.

OAuth / browser forwarding

Tools like Claude Code require OAuth authentication, which needs to open a browser on the host. The treehouse Feature handles this automatically by creating a human-browser symlink and setting BROWSER=human-browser. When Claude Code triggers OAuth, human-browser forwards the request to the daemon, which opens the real browser on the host and relays the callback back to the container.

If you're not using the treehouse Feature, add "BROWSER": "human-browser" to your remoteEnv and ensure the human-browser symlink exists in the container (pointing to the human binary).

HTTPS proxy

The daemon includes a transparent HTTPS proxy on port 19287 that filters outbound traffic from devcontainers by domain. It reads the SNI from TLS ClientHello — no certificates needed, no traffic decryption.

Configure allowed domains in .humanconfig.yaml:

proxy:
  mode: allowlist    # or "blocklist"
  domains:
    - "*.github.com"
    - "api.openai.com"
    - "registry.npmjs.org"

• allowlist: only listed domains pass, everything else blocked
• blocklist: only listed domains blocked, everything else passes
• No proxy: section: block all (safe default)

Enable in devcontainer.json using the treehouse devcontainer Feature:

{
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/gethuman-sh/treehouse/human:1": {
      "proxy": true
    }
  },
  "capAdd": ["NET_ADMIN"],
  "remoteEnv": {
    "HUMAN_DAEMON_ADDR": "host.docker.internal:19285",
    "HUMAN_DAEMON_TOKEN": "<paste from 'human daemon token'>",
    "HUMAN_CHROME_ADDR": "host.docker.internal:19286",
    "HUMAN_PROXY_ADDR": "host.docker.internal:19287",
    "BROWSER": "human-browser"
  },
  "forwardPorts": [19285, 19286],
  "postStartCommand": "sudo human-proxy-setup"
}

See the treehouse README for full setup instructions.

Claude Code skills

Install the Claude Code skills and agents into your project:

human install --agent claude

This writes skill and agent files to .claude/ in the current directory. Re-run after upgrading human to pick up changes.

Skill	Description
/human-ideate	Challenge an idea with forcing questions and create a ready PM ticket
/human-sprint	Run the full pipeline in one command: ideate → plan → execute → review
/human-ready	Evaluates a ticket against a Definition of Ready checklist
/human-brainstorm	Explores the codebase and generates 2-3 implementation approaches
/human-plan	Fetches a ticket and produces a structured implementation plan
/human-bug-plan	Analyzes a bug ticket for root cause and writes a fix plan
/human-execute	Loads a plan, executes step by step, runs a review checkpoint
/human-review	Diffs the current branch against acceptance criteria
/human-findbugs	Multi-agent pipeline to find logic errors, race conditions, and security issues
/human-security	Deep security audit with attack chain analysis and OWASP Top 10 coverage
/human-gardening	Multi-agent pipeline for codebase health analysis, refactoring triage, and automated fixes

# Full pipeline in one command
/human-sprint "add rate limiting to the API"

# Or step by step
/human-ideate "add rate limiting"  # challenge idea, create PM ticket
/human-plan 42                     # create engineering plan
/human-execute HUM-43              # implement the plan
/human-review HUM-43               # review changes

All outputs are saved to .human/ (plans, reviews, done reports, bug analyses, security audits, health reports).

Configuration

The fastest way to get started:

human init

The interactive wizard lets you pick trackers and tools, then writes .humanconfig.yaml and prints the environment variables to set.

Alternatively, configure manually:

# Issue trackers
jiras:
  - name: work
    url: https://work.atlassian.net
    user: me@work.com
    key: your-api-token

githubs:
  - name: oss
    token: ghp_abc123

linears:
  - name: work
    projects:
      - ENG

# Tools
notions:
  - name: work
    token: ntn_abc123

figmas:
  - name: design
    token: figd_abc123

amplitudes:
  - name: product
    url: https://analytics.eu.amplitude.com

# Messaging
telegrams:
  - name: bot
    allowed_users:
      - 12345678

# Outbound proxy
proxy:
  mode: allowlist
  domains:
    - "*.github.com"

Tokens can also be set via environment variables using the pattern <TRACKER>_<NAME>_TOKEN (e.g. JIRA_WORK_KEY, NOTION_WORK_TOKEN, FIGMA_DESIGN_TOKEN, AMPLITUDE_PRODUCT_KEY + AMPLITUDE_PRODUCT_SECRET).

See documentation.md for full configuration details.
