Why nowStill in play

Still active enough to matter. Good candidate for a fast stack test instead of a long evaluation loop.

One command inClean rollbackLow commitment
shieldSandboxedInstalls to ~/.claude — isolated from your projects. One command to remove.

Fastest way to find out if humanlayer belongs in your setup.

Copy the install command, run a real test, and back it out cleanly if it slows you down.

Try now
git clone https://github.com/humanlayer/humanlayer ~/.claude/agents/humanlayer

Run this first. You will know quickly if the workflow earns a permanent slot.

Back out
rm -rf ~/.claude/agents/humanlayer

No messy cleanup loop. If it misses, remove it and keep moving.

"Our entire company is using CodeLayer now. We're shipping one banger PR after the other. It is so f-ing good. Unbelievable dude."

– René Brandel, Founder @ Casco (YC X25)


  • Superhuman for Claude Code - Keyboard-first workflows designed for builders who value speed and control.

  • Advanced Context Engineering - Scale AI-first dev to your entire team, without devolving into a chaotic slop-fest.

  • M U L T I C L A U D E - Run Claude Code sessions in parallel. Worktrees? Done. Remote cloud workers? You got it.


"This has improved my productivity (and token consumption) by at least 50%. Taking a superhuman style approach just makes soo much sense. Also, its so freaking cool to look back at all the work you've done in a day."

– Tyler Brown, Founder @ Revlo.ai
