A coordinator, and workers on any model.
One conversation per goal. Each worker picks its own provider, model, machine and worktree, and you can step into any of them.
Projects like Claude Code. A personal agent like Dots or Hermes. Coding agents from Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Google, GitHub and Cursor. SpecWeave Studio runs them as one project on machines you own, gives each job the model that fits, and keeps the record in git so any agent can carry on.
npm install -g specweaveEvery lab now ships a project agent, a personal agent and a coding agent, each in its own app and its own cloud. Studio gives you all three kinds in one workspace on your machines and runs every lab’s coding agent side by side, so each job gets the model that fits it, not the one from the app you happen to have open.
One conversation per goal. Each worker picks its own provider, model, machine and worktree, and you can step into any of them.
A project with its own folder, memory and plan, scheduled routines, tasks a webhook can start, and an opt-in browser profile with your saved logins.
Runs while your machine is awake, not in a vendor cloud. No chat-app channels yet.
Agents run on your machines. Tools come from local MCP servers you approve one tool at a time, and memory is plain files in the project.
No Telegram, WhatsApp or Slack gateway yet.
Studio drives each provider’s own agent, so its sign-in, approvals and limits apply. Switch a thread to another provider mid-conversation.
Resume on the same account when a limit frees up, or let a capacity policy pick a fresh account for new work.
The open-source SpecWeave CLI keeps it, and any tool continues with specweave pickup.
Other products as described on their public pages and in launch coverage, October 2026; they change quickly. Status is Studio’s own: In the pilot means the current private pilot build, Next pilot build means in testing.
A project is a long-running conversation with a coordinator. Give it a goal, add tasks as they come up, and step into any worker to steer it. Projects: testing for the next pilot build
Tell the coordinator what you want. It splits the work, starts or reuses workers, checks what they bring back and asks you only when a decision is yours.
Run the coordinator on Claude Code and a worker on Codex, Grok Build or Cursor. Studio drives each provider’s official agent, so its own sign-in, approvals and limits apply, and you can switch a thread to another provider mid-conversation.
Each project keeps its own memory, instructions and settings. A decision you give the coordinator reaches the next worker without you repeating it.
An optional plan holds the spec, tasks and assignments, or reads an existing SpecWeave increment. A task is verified only when its check runs and passes.
Point a project at a folder on a machine, add approved neighbouring folders and the repository URLs it works across. Workers get their own worktrees.
Schedule routines inside a project. A Personal project gets its own working folder and per-project tool grants for research, notes and everyday tasks.
Cloud project agents are simple to start and live with one vendor. Studio keeps the work where your code, skills and accounts already are, and lets you mix vendors inside one project.
| Topic | Cloud project agents | SpecWeave Studio |
|---|---|---|
| Where work runs | A cloud container per thread, with a bridge to your computer in some products. | On machines you own: this computer, plus any you pair over your network, SSH or Tailscale. |
| Models | One vendor’s models. | Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, Cursor, OpenCode, Copilot and more. The coordinator and each worker choose their own. |
| Your skills and folders | Upload skills to the account or a repository. Neighbouring local folders are out of reach. | The agent runs on your machine with its provider’s local configuration, so local skills, MCP servers and folders you approve are within reach. |
| When a limit hits | Wait for the reset or change plans. | Switch the thread to another provider, which carries the recent conversation over; resume on the same account when the limit frees up; or hand off to another tool with SpecWeave. |
| The record | Inside the vendor’s project. | Specs, task evidence and handoffs in git, readable by any tool. |
| Laptop closed | Keeps running in the cloud. | Runs while the executing machine is awake, so a desktop or Mac mini can carry work while your laptop sleeps. |
Cloud project agents include Claude Code Projects, OpenAI Dots and xAI Grok Bot. Compared from their public documentation in October 2026; these products change quickly.
Read the Studio overview ↗Each piece of work is a single spec.md: the problem, the scope, acceptance criteria, the approach and the tasks. No second file to keep in sync, and SpecWeave never writes state back into it.

# Keep checkout resumable ## Problem A customer who leaves checkout loses their choices. ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] AC-01: Returning within 24h restores the cart - [ ] AC-02: A paid order is never restored ## Tasks ### T-01 Save the checkout draft - AC: AC-01 | Files: src/checkout/draft.ts | Test: npm test -- draft ### T-02 Restore it on return - AC: AC-01, AC-02 | Files: src/checkout/restore.ts | Test: npm test -- restore
The CLI gives the agent the next task with the text of the acceptance criteria it covers, its files and its test, so it reads a few lines instead of the whole spec again. A criterion is met when every task that covers it is done.

$ specweave task next T-02 Restore it on return AC-01: Returning within 24h restores the cart AC-02: A paid order is never restored Files: src/checkout/restore.ts | Test: npm test -- restore $ specweave task claim T-02 Claimed T-02 as claude@laptop $ specweave task done T-02 --run "npm test -- restore" Done T-02 (2/3)
Tell your agent to hand off, or run specweave handoff. It releases your task claims, records where you stopped, and pushes your branch and a snapshot of your uncommitted edits to git. Nothing to copy, nothing to paste. With specweave auto-handoff on, Claude Code and Codex do it on their own at 90% of the limit.

$ specweave handoff Released your claims on T-03 so the next agent can take them. Pushed feature/checkout-recovery. Pushed uncommitted edits to wip/feature/checkout-recovery.
In Codex, Grok, Cursor or a second Claude subscription, specweave pickup fetches the handoff, applies your edits, and prints everything the new session needs in one read: the increment, the next task and its criteria, notes and project memory.

$ specweave pickup SpecWeave pickup · you are codex@laptop Picked up the handoff from claude@laptop.

Studio is where you work. SpecWeave keeps what survives the session in git. vskill brings tested expertise to every agent.
Projects with a coordinator and workers, each on the provider and model you pick, running on your own machines with approvals you can see.
See Studio ↗The spec, task claims, test evidence and handoff live in your repository, so any agent or account can continue. Open source.
Start the open-source workflow ↗Inspect and install skills into every agent. Evaluate their behavior against a baseline before your team relies on them.
Explore skills and evaluations ↗A Studio worker or a Claude Code Projects thread works on one branch and opens one pull request. So does an increment. SpecWeave maps the two, and keeps everything that matters in git, where every tool and every account can read it.
How threads map to increments ↗
Keep GitHub, Jira or Azure DevOps where your team plans. In 3.0, changing an increment's status no longer creates or closes issues. SpecWeave touches a tracker only when you push to it.
Explore optional integrations ↗Products where we use the workflow to plan changes, track delivery and carry work between sessions and subscriptions.
League and club tools, built across Claude Code threads, two subscriptions and Codex.
Career toolsJob search, tailored resumes, recruiter context and interview preparation.
Developer toolsSkill discovery, source inspection and local evaluations with Skill Studio.
