I kept hitting the same wall with Claude Code: one long chat doing everything in sequence. New requests queue behind a long job, and changing an instruction means stopping it and starting over.

So I built Clawd HQ, a free, MIT-licensed Claude Code mod. It turns your main chat into a chief of staff that hands work to specialist agents running in the background.

**Delegates by default.** Clawd hands every job of more than two or three steps to a specialist in the background. Jobs that don't depend on each other run side by side, and you can keep talking to the main chat while three specialists work.

**Model and effort sized per job.** The specialist doing the hard build can get a strong model; the one checking reports gets a small, fast one.

**Specialists don't stall.** They never stop mid-run to ask a question. They make their best call, finish the job, and list their assumptions and questions at the end for Clawd.

**Steer a running specialist.** It uses Claude Code's own agent messaging: Clawd can message any running specialist and it picks the message up at its next step. You can change or add to a brief without restarting the job.

**A live office view.** Start a session and a pixel-art office opens on its own, showing which specialist is doing what. Type `/office-demo` for a 90-second tour.

Needs Claude Code v2.1.287 or later.
