The tool, installable via 'pip install squadcue && squadcue', keeps all data local and bound to localhost, addressing the pain of managing multiple terminal windows for AI-assisted tasks.", "body_md": "History: I started getting involved with AI in the middle of last year, from finding answers through chat to using Claude Cowork to control specific folders on my computer to complete tasks, and now using CLIs through the terminal to complete all my daily tasks. The most painful part has been management. My computer has more than ten terminal windows open at a time, and both the main screen and external monitors are full of CLIs. It's a headache to manage and switch between them every time. So I came up with the idea of managing these CLIs through a UI interface.\n\nThe main features of this tool are as follows:\n\n1. This is a locally installed tool. After installation, you will get a web interface. Through the web interface, you will see that Recent Claude Code session has become a named employee. The most important feature is that even after you close the window or restart your computer, you can still continue to discuss things with the same employee, just like a real employee in a real-world company. You won't forget who you are or what you did after get off work.\n\n2. There's also a review function, an \"Approvals Inbox\" and an \"Push Notification to Telegram\"(Optional). When executing instructions or writing files, the process pauses and simultaneously displays approval notifications in both the \"Approvals Inbox\" and \"Telegram\" allowing you to click \"agree\" or \"decline\".\n\n3. All data remains on the local machine (bound to localhost only). Known limitations are honestly listed in SECURITY.md; feel free to review them.\n\nHow to start : pip install squadcue && squadcue\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49259021](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49259021)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-squadcue-local-first-mission-control-for-ai-cli-agents", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/hsienchuc/squadcue", "published_at": "2026-08-11 14:31:01+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-11 14:42:09.116342+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-agents", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["SquadCue", "Claude Code", "Hacker News", "Telegram"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-squadcue-local-first-mission-control-for-ai-cli-agents", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-squadcue-local-first-mission-control-for-ai-cli-agents.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-squadcue-local-first-mission-control-for-ai-cli-agents.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-squadcue-local-first-mission-control-for-ai-cli-agents.jsonld"}}
