Three agents. One room. Receipts for every handoff.
SquidRun turns the AI command-line tools already on your machine into a small, accountable crew. One agent plans, one builds, one challenges—and you can see who owns the next move.
The actual tracked Squid Room backplate and agent sprites, staged with clearly labeled demo receipts because the room is work—not wallpaper.
THE CREW
It behaves like a crew, not a group chat.
Parallel work is useful only when ownership stays legible. SquidRun gives each role a job, a lane, and someone to report back to.
01
Architect
Decides
Holds the brief, divides the work, and makes the final call. Judgment stays with one accountable owner.
02
Builder
Builds
Works in the code, runs the checks, and returns the artifact with receipts attached—not a progress story.
03
Oracle
Challenges
Checks the claim against the source, finds the weak seam, and says HOLD when the proof does not land.
THE RULE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
“Sent” is not the same as “arrived.”
SquidRun keeps a routed ledger beside the conversation. A handoff is not proof because a terminal printed “delivered.” The row has to land, the target has to answer, and important claims have to be reproducible.
Every request has an address.
Every reply has an accountable owner.
Every verdict can point back to evidence.

WHY IT EXISTS
Built under job-site pressure, not demo-day pressure.
SquidRun came out of a plumber trying to build real software with AI while the actual business kept moving. The system learned the hard lessons: memory disappears, agents overreach, and confident updates are worthless without proof.
So the room keeps the people, work, and evidence in view—even when the session changes or the job gets messy.

LOCAL BY DEFAULT
The expensive part is already in your toolbox.
Your CLI seats
Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI—mix the tools you already use.
Your machine
Real local sessions, files, tests, and terminals. The work stays close.
Your call
Agents can move fast. Financial, destructive, and human decisions stay bounded.
