The Agency: Open-Source Multi-Agent Command Center for Claude Code

The Agency is an open-source multi-agent command center designed specifically for Claude Code, developed by Tekkiiiii. It includes 244 predefined skills, over 200 agents distributed across 14 departments, and supports fully local autonomous workflows. Its core concept is to build a cloud-independent enterprise-level agent management system, representing the evolutionary direction from single-model invocation to multi-agent collaboration.

The Agency represents the evolution of large language model application architecture from single-model invocation to complex multi-agent collaboration systems. Developed and open-sourced by Tekkiiiii, its core design concept is to build a fully localized, cloud-independent enterprise-level agent management system.

The Agency contains 244 predefined skills (covering code development to document management), with over 200 built-in agents distributed across 14 departments. Department divisions are based on actual software development and operation workflows (such as front-end development, back-end architecture, etc.), and it can automatically decompose tasks and assign them to professional agents to improve execution efficiency and quality.

1. PD-driven autonomous workflow: Dynamically orchestrates tasks based on predefined process templates and coordinates multi-agent collaboration to complete them;
2. Local storage architecture: Uses SQLite to store task data + file system to store memory, ensuring privacy, reliability, and performance;
3. Zero cloud dependency design: Installation path is ~/.claude/, runs fully locally, protects data privacy, and supports network-restricted environments.

• Small and medium-sized software development teams: Serves as a virtual collaboration platform to handle repetitive development, code review, and other tasks, freeing human developers' creativity;
• Individual developers: Manages complex projects, coordinates multi-domain agents to work in parallel to shorten cycles;
• Enterprise-level deployment: Local deployment ensures sensitive code and data are not leaked, suitable for enterprises that value intellectual property protection.

1. Skill system: The 244 skills are intelligent modules with complete logic including context understanding and parameter parsing, which can call each other to form complex execution chains;
2. Memory mechanism: File-based memory storage allows agents to maintain context across sessions, remember decisions, code styles, and project specifications, and provide consistent services.

The open-source release of The Agency provides a reference implementation for the development of multi-agent systems, demonstrates how to build enterprise-level applications in the Claude Code ecosystem, and offers an extensible framework for developers. It represents an important milestone in AI-assisted development tools, providing a feasible blueprint for intelligent software development through departmentalized architecture, process-driven workflows, and local deployment. As large model capabilities improve, similar systems may become standard tools for software development.
