Nodal Crew · a repository, staffed

Hire a crew for your codebase.

They work on their own branches. You merge what you want.

Each employee is a Claude Code session with a name, a role, a folder of their own, and their own git checkout. Crew staffs the repository; Nodal supervises the work.

checkouts
01 · own checkout

Every employee has their own checkout.

Not a convention, a git worktree. Each one sits on crew/<name> with its own working directory, so four agents cannot overwrite each other's files or fight over index.lock. Nothing reaches your branches until you merge, and the app never merges for you.

Main — merges by you alone

Nothing merges on its own

It runs on your account, not ours.

Every employee is a session of the Claude Code CLI already installed on your Mac, signed in as you. The app holds no credentials, proxies nothing, and cannot bill you.
