AI Summary
TL;DR

HQ is an open-source filesystem-based operating system for Claude Code that provides persistent memory, 45+ specialized AI workers, and autonomous multi-company orchestration. It enables users to plan projects, execute tasks through the Ralph Loop (Plan → Execute → Review → Learn), and deploy code without manual coding. The system features isolated company contexts, hierarchical worker teams, slash commands for complex workflows, and a three-tier knowledge architecture with semantic search.

Key Claims
  • HQ provides 45 AI workers with 60+ skills that can autonomously ship code and execute projects end-to-end
  • The system enforces complete isolation between companies, preventing credential and knowledge cross-contamination across multiple business contexts
  • The Ralph Loop orchestration executes one task at a time with fresh context per task, requiring all work to pass typecheck, build, and tests before completion
  • Workers follow a state machine lifecycle and automatically learn from corrections, injecting rules directly into governing files to improve over time
  • Installation takes 30 seconds with a single command (npx create-hq) and the system is free and open-source
