ClaudeBench
Claude Code Best Friend
A Redis-first, event-driven workbench with swarm intelligence for decomposing complex tasks into specialist-assigned subtasks. Features JSONRPC 2.0 + WebSocket communication, MCP integration, and React dashboard with Kanban. Architecture anticipated Anthropic's published long-running-agent harness pattern.

Why I built it
When you're running long coding sessions with Claude as the executor, you run out of context window before you run out of work, and the next session starts blind.
I solved that my way: a Redis-first, event-driven workbench with swarm intelligence for decomposing complex tasks into specialist-assigned subtasks — observable through a real-time dashboard.
Timeline
On 26-Nov-2025 Anthropic published 'Effective harnesses for long-running agents'. ClaudeBench was released approximately 8 weeks prior.
The architectural pattern ClaudeBench implements aligns with the concepts later published in that document.
