CLI to orchestrate AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini)

hire-ai

CLI to orchestrate AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini).

⚠️ Warning: By default, all agents run in auto-approve mode:

• Claude Code: --dangerously-skip-permissions
• Codex: --full-auto
• Gemini CLI: -y

This means agents can execute commands and modify files without confirmation. You can customize this in ~/.config/hire/config.json.
