Build, manage, and deploy AI agent teams across your projects

shypmate

Build, manage, and deploy AI agent teams across your projects.

Create named AI personas with distinct skills and personalities, deploy them as Claude Code slash commands, and let them accumulate memory across sessions. Manage everything through a CLI or the shypmate.dev dashboard.

Quick start

pip install shypmate
shypmate auth login
cd ~/projects/my-app
shypmate init
claude /terry "Implement the login screen"

Commands

shypmate auth status             # Check auth status
shypmate auth logout             # Remove credentials

# Project setup
shypmate init                    # Initialize shypmate in current project

How it works

1. shypmate.dev stores your agent personas, shared playbook, and memory centrally
2. shypmate init syncs agents to your local ~/.claude/skills/ as Claude Code slash commands
3. Agents read/write memory via the shypmate API on session start/end
4. The playbook defines shared behavior for all agents — update it once, all agents get the update
