What is the CLI Agent?

Your Local AI Development Assistant

The CLI Agent is a lightweight NPM package that runs on your local machine, connecting the TaskDemon.AI SaaS platform with Claude Code. It enables powerful AI workflows like triage, planning, and implementation while ensuring your code never leaves your machine. The CLI Agent acts as a trusted intermediary, facilitating communication between the cloud-based Task Demon platform and the AI coding assistant analyzing your local code.

  • Simple NPM package that installs globally on your machine
  • Runs locally to ensure code privacy and security
  • Facilitates communication between TaskDemon.AI and Claude Code
  • Enables AI-powered workflows without exposing your code
  • Continuous listening for new tasks and automatic plan generation

The CLI Agent acts as a secure conduit between TaskDemon.AI and Claude Code, ensuring your code stays private while enabling powerful AI workflows.

Task Demon CLI agent communication diagram

The CLI Agent establishes a secure communication channel between the TaskDemon.AI SaaS platform and Claude Code running on your local machine. When a new task is created on TaskDemon.AI, the CLI Agent receives a notification and initiates a conversation with Claude Code to analyze your local codebase, generate plans, and assist with implementation—all while keeping your code secure and private.

  • Authenticates with TaskDemon.AI using secure token-based authentication
  • Listens for workflow events like task creation and updates
  • Initiates conversations with Claude Code for local code analysis
  • Sends generated documents back to TaskDemon.AI (never your actual code)
  • Maintains persistent connection for real-time updates and notifications

Communication Flow

See how TaskDemon.AI, the CLI Agent, and Claude Code work together through a secure and efficient communication protocol to implement software tasks while keeping your code private.

CLI Agent Communication

Watch the communication between TaskDemon.AI, the CLI Agent, and Claude Code as they implement a new feature.

This demonstration shows the communication flow between the three components: TaskDemon.AI sends task information to the CLI Agent, which coordinates with Claude Code to analyze your code and generate plans—all while keeping your code private and secure.

Benefits of the CLI Agent

Privacy, Security, and Efficiency

The CLI Agent's architecture provides unparalleled privacy and security while enabling powerful AI-powered development workflows. By keeping your code on your machine and only sharing generated documentation and plans, the CLI Agent ensures that even the most security-conscious organizations can leverage AI for software development.

  • Complete code privacy—your code never leaves your machine
  • Enhanced security for enterprise environments
  • Automated workflows reduce manual effort and context switching
  • Continuous background processing of tasks
  • Works with your existing development environment and tools

Integration with Task Demon Ecosystem

Seamless Workflow Automation

The CLI Agent integrates seamlessly with the broader Task Demon ecosystem, including the Project Agent, Task Agent, and GitHub integration. It provides the local execution environment needed for privacy-preserving workflows while maintaining perfect synchronization with the TaskDemon.AI SaaS platform.

  • Works with Project Agent to implement characterization workflows
  • Assists Task Agent in planning and implementation
  • Integrates with GitHub for repository synchronization
  • Supports all Task Demon workflows: triage, plan, implement, document
  • Compatible with multiple AI assistants (Claude Code recommended)
