CrewCmd

Give your team AI superpowers.

Author's note: CrewCmd is still early. This README reflects what works today and the direction the product is heading, but some roadmap items are still in progress rather than fully shipped.

CrewCmd is the AI-native workspace where humans and AI agents work side by side: same task board, same inbox, and an agent org chart. Every person on your team gets AI agents that multiply what they can do. Your team of 3 operates like a team of 30.

Built for small teams that want to punch way above their weight.

A solo founder can deploy a full dev squad, marketing team, and support ops in minutes. A 5-person startup can run like a 50-person company. That's the idea.

Visual org chart for AI agents and delegation paths

Why CrewCmd?

Other platforms treat AI agents as tools you configure. CrewCmd treats them as team members you manage. The difference matters.

• Deploy a full team in one click — Pre-built team templates let you spin up a dev squad, marketing team, support crew, solo founder setup, and more. Customize roles, hierarchy, and skills before deploying, or just hit go.
• Bring your own OpenClaw agents — Import agents from an OpenClaw runtime and manage them in CrewCmd. Teams can bring their own personal OpenClaw agents, and companies can also provide shared or dedicated OpenClaw agents for team members.
• One inbox for everything — Agents surface decisions, blockers, and completed work with priority tiers. No more checking 7 different tools. Review and approve from one place.
• Skills management — Install, configure, and sync skills to your agents. CrewCmd includes built-in skills and can browse curated external skill sources, but the experience today is primarily about managing installed skills.
• Workspace access control — Personal agents can stay private, and company-owned agents can be shared with team or org visibility.
• Humans and agents on the same board — Task management, project tracking, and time logging that works for both. See who's doing what, human or AI.
• Agent team structure — Visual org chart for agents with reporting lines and delegation paths.
• Governance foundation — Approval-gate and audit-trail primitives exist in the codebase, but the full guardrail workflow is still a work in progress.

Hands-free voice chat with your agents, from anywhere

Quick Start

No database setup required. CrewCmd runs with embedded Postgres locally.

For normal local development on the machine running CrewCmd:

git clone https://github.com/axislabs-dev/crewcmd.git
cd crewcmd
pnpm install
pnpm dev
# Open http://localhost:3000

Local network HTTPS

Use the self-signed HTTPS dev server only when you want to test from another device on your local network, such as a phone or tablet on the same Wi-Fi.

pnpm dev:https
# Open https://localhost:3000

The generated certificate is intended for local and LAN testing. It is not needed for Tailscale.

Tailscale testing

For Tailscale access, run the normal HTTP dev server and let Tailscale Serve provide the trusted HTTPS endpoint:

pnpm dev
tailscale serve http://localhost:3000

Then open CrewCmd from your device using the HTTPS URL shown by Tailscale, usually on your tailnet's *.ts.net address.

OpenClaw gateway setup

When importing your own self-hosted OpenClaw agents, use the gateway import flow in onboarding:

1. Start CrewCmd using one of the local, LAN, or Tailscale options above.
2. Choose Import existing OpenClaw crew during onboarding.
3. Enter your OpenClaw gateway URL. Use localhost:18789 for same-machine testing, or the reachable host/IP/Tailscale name for a remote gateway.
4. Enter the gateway auth token from ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json under gateway.auth.token.
5. If pairing is required, run openclaw devices approve on the OpenClaw gateway host, then retry the connection.

Docker Compose

Docker Compose is intended for containerized self-hosting with a local Postgres container. This path is still less exercised than local dev, so treat it as preview until you have validated it in your environment.

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set at least AUTH_SECRET.
# For Tailscale or another public URL, set NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL to that URL.
docker compose up

Compose reads .env by default. Use .env.local for non-Docker local development, and .env for Docker Compose unless you pass a different env file explicitly.

External Postgres

Use this for Neon, Supabase, or a self-hosted Postgres database:

cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local with your DATABASE_URL
pnpm install
pnpm db:push
pnpm dev

Requirements

• Node.js 22+ and pnpm
• Docker (optional, for containerized deployment)

Contributing

CrewCmd is source-available under the BSL 1.1. Contributions welcome.

git clone https://github.com/axislabs-dev/crewcmd.git
cd crewcmd
pnpm install
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000, create the first account, and run pnpm typecheck && pnpm test before opening a PR. Use pnpm dev:https only when you need HTTPS-only browser features such as microphone access.
