Automaker is an autonomous AI development studio that transforms how you build software. Instead of manually writing every line of code, you describe features on a Kanban board and watch as AI agents powered by Claude Code automatically implement them.

# Automaker
Automaker is an autonomous AI development studio that helps you build software faster using AI-powered agents. It provides a visual Kanban board interface to manage features, automatically assigns AI agents to implement them, and tracks progress through an intuitive workflow from backlog to verified completion.

## Getting Started
**Step 1:** Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone git@github.com:AutoMaker-Org/automaker.git
cd automaker
```
**Step 2:** Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
### Windows notes (in-app Claude auth)
- Node.js 22.x
- Prebuilt PTY is bundled; Visual Studio build tools are not required for Claude auth.
- If you prefer the external terminal flow, set `CLAUDE_AUTH_DISABLE_PTY=1`.
- If you later add native modules beyond the prebuilt PTY, you may still need VS Build Tools + Python to rebuild those.
**Step 3:** Run the Claude Code setup token command:
```bash
claude setup-token
```
> **⚠️ Warning:** This command will print your token to your terminal. Be careful if you're streaming or sharing your screen, as the token will be visible to anyone watching.
**Step 4:** Export the Claude Code OAuth token in your shell:
```bash
export CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN="your-token-here"
```
**Step 5:** Start the development server:
```bash
npm run dev:electron
```
This will start both the Next.js development server and the Electron application.
### Auth smoke test (Windows)
1. Ensure dependencies are installed (prebuilt pty is included).
2. Run `npm run dev:electron` and open the Setup modal.
3. Click Start on Claude auth; watch the embedded terminal stream logs.
4. Successful runs show “Token captured automatically.”; otherwise copy/paste the token from the log.
5. Optional: `node --test tests/claude-cli-detector.test.js` to verify token parsing.
**Step 6:** MOST IMPORTANT: Run the Following after all is setup
```bash
echo "W"
echo "W"
echo "W"
echo "W"
echo "W"
echo "W"
echo "W"
echo "W"
```
