LLM Tools

Operator integrates with LLM tools like Claude Code to power AI-assisted development.

Supported Tools

Claude Code

The primary LLM tool supported by Operator. Claude Code is a CLI tool that provides:

• Code generation and editing
• Bug analysis and fixes
• Test writing
• Documentation
• Refactoring

Integration Points

Launching Agents

Operator launches Claude Code with project context:

# macOS launch command
open -a "Claude" --args --project "/path/to/project"

Initial Prompts

Tickets provide context to agents through:

1. Ticket content - The markdown ticket file
2. Project CLAUDE.md - Project-specific instructions
3. Clipboard injection - Initial prompt via paste simulation

Monitoring

Operator tracks agent status:

• Running - Agent is actively working
• Awaiting Input - Agent needs human response
• Completed - Work is finished
• Failed - An error occurred

Configuration

Configure LLM tool settings in your Operator config:

[llm]
tool = "claude-code"
max_concurrent = 4

[llm.claude]
path = "/Applications/Claude.app"

Best Practices

1. Clear tickets - Write detailed ticket descriptions
2. Project context - Maintain good CLAUDE.md files
3. Monitor paired work - Stay engaged with INV/SPIKE agents
4. Review autonomous work - Check completed FEAT/FIX work
