What is Mastery HQ?

Mastery HQ is a Windows-native agent development environment (ADE): a fast, draggable canvas where you launch, arrange, and supervise multiple coding agents at once — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, Aider, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode, and OpenRouter models — alongside the tools they need: terminals, a browser, a Sprint Board, music, and more. You direct the work by typing or speaking; the agents do it; the workspace keeps you in command.

  • Agents are windows. Each agent is a named, movable pane (“Alex · Claude Code”) with its own transcript, status glow, and persistent profile of what it has worked on.
  • One command bar runs everything. Type or say “tell Alex to run the tests”, “open browser and go to github”, “tidy”, “loop: improve this copy until score 9” — routing, layout, and automation all speak plain language.
  • Hermes orchestrates. The built-in orchestrator can dispatch tasks to agents, drive the workspace, and report back.
  • Built-in quality loops. Loops re-run an agent against a judge until the output clears a score bar; the Model Council pits models against each other; the Benchmark Suite measures them.
  • Streaming Mode. One click makes the whole app safe to show on stream — secrets masked, layout swapped, OBS/Streamlabs controlled from inside.

Windows 10/11, as a native desktop app. Agent CLIs run locally with your own accounts and API keys — keys are stored on your machine and forwarded only to the agent CLIs, never to Mastery HQ servers.

Frequently asked questions

Is Mastery HQ an IDE?

No — it's an agent development environment (ADE). Instead of editing code yourself, you direct coding agents that do the work, and Mastery HQ gives you the canvas, controls, and oversight to run several of them at once.

Which AI agents does it support?

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, Aider, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenCode, any OpenRouter model over HTTP, and Hermes — Mastery HQ's built-in orchestrator that can drive the workspace itself.
