I Open-Sourced Claude Basecamp — Come Help Me Build a Reconciliation Loop for Claude Code
Kubernetes changed infrastructure forever with one idea: you declare desired state, and the system continuously reconciles reality to match it. I wanted that for my codebase, so I built Claude Basecamp and I'm open-sourcing it today. If you're running Claude Code across more than one repo, I'd genuinely love for you to try it, break it, and help me build it out. Try it in one command npx claude-basecamp No install, no database, no config. It discovers the projects Claude Code already knows about and opens at http://localhost:4747 . Runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. What it does Standing checks, the reconciliation loop. Declare what must always be true, and Basecamp holds it: tests always green -> runs your suite on a cadence; failures dispatch a fix run that commits dependencies current -> npm outdated; safe updates applied, majors escalated to you issue backlog triaged -> gh-powered labeling and stale-closing anything in plain English -> "the README documents every CLI flag" checked read-only, fixed on drift Checks run against deterministic local facts (your real test suite, real npm outdated) wherever possible, zero tokens spent checking. Drift launches a bounded, budgeted, approval-gated convergence run. Repeated failure escalates to a decision card on Home instead of retrying forever. Reflexes, an immune system for your AI. Basecamp mines every transcript for the moments you pushed back (interruptions, "no, don't", permission denials) and turns each into an antibody. Once armed, every Claude Code session on your machine consults that memory before every Bash/Write/Edit action, so a mistake made twice gets blocked machine-wide before it happens a third time. Session Rescue. Notices when a Claude Code session died mid-task and lets you resume the actual dead session, same session ID, full context, as a background run that finishes the job and commits. A persistent manager for every repo. Each project gets an agent with full Claude Code tools plus control over Bas
