this is fundamentally different from tools that spoof headers to bypass api pricing. yume:

• runs the actual claude binary installed on your machine
• uses your existing claude pro/max subscription
• never touches anthropic's api directly
• maintains 100% cli compatibility (subagents, mcp, hooks, skills, claude.md all work)

think of it like iterm vs terminal.app - a different frontend for the same tool.

features

orchestration flow (unique to yume)

• automatic task decomposition - understand → decompose → act → verify workflow
• complex task handling - 3+ step tasks get architect planning, implementer execution, guardian verification
• trivial task passthrough - simple tasks proceed directly without overhead
• no commands needed - baked into every session via --append-system-prompt

agent system

• 4 built-in agents - synced to ~/.claude/agents/yume-*.md
  • architect - plans, decomposes tasks, identifies risks, todowrite tracking
  • explorer - read-only codebase search, glob/grep/read, never modifies
  • implementer - focused code changes, edit/write, minimal diffs
  • guardian - reviews for bugs, security, performance after changes
• 4 concurrent background agents - async execution with git branch isolation (yume-async-{type}-{id})
• no timeout - agents run until completion, output to ~/.yume/agent-output/
• streaming isolation - background agents don't interfere with main session
• merge conflict detection - pre-merge checks b...
