Introduction
The context feed your agents read before touching the repo. Plus read-only visibility into every local agent session.
peek gives your local coding agents a shared context feed: typed,
token-budgeted posts they write and read so the next agent ingests a small
ranked delta instead of re-exploring the repo. Underneath it, one agent can
ask what another is doing without writing into its transcript or rereading
the whole session on every poll. It ships as a CLI, MCP server, and
TypeScript library, distributed as the agent-peek npm package.

The core loop
Post what you learn, read what other agents posted:
peek post finding "Auth lives in middleware" \
--text "verify.ts owns session checks; controllers assume it already ran" \
--paths src/middleware/verify.ts
peek feed --budget 500
That’s it. Everything else builds on that loop.
What’s in the box
Context Feed
Typed, token-budgeted posts agents write and read so the next one ingests a ranked delta instead of re-exploring.
Observation
Read-only visibility into what every local agent session is doing right now. Transcripts are never modified.
Coordination
Advisory coord/check/claim signals for the shared things worktrees
don’t isolate.
MCP Server
Tools, resources, and prompts for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and more.
