# 🐙 Claude Octopus
Every AI model has blind spots. Claude Octopus supports twelve external provider integrations — Codex, Antigravity CLI, Copilot, Qwen, Ollama, Perplexity, OpenRouter, OrcaRouter, OpenCode, Cursor CLI, Grok, and Kimi Code — alongside the built-in Claude Code host, with consensus gates that flag disagreements before you ship.
**Claude-native first, Octopus for escalation.** Use Claude-native `/init`, `/review`, and `/security-review` when Claude is enough. Use Octopus when you want multiple model opinions, adversarial review, or stricter multi-LLM workflows.
> Claude Octopus is an independent open-source project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic.
🐙 **Research, build, review, and ship — with twelve external providers checking the host's work.** Claude-native handles the ordinary path. Octopus remains dormant until you explicitly run `/octo:*`, then handles the escalated path. A 75% consensus gate catches disagreements before they reach production.
🧠 **Remembers across sessions.** Integrates with claude-mem, agentmemory, and deja-vu for persistent memory — past decisions, research, and context survive session boundaries.
⚡ **Spec in, software out.** Dark Factory mode takes a spec and autonomously runs the full pipeline — research, define, develop, deliver. You review the output, not every step.
🔄 **Choose the workflow the task needs.** Use a focused method for architecture, debugging, or TDD. Use `/octo:embrace` for Discover → Define → Develop → Deliver, with quality gates between phases.
🐙 **31 specialized personas** (role-specific AI agents like security-auditor, backend-architect), **54 commands** (slash commands you type), **63 skills** (reusable workflow modules). Explicit workflows select the experts they need; ordinary Claude requests do not activate Octopus.
🐙 **Works with just Claude. Adds up to twelve external provider integrations.** Zero external providers are needed to start. Add them one at a time — each becomes available when detected and runs only inside an explicit workflow.
💰 **Five providers cost nothing extra when you already have access.** Codex, Antigravity CLI, Copilot, and Cursor CLI use existing subscriptions or local auth. Ollama runs locally for free. Qwen now requires API-key or Coding-Plan auth; its free OAuth tier ended on 2026-04-15.

## What's New
### Reliable fallback routing and host detection
Research, design, copywriting, and image tasks can use authenticated Codex or
installed Claude seats when Antigravity is unavailable. Provider configuration
loads before fallback selection.
Claude Code sessions also identify their active host correctly when the shared
plugin is installed in a Codex cache. This keeps Codex council seats independent.
See provider availability and host detection.
### Safer model configuration and reliable provider history
Model configuration rejects unsafe names while preserving supported Antigravity
display labels. Concurrent provider-history
