ClaudeBench 🚀

ClaudeBench is a Redis-first event-driven AI workbench that provides a powerful development platform for Claude and AI agents. Built with a focus on simplicity and performance, it features swarm intelligence for complex task decomposition.

Key Features

• 🔴 Redis-First Architecture: Direct use of Redis primitives for all coordination
• 🐝 Swarm Intelligence: Automatic task decomposition and specialist assignment
• 📡 Event-Driven: JSONRPC 2.0 protocol with real-time WebSocket updates
• 🎨 Modern Web UI: React dashboard with real-time task visualization
• 🔌 MCP Integration: Model Context Protocol support for AI tool integration
• 🚀 High Performance: Built on Bun runtime for maximum speed
• 📊 Real-Time Metrics: Comprehensive monitoring and telemetry

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install Claudebench from this repo
2. Go to your project folder and run bun run {CLAUDEBENCH_FOLDER}/scripts/claudebench-init.ts to onboard your repository
3. Launch claude and say hi, he should carry on and you should be good to use tasking system of claudebench

Prerequisites

• Bun >= 1.2.0 (Install Bun)
• Redis >= 6.0 (Local or Docker)
• PostgreSQL >= 14 (Local or Docker)
• Node.js >= 18 (for some tooling)

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/fblgit/claudebench.git
cd claudebench

# Install dependencies
bun install

# Copy environment variables
cp .env.example .env
cp apps/server/.env.example apps/server/.env
cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env

# Update .env files with your configuration

Database Setup

# Start PostgreSQL with Docker
bun db:start

# Run database migrations
bun db:push

# (Optional) Open Prisma Studio to view data
bun db:studio

Running the Application

# Start all services (server on :3000, web on :3001)
bun dev

# Or run services individually:
bun dev:server  # Backend server only
bun dev:web     # Frontend only

# Start documentation site (optional, on :3002)
cd docs && bun dev

Running the Event Relay

The event relay provides real-time monitoring of system events:

# Start the relay for monitoring
bun relay

📖 Core Concepts

Event-Driven Architecture

ClaudeBench uses a flat event hierarchy with the pattern domain.action:

// Example events
"task.create"      // Create a new task
"task.complete"    // Mark task as completed
"swarm.decompose"  // Decompose complex task
"system.health"    // System health check

Task States

Tasks progress through these states:

• pending - Awaiting assignment
• in_progress - Currently being worked on
• completed - Successfully finished
• failed - Encountered an error

Swarm Intelligence

Complex tasks are automatically decomposed into subtasks and assigned to specialized workers:

// Create a swarm project
await client.call("swarm.create_project", {
  project: "Build a dashboard with real-time charts",
  constraints: ["Use React", "Include WebSocket updates"],
  priority: 85
});

🔧 API Reference

Task Operations

// Create a task
const task = await client.call("task.create", {
  text: "Process data batch",
  priority: 75,
  metadata: { type: "batch_job" }
});

// Claim a task
const claimed = await client.call("task.claim", {
  workerId: "worker-1",
  maxTasks: 5
});

// Complete a task
await client.call("task.complete", {
  taskId: "t-123",
  workerId: "worker-1",
  result: { processed: 100 }
});

System Operations

// Check system health
const health = await client.call("system.health");

// Get metrics
const metrics = await client.call("system.metrics", {
  detailed: true
});

// Register instance
await client.call("system.register", {
  id: "worker-1",
  roles: ["worker", "observer"]
});

🧪 Testing

# Run all tests
bun test

# Run specific test suites
bun test:contract     # Contract tests
bun test:integration  # Integration tests
bun test:web         # Frontend tests

# Watch mode for development
bun test:watch
