Show HN: I made a HumanLayer-clone Claude Code plugin (billlyzhaoyh.github.io)

I made a clone of the workflow described by Dex Horthy in Advanced Context Engineering in the form of Claude Code Plugin where you can download at https://github.com/billlyzhaoyh/humanlayer-clone.

It enables you to step through the three steps of using coding agent to accomplish complex tasks: research, plan and implement. This is also backed by a Linear based automation flow that you can follow the plug in to setup. The plugin will help you set up the github workflow if you wish or you can copy paste from my repo.

Let me know your thoughts and feedback!



Nice work on the human-in-the-loop approach. We're using a similar pattern for password automation - the AI handles the tedious clicking through password change flows, but the user explicitly selects which accounts to update.

The challenge we've found is balancing automation with user control. Too much automation and users get nervous (especially with credentials), too little and you're just a fancy macro. The "approve then execute" pattern seems to hit the sweet spot.

Curious how you're handling error recovery when the agent gets stuck?


Interesting challenge you have there and error recovery for agents is indeed a hard challenge. For this linear based workflow, it is relatively easy to give feedback to the agents when the tasks were done to the spec you are expecting and the cost is low enough you can just toss out the work being done so far and restart completely
