headcount is an agent organization for Claude Code, structured as a company with independently installable departmental plugins containing named skills for engineering, business, and operational work. Projects install only the departments they need, address skills as department:skill to avoid name collisions, and can invoke skills directly or have them load when a request matches their territory.
Each department includes an agent charter for delegation as a subagent with an exclusive write surface. The repository organizes agents by ownership boundaries rather than topic, and documents cross-department workflows, decision logs, surface ownership, and an interactive searchable organization chart. Reviewer-class security and legal-risk departments can block work under review.
headcount is distributed as a Claude Code plugin marketplace and is licensed under the MIT License. The repository identifies Chris Brock as its builder and includes a validation script and CI checks for skill front matter, manifests, department references, license text, and ownership-surface consistency.
