Why teams move to HQ

Standup, every morning.

Oracle next-actions, sentinel issues, friction signals — everything that needs your call, gathered in one place.

Triage, one keystroke.

Each issue has investigate / backburner / fixed verbs. Decisions land in the project's `.decibel/` ledger, not your head.

33 facades, already wired.

architect, sentinel, oracle, guardian, friction, voice, agentic — Decibel Tools comes pre-installed. Configure on day one. Replace as you go.

002 — THE PROBLEM

More agents, more chaos.
That’s the rule, not the exception.

You opened a Claude Code window. Then another. Then twenty. By Monday morning you can’t remember what any of them were doing, which one you trust, or how much they spent over the weekend. One generalist chat per task scales to one person, badly.

003 — WHAT HQ IS

Bring your agents.
Run the company.

HQ is the human-side of agentic work. Not a model, not a wrapper, not a workflow builder. It’s the surface where the agents live and the place where you stay in charge of them.

A roster of who's doing what

See peers running, scheduled triggers, agentic queue items. Pause one, kick off another. The shape of your agentic team, in one view.

One inbox for what needs your call

Sentinel issues, friction signals, agentic queue, registry drift — surfaced together, not buried in twenty tabs.

An approval trail, written to disk

Every approval and graduation logged to .decibel/provenance/. Append-only YAML. The agents leave a paper trail by default.

004 — DECIBEL TOOLS

A function-set, not a roster.
Any agent can use them.

Decibel Tools are MCP facades you call from any agent — architect for system design, sentinel for codebase health, oracle for roadmap, guardian for security. They’re how your agents reason about your org. 33 facades, 252 tools, all wired today.

architect

system design
TOOL

Drops architectural decisions into .decibel/architect/adrs/. Compiles oversight from policies. Every choice gets a paper trail before the code changes.

CALLSarchitect.createAdr(decision)

sentinel

codebase health
TOOL

Scans for god scripts, rule sprawl, deep nesting, hardcoded values. Tracks issues, epics, and ADRs across the project. Quietly catches what code review misses.

CALLSsentinel.scan_codebase(path)

oracle

strategy & roadmap
TOOL

Reads the org's signal density across friction logs, sentinel issues, and provenance events. Turns "what should we do next" into a ranked list, not a meeting.

CALLSoracle.next_actions(project)

guardian

security & audit
TOOL

Scans for exposed creds, env drift, insecure HTTP, weak headers, dependency CVEs. Reports findings; you decide what to gate. No silent magic.
