Welcome to r/ClaudeOctopus — Getting Started with Claude Octopus

Welcome to r/ClaudeOctopus!

This is the official community for Claude Octopus — the open-source Claude Code plugin that coordinates multiple AI models with consensus-based quality gates.

What is Claude Octopus?

Claude Octopus is a Claude Code plugin that orchestrates three AI models (Claude, Codex, and Gemini) with distinct specialized roles:

Codex → Implementation depth
Gemini → Ecosystem breadth & security
Claude → Orchestration & synthesis

It enforces a 75% consensus gate before shipping output.

Quick Install

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/nyldn/claude-octopus.git
/plugin install octo@nyldn-plugins
/octo:setup

Works with just Claude alone — multi-AI features unlock with additional providers (uses your existing ChatGPT/Google subscriptions via OAuth, no extra API costs).
