FAQ
General
What is Tandemu?
Tandemu is an AI Teammate platform — the management layer for AI-assisted software development with Claude Code. It gives engineering teams visibility into how AI is used, where developers get stuck, and how work flows — all without manual reporting.
Is Tandemu open source?
Yes. The self-hosted and cloud versions share the exact same codebase. There are no gated features, usage limits, or license restrictions in the open-source version.
Does Tandemu work with editors other than Claude Code?
Currently, Tandemu works exclusively with Claude Code. The skills, telemetry, and memory features are built on Claude Code’s plugin system and OpenTelemetry output.
What ticket systems are supported?
Jira, Linear, ClickUp, GitHub Issues, Asana, and monday.com. See the Integrations page for setup details.
Can I use Tandemu without a ticket system?
Yes. Memory, telemetry, and most skills work without a ticket system connected. However, /morning won’t show tasks to pick from — you’ll need to manually describe what you’re working on.
Privacy & Security
Does Tandemu read my code?
No. Tandemu captures metadata — file paths, line counts, session duration, and tool usage patterns. It does not read, store, or transmit source code or prompt content.
Can my manager see what I’m typing?
No. There is no keystroke logging, screen capture, or prompt content recording. Tandemu tracks session-level metrics only.
Is the data the same for developers and leads?
Yes. Developers and leads see the same dashboard with the same data. There is no hidden view or additional monitoring visible only to management.
Where is my data stored?
- Self-hosted: All data stays on your infrastructure. Nothing leaves your network.
- Cloud (tandemu.dev): Data is stored on managed infrastructure.
See the Security page for full details.
Developer Workflow
What if I forget to run /morning?
You can run /morning at any time. Telemetry is only captured between /morning and /finish, so work done outside this window isn’t tracked.
Can I work on multiple tasks?
Yes. Each task gets its own git worktree. Open a new Claude Code session and run /morning again to start a second task in parallel.
What if I don’t use /finish?
No telemetry is captured for that session. The task remains in progress on your ticket system. You can run /finish later, or /pause to set the task back to backlog.
Does Tandemu slow down Claude Code?
No measurable impact. Skills run on-demand (only when you invoke them), and telemetry is sent asynchronously in the background.
What does /create do?
/create lets you add a new task to your ticket system without leaving the terminal. Useful when you discover bugs or follow-up work while coding.
Memory
Can I see what Claude remembers about me?
Yes. Ask Claude directly: “What do you remember about me?” You can also browse all memories on the Memory Dashboard at /memory.
Can I delete memories?
Yes. Delete from the dashboard, or ask Claude: “Forget my timezone preference” or “Delete all memories about my coding style.”
Are my memories visible to my team?
Personal memories are private — only you can see them. Organization memories (architecture decisions, patterns, gotchas) are shared after going through a draft review process.
Self-Hosting
What are the hardware requirements?
4GB RAM minimum for small teams (1-5 developers), 8GB recommended. 10GB disk space. Docker and Docker Compose are required.
How do I update?
cd ~/.tandemu
git pull
docker compose up --build -dDatabase migrations are applied automatically on startup.
Is there a managed cloud option?
Yes, at tandemu.dev . The cloud and self-hosted versions are identical in features.
Can I migrate between self-hosted and cloud?
Contact us for migration assistance. The data formats are compatible, but migration requires exporting PostgreSQL and ClickHouse data.
