Tmux and Claude Code: Sessions, Send-Keys, and the Ceiling
tool
14 min read
tmux can run Claude Code and other AI coding agents in named, detachable terminal sessions that continue after a terminal closes or an SSH connection drops. Claude Code supports `claude --worktree --tmux` to create a Git worktree and a session; `--tmux` requires `--worktree`, and iTerm2 uses native panes unless `--tmux=classic` is specified. tmux sessions can be organized by repository, with task-specific windows and panes for agents that need simultaneous monitoring. The `send-keys` command can submit prompts or interrupts to an agent pane, while `capture-pane` reads visible output, scrollback, or ANSI-colored screen contents. `pipe-pane` can write a pane’s raw output to a log file. tmux activity and silence monitoring can flag output changes or quiet panes, but cannot determine whether an agent is awaiting approval, processing work, or finished. Status-line scripts can infer states by polling and matching text rendered by an agent’s terminal interface. tmux sessions and scrollback persist through client detachment and dropped SSH links but not through `kill-session`, `kill-server`, or a reboot. The source recommends tmux for remote machines and long-running server tasks. Crystl, a macOS terminal, claims to provide agent-specific state, approval cards, structured transcript capture, persistent project history, and Git-worktree-backed isolated sessions for managing multiple agents.
Agent-Manager: A Tmux TUI for Running Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode
tool
13 min read
Agent Manager allows users to manage multiple AI coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Grok, from a single terminal interface using tmux. It displays live statuses, organizes sessions into a project tree, and enables interaction with agents without needing to attach to their sessions.
