Tmux
Terminal multiplexer for managing interactive TTY sessions, running multiple coding agents in parallel, and orchestrating long-running processes with isolated socket management.
🚀 tmux is a terminal multiplexer that lets you run interactive sessions in the background. Create isolated tmux sessions with custom sockets, send commands to them, and capture output—perfect for running Python REPLs, long-running processes, or interactive tools without blocking your main workflow.
💡 Use tmux when you need interactive TTY environments like Python shells or debugging sessions. It's ideal for orchestrating multiple coding agents in parallel, monitoring live output, and managing complex multi-step workflows. For simple background tasks, bash mode is faster.
✨ tmux excels at parallel agent coordination—spin up multiple sessions across different directories, send commands to each, and poll for completion. Built-in socket conventions and helper scripts make session management clean and scalable.
