NTM, Multi-Agent Tmux Orchestrator with TUI Dashboard
About NTM (Named Tmux Manager)
NTM (Named Tmux Manager) is a free, open-source tool that transforms tmux into a multi-agent command center. Spawn, tile, and coordinate Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Gemini CLI agents across named panes with broadcast prompts, a TUI command palette, conflict tracking, context monitoring, and persistent sessions that survive SSH disconnections.
Key Capabilities
Spawn and coordinate Claude, Codex, and Gemini agents across tiled tmux panes
Broadcast prompts to all agents of a specific type with one command
Visual TUI dashboard with agent status cards, token velocity badges, and animated gradients
Persistent sessions survive SSH disconnections, detach and reattach without losing state
Conflict tracking detects when multiple agents modify the same files
Standout Features
Tiled Agent Panes
Spawn and tile multiple AI agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) in named tmux panes with automatic layout management.
Broadcast Prompts
Send the same task to all agents of a specific type with a single command for parallel execution.
Visual Dashboard
Interactive TUI with agent status cards, real-time token velocity badges, and animated gradient effects.
Conflict Detection
Automatically detects when multiple agents modify the same files to prevent merge conflicts.
Context Recovery
Monitors agent context limits and automatically handles compaction detection and recovery.

Community Buzz
EVERY TOOL VIBE-CODERS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT: @claudeai for coding + debugging, @cursor_ai as AI code editor, @Replit for cloud coding + deployment.
Claude for coding ($20/mo), Supabase for backend (Free), Vercel for deploying (Free), Stripe for payments. The full vibe coder stack for under $35/mo.
The entire AI coding industry just got exposed. Someone leaked the system architecture of every major tool, 30,000+ lines of hidden instructions.

AGENTS.md
AGENTS.md is an open format standard for documenting instructions that AI coding agents need to work on software projects. Think of it as a README for agents: a dedicated, predictable place for setup commands, code style, testing instructions, and project conventions. Stewarded by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation, it is used by 60,000+ open-source projects.
cmux
cmux is a free, open-source native macOS terminal built on libghostty (Ghostty rendering engine) with vertical tabs, split panes, notification rings, and a built-in scriptable browser, designed for managing multiple parallel AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.
Aider
Top-tier command line AI tool. Lets you pair program with LLMs (Claude 3.5, GPT-4o) directly in your git repo. Edits multiple files effectively.
Spec Kit
Open-source toolkit for Spec-Driven Development: scaffold specs, plans, and tasks in your repo, then run agent commands to implement changes with the AI tool you prefer.
OpenAI Codex CLI
The official command-line vibe coding tool from OpenAI. Edits local files, understands your repo, and runs shell commands with your permission. Like Aider, but built by OpenAI.
Continue.dev
Open-source CLI tool for Continuous AI that runs async agents on pull requests to enforce team rules, catch issues, and accelerate software shipping.
