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.

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.
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.
