GoKawiilCorgi launches as a terminal multiplexer built for AI coding agents
A new tool called Corgi was shown on Hacker News as a terminal multiplexer designed to manage both human workflows and AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and OpenCode in one interface. It tracks agent status (working, needs attention, finished, idle), keeps sessions and processes running in the background, and shows file changes and token usage per workspace. Corgi is installable via a curl script and supports features like image pasting over SSH, worktree organization, and scripting via a '--skill' command.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
As developers increasingly run multiple AI coding agents in parallel, tools like Corgi suggest a growing need for interfaces that treat agents as first-class, monitorable processes rather than ad hoc terminal sessions. Its comparison to tmux and competitors like Herdr and cmux indicates an emerging niche of 'agent-aware' terminal tools. Whether this becomes a standard workflow layer for AI-assisted development remains to be seen.
- Corgi is a terminal multiplexer that tracks status and activity of multiple AI coding agents simultaneously.
- It supports popular agent tools like Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and OpenCode alongside regular dev processes.
- Features include background process persistence, SSH-friendly image pasting, worktree management, and scriptable skills.
