Open Source Tool ntm: Coordinating Multi-Model Coding Agents via Tmux
doodlestein · x · 2026-08-12
The trending GitHub project ntm (Named Tmux Manager) turns tmux into a local control plane for multi-agent software development.
It allows users to spawn, tile, and coordinate multiple AI coding agents (like Claude, Codex, Gemini) across tmux panes. Unlike strictly limited subagents, ntm launches full-fledged agent instances, empowering a main agent to recruit other smart agents to supercharge complex processes.
