smux Connects AI Agents Across tmux

smux adds a tmux-bridge CLI that lets AI agents read, type into, label, and send keys to other tmux panes, enabling direct cross-agent workflows. Its one-command installer configures tmux and the bridge for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and other terminal agents.

// ANALYSIS

smux turns tmux from a passive terminal multiplexer into a lightweight coordination layer for coding agents.

–Agents can delegate reviews, implementation tasks, and follow-ups without a human relaying context
–The read-act-read workflow adds a useful safety guard against blindly typing into another pane
–It requires no agent SDK, hosted service, or message broker—just tmux and shell access
–The approach is powerful but inherits tmux’s macOS/Linux limitation and offers limited isolation between agents
–It competes with heavier orchestration tools by keeping the communication primitive simple and inspectable
