TUI orchestrator for Claude Code · bun i -g @sma1lboy/kobe

Run parallel coding agents from any terminal.

kobe turns AI coding work into isolated git worktrees and persistent tmux sessions. AI agents are useful one at a time — kobe is for when you want five attempts running at once.

Requires Bun ≥ 1.3.11, tmux, and one engine CLI on your PATH.

SHELL — worktree

~/.claude/worktrees/fix-login-redirect

$ bun test auth

one task = git worktree + tmux session + branch

// why try it

The terminal is the product.

⌁

Made for SSH / devboxes

No browser, VNC, or desktop app. The terminal is the product — it runs where your code already lives.

∞

Persistent by default

Agents live in tmux, so disconnects do not kill the work. Detach, reattach, pick up exactly where you left off.

⑃

Safe parallelism

Every attempt gets its own branch and worktree. Run five tries at once without them stepping on each other.

◇

Real environment

Agents run next to your dependencies, services, credentials, and build cache — not a sandboxed approximation.

⤳

Scriptable fan-out

kobe api lets another agent or shell script spawn more tasks. Automate the whole compare-and-keep loop.

// choose your engine

Bring whatever CLI you already trust.

Settings → Engine picks which AI CLI kobe runs for a task. Switch per task, or point it at your own command. Every attempt gets its own branch and worktree — compare the results, keep the good one, archive the rest.

  each in its own worktree + branch
