Tmux-native metaharness

The layer above your coding agents.

Hive does not replace Claude Code, Codex, Pi, or your shell. It gives them a shared tmux command center with isolated git workspaces or worktrees, live status, repo context, task coordination, and inter-agent messaging.

The Metaharness Layer

Coding tools already have strong harnesses: prompts, permissions, tool calls, auth, and terminal behavior. Hive leaves those loops alone. It sits above tmux to manage sessions, show what is happening, and help agents communicate.

See What Hive Actually Is

Hive is a tmux-native command center for local agents, isolated git workspaces, project commands, and interactive terminals. It keeps your stack visible and gives Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and the rest of your tools one shared control surface.

The Layer Above Your Agent Tools

Hive gives terminal agents the shared room they are missing: isolated workspaces, live visibility, shared memory, and coordination primitives.

Workspace Management

Create and manage isolated git workspaces — full clones by default, worktrees when you prefer shared object storage.

 Terminal Integration

Track Claude Code and Codex status alongside shell, test, and dev-server tmux windows.

 Task Tracking

Use built-in epics, tasks, blockers, comments, and assignment to coordinate work across agents.

 Shared Context

Keep plans, research, notes, and handoffs in a repo-scoped `.hive` context directory agents can share.

 Inter-agent Messaging

Send direct or broadcast messages between sessions using Hive's pub/sub inboxes.

 Custom Workflows

Bind keys and commands to your own scripts, review flows, dev servers, test runners, and agent tools.
