SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

cmux solves the challenge of coordinating AI agents across multiple terminal splits and browser automation by providing a programmable terminal multiplexer that unifies parallel workspaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Terminal Splits: create side-by-side or stacked panes to run commands concurrently.
  • Browser Automation: a Playwright-like headless browser API for automated web interactions within agent workflows.
  • Agent Teams: coordinate parallel subagents with visible splits, status, and lightweight messaging patterns.

Quick Start

Use cmux to create a new right-split and initialize a parallel agent workspace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate AI agents across multiple terminal splits?

Terminal multiplexing for AI agents involves creating side-by-side or stacked panes to run commands concurrently. This approach unifies parallel workspaces, allowing subagents to operate with visible status updates and lightweight messaging patterns.

Can I run headless browser automation within parallel agent workflows?

Yes, headless browser automation is supported within parallel agent workflows via a Playwright-like API. It enables automated web interactions directly inside terminal splits, allowing concurrent subagents to perform coordinated browser tasks.

Do I need a specific CLI to manage parallel workspaces and terminal splits?

Yes, managing parallel workspaces requires a CLI with commands to create and manage terminal splits. This CLI tracks subagent status and emits structured outputs for downstream tooling, ensuring coordinated parallel execution.

What is the best way to track status across parallel subagents?

The best way to track status across parallel subagents is using a programmable terminal multiplexer with visible splits. It monitors concurrent execution and emits structured outputs for downstream tooling, ensuring clear visibility into agent workflows.

How do I emit structured outputs for downstream tooling from terminal automation?

To emit structured outputs for downstream tooling, use a programmable terminal multiplexer CLI that tracks subagent status and coordinates browser interactions. This unifies parallel workspaces and feeds structured data directly to subsequent processes.
