SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating task distribution across multiple tmux worker panes to keep parallel work flowing and reduce manual context switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-scale: spawn new worker panes when there are no idle workers
  • Pre-flight checks: ensure a worker is ready before dispatch
  • Safe dispatch: verify task ready before pasting to pane
  • Subtask tracking: propagate task context to workers

Quick Start

Start Doey in a project directory to begin dispatching tasks to idle worker panes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I dispatch tasks to idle tmux panes automatically?

You can dispatch tasks to idle tmux panes automatically by running Doey in your project directory, which monitors worker panes and delegates tasks to keep parallel workflows moving. It performs pre-flight readiness checks before pasting tasks to panes.

Can I auto-scale tmux worker panes when no idle workers are available?

Yes, you can auto-scale tmux worker panes. When no idle workers are available, the system spawns new worker panes automatically to ensure your multi-user workflow continues flowing without manual intervention.

How does parallel execution in tmux handle subtask tracking?

Parallel execution in tmux handles subtask tracking by propagating task context to workers. This ensures that each worker pane receives the necessary task context for safe paste-to-pane execution and continuous monitoring.

What is the best way to coordinate task distribution across multiple tmux panes?

The best way to coordinate task distribution across multiple tmux panes is using an automated dispatcher like Doey. It reduces manual context switching by assigning tasks only to verified, ready workers and tracking their progress.

Do I need pre-flight checks before pasting tasks to tmux panes?

Yes, you need pre-flight checks before pasting tasks to tmux panes. These checks verify that a worker is ready for dispatch, ensuring safe paste-to-pane execution and preventing task failures in your parallel workflow.

Why does my tmux workflow stall when dispatching parallel tasks?

Your tmux workflow stalls when dispatching parallel tasks if there are no idle workers to accept new commands. Using an automated dispatcher solves this by auto-scaling new panes and delegating tasks to ready workers.
