`amux` is a tiny CLI that keeps your local AI/code agents organised inside tmux. Launch, attach, detach, and remove agent sessions with one consistent interface that works across shells.
## Features
- Works with multiple sessions per agent (e.g. `--name review-123`)
- Understands built-in agent commands (`codex`, `claude`, `gemini`) out of the box
- Respects `CA_AGENT_CMD_<NAME>` environment overrides and `--cmd`/`--params`
- Provides status, attach, detach, start, and remove subcommands
## Installation
```bash
cargo install amux
```
Or build from source:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/hewigovens/amux
cd amux
cargo install --path .
```
## Usage
```bash
# List running agent sessions
aamux status
# Launch the default codex agent
aamux start --agent codex
# Launch a second codex session with extra params
aamux start --agent codex --name review-123 --params "--mode review"
# Attach to an existing session (start it automatically if absent)
aamux attach --agent codex --name review-123 --start
# Detach all clients from a session
aamux detach --agent codex --name review-123
# Remove the tmux session entirely
aamux rm --agent codex --name review-123
```
### Custom agents
To register additional agents, set environment variables before running `amux`:
```bash
export CA_AGENT_CMD_myagent="my-agent-binary --flag foo"
```
You can also bypass configuration per command with `--cmd` and append extra arguments with `--params`.
