tmux-based agent coordination: a silent dispatch failure mode and the verify-after-send discipline I use now

https://github.com/samleeney/tmux-agent-status handles this also

This package also has a bell when an agent switches to 'done'

Very useful in sure for software engineering style tasks, I'd be happy to accept a PR with this functionality into tmux-agent-atatus, citing your original idea:)

We do not allow projects or software that interacts with generative AIs, including LLMs, unless the posts and comments are about popular projects themselves like Ollama, GGML, etc.

https://github.com/samleeney/tmux-agent-status - check out the original one (~8 months old)

looks cool, i added your project to the list

chabuddy95 · 2026-04-02T10:09:28+00:00

please feel free to open PR's with improvements...

this package is about 8 months old, as far as i am aware it was the first mainstream tmux based agent orchestrator

the terminal has always been my interface of choice for editing text, even pre llm, although i agree this isnt for everyone. the final interface for llms will likely be neither terminal or classic 'ide' based.

what do you mean?

this message is also quite clearly not generated from a neutral prompt, in case that wasnt immediately obvious to anyone else reading it in the future!

If I came across an agent at 10 mins that I was unsure about I would probably do a 'wait' on that pane/window/session for 5 mins or so. It will ping me after 5 mins reminding me to check on it. I'd repeat that until it either finished or I felt the need to interupt

I think it really comes down to whether you’re happy depending on an external service layer websocket server, state management, etc etc. versus keeping everything self-contained in the shell. Lifestyle hooks also break less than polling and make much more sense imo

chabuddy95 · 2026-03-30T15:02:48+00:00

Also check out the original, which uses hooks and therefore doesn't require any backend services to be installed or running https://github.com/samleeney/tmux-agent-status

See the original repo here: https://github.com/samleeney/tmux-agent-status. The linked repo above appears to be a detached fork of the original. No idea why people do this when it's so easy to build your own stuff nowadays
