// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide your workflow: which agents handle research, planning, implementation, and review for your tasks.

  2. Get the project

    Install agtx with the install script (or build from source with the serve feature), and add .agtx/ to your project's .gitignore.

  3. Install and configure

    Run agtx inside a git repository and configure project agents in config.toml.

  4. Run your first task

    Create a task with the wizard, advance it through phases with the board keys, and watch agent sessions live, from the terminal or your phone.

// features

Why people love it

Parallel multi-agent task lifecycle

Different agents can be configured per workflow phase, with automatic agent switching and context handover as tasks move from planning to review.

Multi-project Kanban TUI

Manage agent sessions across all your projects from one terminal board with Vim-native keybindings.

Dependency graph and blackboard model

Tasks that build on others are held until dependencies reach review or done, and relevant diffs and artefacts are carried into downstream context.

Spec-driven workflow plugins

Plug in frameworks such as GSD, Spec-kit, OpenSpec, BMAD, or Superpowers, define your own workflow in a single TOML file, or choose the plain void plugin for simple session management.

Mobile board

Press W to serve the board, diffs, and live agent terminal to your phone via QR pairing, over Wi-Fi or your Tailscale network.

Orchestrator and oneshot skills

An experimental orchestrator agent manages the board over MCP, and the oneshot skill can run the whole board unattended in milestone waves, including merge-conflict handling.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone and build from source (alternative)

    Released binaries are built with the serve feature for the mobile board.

    git clone https://github.com/fynnfluegge/agtx.git
    cd agtx
    cargo build --release --features serve
  2. Install the release binary

    The install script sets up agtx on your machine.

    curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fynnfluegge/agtx/main/install.sh | bash
  3. Run it in a project

    Start the board in any git repository and create your first task with the o key.

    cd your-project && agtx

Questions, answered

Who maintains it?

It is maintained by fynnfluegge on GitHub.

Is it free to use?

Yes, agtx is Apache-2.0 licensed and free. The coding agents it launches use your existing subscriptions or API keys for those tools.

Does it need a paid API key?

agtx itself needs no key; it orchestrates agent CLIs such as Claude Code and Codex that you have already authenticated.

How does it compare to a well-known alternative?

A single-agent terminal gives you one session at a time; agtx is a shared board where many agents and models work a task lifecycle in parallel, each isolated in its own worktree and tmux window.

How do I get started?

Install with the curl script, cd into a git repo, run agtx, and press o to create your first task.
