I have a similar workflow except I haven’t put time into the tooling - Claude is adept at TMUX and it can almost even prompt and respond to ChatGPT except it always forgets to press Enter when it sends keys. Have your agents been able to communicate with each other with tmux send-keys?
I had the same issue. Subagents are nice but the LLM calling them can’t have a back and forth conversation. I tried tmux-cli and even other options like AgentAPI[0] but the same issue persists, the agent can’t have a back and forth with the tmux pane.
To people asking why would you want Claude to call Codex or Gemini, it’s because of orchestration. We have an architect skill we feed the first agent. That agent can call subagents or even use tmux and feed in the builder skill. The architect is harnessed to a CRUD application just keeping track of what features were built already so the builder is focused on building only.
I find that asking Claude to develop and Codex to review the uncommitted changes will typically result in high-value code, and eliminate all of Claude’s propensity to perpetually lie and cheat. Sometimes I also ideate with Claude and then ask Claude to get ChatGPT’s opinion on the matter. I started by copy-pasting responses but I found tmux to be a nice way to get rid of the middleman.
What does tmux add here? Or how does it allow you to do that? I’m sorry I’m just missing it I’m sure. I don’t use tmux a lot so I don’t know all its potential.
