Formerly **claude-manager**.

A terminal UI (TUI) for managing multiple coding-agent sessions — Claude Code, Codex CLI and Pi today, more harnesses planned — organized by projects and tasks. Built with Rust using [ratatui](https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui).

Showrunner uses tmux to run agent sessions in the background, letting you organize them into projects and tasks, monitor their status, review diffs, and attach/detach freely.

Prerequisites

• Cargo (Rust 1.85+) — install via rustup
• tmux — brew install tmux (macOS) or apt install tmux (Linux)
• An agent CLI on your PATH — Claude Code (claude, the default), Codex CLI (codex) and/or Pi (pi) — see Agent harnesses
• git — for worktree and branch management
• gh (optional) — GitHub CLI, for PR creation features
• hunk (optional) — the default diff review tool (r), a terminal diff viewer (modem-dev/hunk). Installed globally (npm i -g hunkdiff) it launches instantly; otherwise it runs via npx hunkdiff automatically (Node.js required), fetched on first use.
• difit (optional) — an alternative browser-based diff review tool, used when review_tool = "difit" is set in config. Installed globally (npm i -g difit) it launches instantly; otherwise it runs via npx difit automatically (Node.js required).
