**ae** runs AI coding agents side-by-side in tmux. They know about each other, communicate by name, and survive reboots. One public command, a Rust core, and only the pane glue left in Bash.

Works with [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex), [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli), [Grok Build](https://github.com/xai-org/grok-build), [OpenCode](https://github.com/opencode-ai/opencode), or any CLI tool.

🦀 **P5 entered 2026-08-31; `main` carries the post-strangler product.** The public `ae` command validates and invokes an immutable Rust core plus policy-frozen, shrinking Bash pane glue with the P5 sibling-binding routing fix. The previous `ae-next` coexistence surface is unreachable via the public entry; its design record remains [historical](docs/migration/coexistence.md). Direction, reasons and phases: **[VISION.md](VISION.md)**.

The first Rust-era release tag is pending; the version badge flips when that tag exists.

Why ae

One command -- ae starts a session, ae reattaches. That's the whole workflow.
Agents talk to each other -- each agent gets workspace context injected into its system prompt. They send messages by name, spawn new agents, and coordinate without manual wiring.
Everything survives reboots -- sess
