**A swarm-native terminal platform that replaces legacy terminal workflows for massive AI agent orchestration.** 54 workspace crates. 483 core modules. 45,000+ tests. Purpose-built for fleets of 200+ concurrent AI coding agents.

_Summary counts last verified against the current checkout on April 6, 2026: 54 workspace crates, 47 vendored workspace crates under `frankenterm/`, 483 `crates/frankenterm-core/src` Rust modules, and 790k+ core-library Rust lines._

Quick Install

cargo install --git https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/frankenterm.git --bin ft frankenterm

`ft --version` should work immediately after install. `ft doctor` / `ft doctor --json` also run immediately. Pane/session operations that talk to the live mux require the current interop boundary to be reachable: WezTerm CLI in `PATH` and a reachable WezTerm GUI/mux for `wezterm cli list`.

TL;DR

**The Problem**: Running large AI coding swarms across ad-hoc terminal panes is chaos. You can't reliably observe state, detect rate limits or auth failures, coordinate handoffs, or automate safe recovery without brittle glue code. When you're running 50+ Claude Code / Codex / Gemini agents simultaneously, a single undetected rate limit wastes hours of compute. A stuck agent silently burns tokens. An auth failure goes unnoticed for 30 minutes. You have no search across agent output, no audit trail, no way
