Gate Inbox — Development skill for Claude Code

A terminal board for running and triaging many AI coding-agent sessions in tmux.


Spawn two agents, watch their status, answer the waiting one from the triage queue, and it hands over the next.

Gate Inbox puts every coding agent on your machine in one list with live status, so the session that is blocked on you is visible without hunting through terminal tabs. Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode v2 work out of the box and run side by side, each in its own tmux session. Any other CLI can be added as a `[tools.]` block in the config.

It is a thin layer over the CLIs you already have. Each session launches your installed tool as-is, so your login, config files, MCP servers and every feature the tool ships carry over unchanged. Gate Inbox reads the panes; it does not sit between you and the model.

Install

Gate Inbox runs on Linux and macOS, and on Windows inside WSL2. It needs **tmux 3.1+** and **git** on `PATH`, plus at least one agent CLI. Building needs **Go 1.26.5+**.

git clone https://github.com/usestring/gate-inbox.git
cd gate-inbox
go build -o gate-inbox .

Or `go install github.com/usestring/gate-inbox@latest`, which puts `gate-inbox` in `$(go env GOPATH)/bin`. [`docs/install.md`](docs/install.md) covers optional dependencies, WSL and updating.

Quick start
