Agent of Empires (AoE) is a terminal session manager designed for running multiple AI coding agents on Linux and macOS, leveraging tmux and written in Rust. It allows users to operate various AI agents, such as Claude Code and Codex CLI, in parallel while providing isolated sessions. Each session can be customized with project-specific settings stored in a configuration file. Docker sandboxing is available for those who want to run agents in containers, enhancing security and isolation.
The software features a text user interface (TUI) dashboard to create, monitor, and manage sessions easily. Users can toggle between AI agent views and shell terminal views, check the status of agents, and utilize git worktrees to manage agents across different branches. Key functionalities include a diff view for reviewing changes and editing files without leaving the TUI, as well as CLI commands for session management. The installation process is straightforward, requiring tmux and optionally Docker, with multiple methods available, including a simple curl command or Homebrew installation.
For operation, AoE wraps around tmux sessions, meaning sessions persist even when the TUI is closed. Users can reattach to their sessions at any time, and the system auto-detects installed AI agents. Known issues, such as specific problems with Claude Code, are documented to inform users. Debugging tools are available, including commands for type-checking, testing, and linting, which help maintain code quality. The project is open-source under the MIT License, inviting collaboration and contributions from the community.
