Claude Squad
FreeClaude Squad - Manage Multiple AI Terminal Agents at Once
About Claude Squad
Claude Squad is an open-source terminal application that enables developers to orchestrate and manage multiple AI coding agents simultaneously within isolated, git-tracked workspaces. It acts as a unified interface for agents such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini CLI, Aider, OpenCode, and Amp, allowing users to dispatch parallel tasks and review results in a single terminal window. Each task operates in its own independent git workspace, preventing code conflicts, and supports background execution with an optional auto-accept mode for fully automated workflows.
The tool provides a terminal-based user interface featuring session management, diff preview, git checkout capabilities, and workspace navigation. It is designed for developers who want to leverage multiple AI coding assistants without switching contexts, increase productivity by running tasks concurrently, and safely review changes before committing them. Claude Squad is installed as a command-line binary (cs) and relies on prerequisites such as tmux and gh for full functionality.
As an open-source project hosted on GitHub, Claude Squad encourages community contributions and customization. It is not a cloud service but a local application that orchestrates calls to various AI agent APIs, meaning users may need their own API keys and are subject to the pricing and usage limits of those third-party services.
