smith — forge your ai workflow

── multi-agent command center · v0.1.0 ──

The AI agent orchestrator that lets you run multiple AI coding assistants side-by-side. Launch Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, and OpenCode in parallel — each in its own git worktree, each on the machine you choose. A multi-agent development environment with native notifications, phone access, and every keystroke a shortcut away. Think of it as a terminal multiplexer for AI agents.

── features ──

Everything a multi-agent workflow needs, and nothing it doesn't.

multi-agent orchestration

Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Aider, and OpenCode in parallel. Each in its own terminal pane with custom naming and live status subtitles. Stream output in real time. Built-in MCP server lets agents query state, and smith.toml config-as-code means your team shares the same setup.

git worktree isolation

Each agent gets its own git worktree on its own branch. No merge conflicts. No "whose edit is this." Open the rich diff review panel (⌘⇧D) to browse a file tree with +/− counts, stage or discard changes, then commit & merge.

├── codex/      # smith/codex
└── aider/      # smith/aider

ssh remote agents

Point an agent at your 64-core dev box and let it churn. Wraps each session in tmux for resilience. "Add Remote" modal in settings with test-connection and password auth support. Inherits your ~/.ssh/config, agent, known_hosts. Full PTY streaming. MCP tools work over remotes too.

[[remotes]]
name = "workstation"
host = "[email protected]"
cwd  = "~/projects/app"

notification center

System tray icon with native OS notifications for crash, idle, and input-required events. In-app bell with unread badge. Do Not Disturb mode when you need focus. Never miss an agent asking for approval again.

diff review panel

⌘⇧D opens a rich diff panel. File tree sidebar with per-file insertion/deletion counts. Stage, unstage, or discard per file. Commit and merge to your base branch without leaving Smith.

mobile remote access

Access Smith from your phone on the same network. Built-in web server on port 3200 with WebSocket terminal streaming. Sidebar auto-hides on small screens. Triage agent output from the couch.

smart triage workflow

⌘K shows only agents needing attention, sorted by last activity. Unread output badges on tabs. "While you were away" summary on tab switch. ⌘1–⌘9 for instant agent switching.

cross platform

macOS and Windows from day one. The only open-source tool in this space that ships both. Linux coming soon.

── access from anywhere ──

Run Smith on your dev server. Open it from your phone, tablet, or any browser on the network. No app install needed — it's just a URL.

Smith ships a built-in web server on port 3200. Any device on your network can connect and get full terminal streaming, sidebar navigation, and agent controls. Triage agent output from the couch, approve prompts from your phone, or monitor a long-running task from your tablet.

WebSocket terminal streaming Bearer token auth Works over SSH tunnel

── config in, chaos out ──

── how it compares ──

Other tools are great. Smith is the only one that ships cross-platform on day one with SSH remote agents and a fair one-time price.
