alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Corgi, a helpful {agent, terminal} multiplexer
Hey everyone,
Inspired by Herdr, I've built an agent multiplexer that I've been using as my daily driver for a few weeks now.
I think I improved on the concept in a few ways, focusing on the ergonomics I always wished I had:
I show you what the agents are up to, along with a running feed of their activity. There's also a simple shortcut (F1) to go to the next unread agent.
I use multiple accounts, so I've added unified launcher for Codex/Claude Code/Pi. Theres some careful ergonomics there: fast search and resume over sessions, inline usage tracking etc.
Many small quality of life improvements to the terminal experience: - Links can be copied with a click, so no need to drag-select over many lines - cmd+v just pastes images (even on SSH) - images have a thumbnail preview. - Built-in CPU/Memory/GPU usage tracking, broken down by workspace
I assume you have access to cheap inference (Luna/Haiku/etc). It just reuses the agents to organize things for you: what is this http link? what is this worktree about? what is each agent doing? It's small but it made my environment feel more cozy.
On a personal note, I've been on a frustrating sick leave for a while now. I created Corgi to challenge myself, and see if I can go back. The answer is more mixed than I had hoped, but I am happy with the result and thankful for the experience.
I hope you like it! a few friends & myself have been using it for a few weeks and it's been pretty nice. There's still a lot to improve and some rough edges, so feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you :)

Looks awesome! Will give it a try. I've built something similar, just open-sourced it:
I'm big on agent ergonomics. Cool to see what others are doing in the space.
I've been using herdr and this looks like a v2 of it. Will give it a try.

This is such an useful feature and I'm surprised so few tools bother to implement it.
Been using this for about a month, for me it’s been a great replacement for cmux with good simple design
please add it to brew, I don't like to use bash scripts https://nocurlbash.com/#en

its existed for a few weeks (and was vibe coded, I assume) and... you're announcing it to the entire world?
At this point any coder that forgot (or rather deliberately chose not to) to tell their agent
'oh btw, add the light theme as well and maybe read the system's, if that's not such a bother of course'
I know naming is hard, but there's another YC company with that name from a recent batch: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/corgi-insurance
