+ Delivery confirmed over IPC.
initech routes messages through a local socket, not send-keys. Each message is acknowledged. If the target agent is restarting, the message queues. Coordination chains don't break silently.
A TUI purpose-built for agentic workflows._
See the work, not just the result. Reliable IPC, live activity detection, role system, cross-machine coordination.
initech routes messages through a local socket, not send-keys. Each message is acknowledged. If the target agent is restarting, the message queues. Coordination chains don't break silently.
initech watches each agent's terminal output in real time. Active, idle, and stuck surface immediately — across every pane at once, not one at a time.
initech integrates with the issue tracker and shows which bead each agent owns. When an agent finishes, every other agent sees the state change. You don't relay it manually.
Every agent gets its own pane. See all of them at once in a grid, or zoom into one. Switch layouts on the fly. No tmux required.
eng1 reports completion to super. Super dispatches to QA. Every message is confirmed delivered. No silent drops.
When an agent finishes, stalls, or hits an error loop, a toast fires. You don't poll — the runtime tells you.
Green dot means working. Gray means idle. Yellow means idle with tasks waiting. The overlay shows every agent's state and current task.
Agents claim beads, update status, and report completion. The TUI reads bead assignments directly and shows them in each pane's ribbon and the status overlay.
When an agent claims a bead, you see it immediately. When work finishes, a toast fires. When tasks are waiting and agents are idle, initech flags the mismatch.
Run initech serve on any remote machine. The local TUI streams all remote agent panes live. No SSH tunneling. One terminal shows your whole fleet.
initech send workbench:eng1 "start the API refactor" reaches an agent on a remote machine as reliably as a local one. initech peers lists every connected machine and its agents.
Not locked to Claude Code. Override the command per role with role_overrides in initech.yaml. Run Codex for one agent, Amp for another, Claude Code for the rest. Same IPC, same activity detection, same TUI.
role_overrides: codex-eng: command: ['codex', '--full-auto']. Each role gets its own CLI, flags, and behavior. The runtime doesn't care what's inside the PTY.
