Claude Squad is an open-source terminal application for managing multiple AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Aider in parallel, each running in isolated workspaces with independent git branches. It solves the challenge of coordinating multiple AI agents working on different tasks simultaneously by using tmux for isolated terminal sessions and git worktrees to ensure each agent works on its own branch without conflicts. Claude Squad enables developers to multiply their productivity by running several AI agents in the background while reviewing and merging their changes through a unified terminal interface.
Claude Squad provides a dashboard view showing all active agent instances and their current tasks, background task execution with auto-accept mode for unattended operation, git worktree isolation ensuring each agent works independently without conflicting file changes, and a review workflow for inspecting changes before merging them into the main branch. The tool supports managing instances and tasks in a single terminal window, with the ability to pause, resume, and monitor agent progress in real-time. Installation is available through Homebrew or manual setup, with the tool accessible as the cs command in the terminal.
Claude Squad targets developers and engineering teams who want to parallelize their AI-assisted development workflow by running multiple coding agents simultaneously on different tasks, features, or bug fixes. It integrates with any terminal-based AI coding agent including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini, and Aider, making it agent-agnostic and flexible. Claude Squad is particularly valuable for senior developers and tech leads who want to delegate multiple coding tasks to AI agents and review the results before merging, effectively turning a single developer into a team lead managing a squad of AI coding assistants.
