Master NTM (Named Tmux Manager) for orchestrating agents.
NTM is your command center for managing multiple coding agents.
It creates organized tmux sessions with dedicated panes for each agent.
NTM has a built-in tutorial. Start it now:
ntm tutorial
This will walk you through the basics interactively.
ntm deps -v
Verifies all required tools are installed.
ntm spawn myproject --cc=2 --cod=1 --agy=1
Creates a tmux session with multiple agent panes.
ntm list
See all running NTM sessions.
ntm attach myproject
Jump into an existing session to see agent output.
ntm send myproject "Analyze this codebase and summarize what it does"
This sends the same prompt to ALL agents in the session!
ntm send myproject --no-cass-check "Analyze this codebase and summarize what it does"
ntm --robot-send myproject --msg "Analyze this codebase and summarize what it does" --all
ntm send myproject --cc "Focus on the API layer"ntm send myproject --cod "Focus on the frontend"
Target specific agent types with different tasks.
Imagine this workflow:
For a typical project:
ntm spawn myproject --cc=2 --cod=1 --agy=1
Once inside an NTM session:
1# Create a test session2$ ntm spawn test-session --cc=134# List sessions5$ ntm list67# Send a simple task8$ ntm send test-session "Say hello and confirm you're working"910# Attach to see the result11$ ntm attach test-session
