Agent of Empires (AoE)

_{Tuesdays at 9:00am ET (New York). RSVP to the next one and Discord will show it in your own timezone, or join the Discord first.}

A session manager for AI coding agents on Linux and macOS. Run agents in parallel across branches, monitor them from the TUI or a browser, and keep each one in a persistent session with optional worktree and container isolation.

How It Works

Each agent runs in its own tmux session, so your agents keep running when you close the TUI, disconnect SSH, or your terminal crashes. Reopen aoe and everything is where you left it. The key shortcut to know: Ctrl+b d detaches from a session and returns to the TUI.

Install

Requires tmux on Linux or macOS. Docker is optional, for sandboxing.

brew install aoe
# or
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/agent-of-empires/agent-of-empires/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Nix and source builds are covered in Installation.

aoe                          # Launch the TUI (press ? for help)
aoe add --cmd claude         # Create a session running Claude Code
aoe serve                    # Start the web dashboard

FAQ

What happens when I close aoe? Nothing. Sessions are tmux sessions running in the background; they are removed only when you delete them.

Which AI tools are supported? Run aoe agents for the current list and availability on your machine.

Can I use AoE over SSH? Yes. Sessions persist across disconnects; reconnect and run aoe again.

Does it work on Windows? Only through WSL2. AoE depends on tmux and POSIX process handling.

How is this different from plain tmux? tmux gives you persistent sessions. AoE adds agent-aware status detection, git worktree management, container sandboxing, a web dashboard with phone access, and a diff viewer around them. You can still tmux attach to any AoE session directly.
