# orchestmux — multi-agent orchestration in tmux
`orchestmux` spawns coding-agent CLIs as tmux panes and gives every dispatched
task a reporting protocol, so a coordinator can block on actual completion
instead of scraping terminal output.
You are normally the **coordinator**. Workers are separate agent processes in
tmux panes; they report back by calling the CLI.
## Preconditions
Check once before coordinating:
```bash
orchestmux ps # also confirms the CLI is installed and state is readable
tmux -V
```
If `orchestmux` is not on PATH, stop and tell the user how to install it
(`npm i -g orchestmux`, or `npm link` from a clone) rather than improvising a
substitute.
## When to use
- The user wants two or more agents working at the same time.
- The user wants work delegated to a *specific* agent (codex, kimi, …) while
still getting the result back here.
- A job splits cleanly into independent pieces worth running concurrently.
## When not to use
- Work you can simply do yourself in this session. Spawning an agent to do a
two-file edit is slower and burns another quota.
- The user asked to hand something off and explicitly does *not* want it
supervised — then just spawn and dispatch, and do not sit in `wait`.
## The coordinator loop
```bash
orchestmux up # idempotent
orchestmux spawn --name w1 --agent codex --yolo
TASK=$(orchestmux task add "<precise, self-contained spec>")
orchestmux dispatch --task $TASK --to w1
