Access and use

brew install claude-squad, or curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/smtg-ai/claude-squad/main/install.sh | bash, which puts cs in ~/.local/bin. Read the script before running it. Needs tmux and the GitHub CLI (gh). The default program is claude; start others with cs -p "codex", and the README sets OPENAI_API_KEY for Codex. The s key commits and pushes the session's branch to GitHub. The experimental -y (--autoyes) flag accepts every prompt for Claude Code and Aider without asking. Config is in ~/.claude-squad/config.json. AGPL-3.0.

Who it is for

Developers who want parallel coding agents on one repository from a single terminal window.
