Run parallel Claude instances in persistent tmux panes. Sessions survive crashes and restarts.
Everything you need to run Claude Code at scale
Run multiple Claude Code instances side-by-side, each in its own tmux pane. Sessions persist across crashes, restarts, and multiple concurrent Thurbox instances.
Spawn sessions in isolated git worktrees for branch-level isolation. One-key sync (
Ctrl+S
) rebases all worktrees from origin/main, with automatic conflict resolution and
worktree cleanup on session close.
The built-in Admin session uses
thurbox-mcp
to spawn other sessions, dispatch prompts, and read their output — multi-agent
workflows driven conversationally with
create_session
,
send_prompt
, and
capture_session_output
.
Define global permission presets that control Claude's behavior. Configure permission
modes, allowed/denied tools, and scope patterns like
Bash(git:*)
.
Press
Ctrl+P
to queue follow-up prompts or pace multi-step workflows. Commands fire via a
dual-track timer (tmux + app-level) that survives crashes, and are fully manageable
through MCP.
Attach Claude Code skills to sessions at creation time. Skills are symlinked into each
session's
.claude/skills/
directory and auto-discovered by Claude Code. Manage skills globally via
Ctrl+E
.
The
thurbox-mcp
binary exposes 24 tools for managing roles, sessions, VMs, containers, and scheduled
commands over the Model Context Protocol. Manage everything conversationally via the
Admin session.
