Put a fleet of Claude Code agents
to work — unattended.

chela is a tiny control plane over a single tmux session. It schedules agents, dispatches a TODO list into pull requests, and streams the whole fleet on one live terminal wall. You walk away; the agents keep working.

Get started See what it does

# one tmux session whose windows are your agents
tmux new-session -d -s chela -n researcher

# schedule one, then run the daemon
uv run chela schedule add researcher --every 1h --prompt "Run your cycle."
uv run chela run

Most tools help you talk to agents.

chela is for putting them to work and walking away — and watching them however you already watch tmux: tmux attach, Mosh, or the optional web dashboard.

◷

Schedule agents

Poke an agent on an interval or cron — every 1h, 0 */8 * * *, or once at a set time. chela types the prompt into its pane when it fires.

⇶

Dispatch TODOs → PRs

Point chela at a WORKFLOW.md. Each open - [ ] becomes a git worktree, an agent that implements it, and an opened pull request.

▦

The wall

A live grid of every agent's terminal — drag, lock, maximize — with a context-window bar on each tile and 5h / weekly rate-limit pills up top.

How it works

01tmux is the source of truth

Discovery is tmux list-windows + pane_current_path — no external state file, no daemon to coordinate with. tmux never lies about what's live.

02One window per agent

Each window of your session is an agent; the window name is its display name. Schedules and messages target it by name.

03Dispatch is isolated

Every task runs in its own worktree on branch <project>-<n>, opens a PR, and auto-closes when you merge — many tasks in flight at once.

04Watch from anywhere

The dashboard binds loopback; put it behind a tailnet or SSH tunnel. Or skip the UI entirely and tmux attach from a phone over Mosh.

Install

Python ≥ 3.11, tmux, git, and the claude CLI. The core is two small deps; the dashboard is an optional extra.

# core
git clone https://github.com/Devail1/chelamux && cd chelamux
uv sync
uv run chela status

# optional web dashboard + terminal wall
uv sync --extra dashboard
uv run chela dashboard
