clideck
CLI Deck is an open-source web-based dashboard that provides a unified, WhatsApp-like interface for managing and orchestrating multiple AI coding agents simultaneously. Designed to streamline interaction with agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode, the tool allows developers to monitor live agent status, view full conversation transcripts, and seamlessly switch between different agent sessions. With its focus on parallel execution and agent coordination, CLI Deck enables users to run multiple coding tasks in separate agent threads, each maintaining its own context and history. The dashboard offers features like session resume, which lets developers pick up where they left off, and autopilot routing that intelligently distributes tasks among agents based on their capabilities or availability. A plugin system extends functionality, while built-in voice input and live status indicators ensure real-time feedback. Under the hood, CLI Deck manages agent processes, captures their outputs, and renders them in a clean, chat-like UI, reducing the cognitive load of juggling multiple terminal windows. Beyond basic management, CLI Deck supports advanced orchestration patterns. Its skills system and plugin architecture allow customization of agent behavior, and the routing mechanism can be configured to direct complex tasks to the most suitable agent automatically. The tool is actively developed with frequent updates and a growing community, making it a versatile hub for multi-agent coding workflows. By centralizing agent interactions, CLI Deck accelerates development cycles where multiple AI assistants are used in parallel, such as in monorepo management, concurrent feature development, or automated code review and generation pipelines. Its open-source nature ensures transparency and adaptability for individual developers and teams.

Problem solved
As AI coding agents proliferate, developers often find themselves running multiple agents in separate terminal sessions, leading to context switching, lost conversations, and inefficient task distribution. CLI Deck solves this by providing a single browser window where all agents can be monitored, tasks routed, and sessions resumed, effectively acting as a mission control for AI-assisted coding.
Use cases
- Running multiple AI coding agents concurrently for different parts of a large project, monitoring their progress in real time.
- Using autopilot routing to automatically assign bug fixes to the most capable agent based on language or framework.
- Resuming a paused coding session with any agent from where it left off, preserving full context and history.
- Collaborating on a monorepo by delegating each package's updates to a dedicated AI agent.
- Reviewing and comparing outputs from different agents on the same task to choose the best solution.
- Quickly switching between agents via a chat-like interface to give instructions or ask questions without terminal clutter.
