agent-deck

The agent-deck is a terminal session manager designed for AI coding agents, providing a unified text-based user interface (TUI) for interacting with various models such as Claude, Gemini, OpenCode, and Codex. Developers can streamline their coding workflow by easily switching between different AI tools without needing to leave the terminal, enhancing productivity and efficiency in coding tasks.

Once connected to the agent-deck server, you can interact with the available AI coding agents through simple command inputs. The TUI allows you to send queries or commands tailored for each specific tool, enabling you to generate code snippets, debug existing code, or receive explanations of code functionality. For optimal results, you can issue clear and concise prompts, ensuring the AI understands your intentions effectively.

To install agent-deck, you need to have Node.js installed on your machine.

Option A: For a quick start using npx (no global installation required), you can run:

npx -y agent-deck

Option B: If you prefer a global installation, you can use the following command:

npm install -g agent-deck

Make sure that you have the latest version of Node.js installed to avoid compatibility issues.

When setting up the agent-deck, ensure you configure any necessary environment variables that might be required for your specific AI tools to function correctly. A common pitfall is neglecting to set these variables, which can lead to unexpected errors. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the documentation of each AI model you intend to use to leverage their full capabilities effectively.
