Coordinate, don’t just tile
Attributed messaging, teams, tasks, approvals, and shared live context—not a window manager pretending to be orchestration.
◇Terminal-native multi-agent coordination
One lead.Many agents.One audited
terminal.
Launch, observe, and coordinate coding agents across different harnesses—without giving up control of your codebase.

◇Built for real collaboration
More than terminals
side by side.
clishake adds the coordination substrate that multiple coding agents actually need: identity, shared state, safe workspaces, and a human in control.
02⑂
Worktree-safe by default
Every editing agent gets its own branch and Git worktree. Overlaps are surfaced; writes are never silently lost.
03◎
Human control stays human
Approvals remain with the lead. Every action has an actor, timestamp, subject, and durable audit trail.
04↻
Disconnect-proof
Agents live in a dedicated tmux server. Close the terminal, come back later, and reconcile exactly what happened.
05◫
One honest adapter contract
Six harnesses today, a clean extension seam tomorrow. Capabilities are reported only when a harness truly supports them.

◇From zero to coordinated
One command opens
the control room.
Initialize clishake inside any project, add the harnesses you already use, and start routing work. Supported on macOS and Linux, and on Windows through WSL2.

/ask flow · exact plan shown before execution◇Natural language, explicit control
Ask for the outcome.
Approve the exact plan.
clishake can translate intent into a whitelisted command plan using the AI CLI already on your machine. It shows every command before anything runs.
Give your agents
a proper handshake.
Open source. Terminal-native. Human-controlled.
