nickprotop.github.io/cxagent: install instructions, the plugin marketplace, and docs.

A multi-agent workbench for coding, in the terminal, built on SharpConsoleUI.

It is not one chat loop. Several agents are alive at once, each in its own tab with its own transcript and prompt, and sub-agents work in the background while you watch them and steer them.

Give any of them a goal in plain language. It reads your files, works out what to change, and changes them, in one context, with the real bytes in front of it. Anything outside your working folder asks first.

Bring your own model: Ollama, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or Anthropic.

One session closing three features in another repo, with the mistakes left in. The full walkthrough is on the site; docs/screenshots/ has the raw captures.

Install

Linux and macOS, no .NET required:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nickprotop/cxagent/master/install.sh | bash
cxagent

Windows, the .NET tool and building from source are in INSTALL.md. There is nothing to configure first: the first run asks where your model runs and writes the file for you.

Workers and sessions

Several agents at once, each in its own tab with its own history, model and permissions. The agent you talk to puts workers on a job — an explorer, a reviewer, a tester, a planner, a builder — and they run in the background while the conversation goes on: F7 lists them, and a finished one keeps its context for the next question. USING.md

Colleagues

Keep a worker and it becomes a colleague: after each task it is given, what it did is distilled into its experience, and it brings that into any session you call it into. Keep the one that learned a library in one repository and bring it into the next app that uses it. COLLEAGUES.md has a tutorial.

In a browser, on your phone

/web serves the session you are in to a browser, and cxagent web serves sessions with no terminal at all: the same turns, tabs and workers, its prompts answered from either screen. Follow a turn from your phone and answer its permission prompt there. USING.md

Models and plugins

Ollama, llama.cpp and any OpenAI-compatible server on your machine; Anthropic, OpenRouter and OpenAI in the cloud — every feature on every one, chosen per tab and per worker. F2 opens the plugin marketplace; MCP servers, skills, hooks and markdown commands sit beside it. CONFIG.md · EXTENDING.md
