Description
Rudder is a TUI for managing coding agents. Run Claude Code, Codex and opencode side by side, each in its own isolated jj workspace. • See which agent needs you and approve prompts • Steer any agent mid-turn, go full screen with ⌥h • /plan a goal into a DAG, /gam a builder with a reviewer • Run the whole dashboard in Rudder Cloud • Merge with one key npm i -g @viraatdas/rudder GitHub: github.com/viraatdas/rudder Free and open source (MIT)

Could you build this?
Partial While building a terminal UI (e.g. using Ratatui or Ink) is accessible, orchestrating multiple concurrent AI CLI agents, managing isolated Jujutsu (jj) VCS workspaces, and handling dynamic DAG execution require complex local systems engineering.
What it would actually take: The stack would likely use Rust (Ratatui/crossterm) or Go (Bubbletea) interacting with pty/process spawners. The difficult part is reliable bidirectional PTY process handling, managing Jujutsu VCS operations programmatically, and building a multi-agent orchestration state machine that supports mid-turn human-in-the-loop steering.
