Dmux Workflows
This is a patterns guide for running multiple AI coding agents in parallel using dmux, a tmux-based pane manager. You create separate panes with `n`, each running its own agent session (Claude Code, Codex, whatever), then merge results back with `m`. The skill covers five solid patterns: research plus implementation in parallel, splitting multi-file features, test-and-fix loops, cross-harness work, and parallel code reviews. It also documents an ECC helper script that automates git worktree creation per agent so they don't step on each other's file changes. Useful when you have a chunky task that splits cleanly into independent pieces, though you'll burn tokens faster since each pane is a full session.

dmux Workflows
Orchestrate parallel AI agent sessions using dmux, a tmux pane manager for agent harnesses.
When to Activate
- Running multiple agent sessions in parallel
- Coordinating work across Claude Code, Codex, and other harnesses
- Complex tasks that benefit from divide-and-conquer parallelism
- User says "run in parallel", "split this work", "use dmux", or "multi-agent"
What is dmux
dmux is a tmux-based orchestration tool that manages AI agent panes:
- Press
nto create a new pane with a prompt - Press
mto merge pane output back to the main session - Supports: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Gemini, Qwen
Install: Install dmux from its repository after reviewing the package. See github.com/standardagents/dmux
Quick Start
# Start dmux session
dmux
# Create agent panes (press 'n' in dmux, then type prompt)
# Pane 1: "Implement the auth middleware in src/auth/"
# Pane 2: "Write tests for the user service"
# Pane 3: "Update API documentation"
# Each pane runs its own agent session
# Press 'm' to merge results back
Workflow Patterns
