Quorum Terminal runs your AI coding agents directly inside its terminals. Each terminal is independent, so you can drive Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI side by side in the same workspace, with shared file tree and git context.

Choosing an agent per terminal

Every terminal carries its own selected AI tool. Pick from Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI, and the choice stays bound to that terminal — switching one terminal never disturbs the others. This lets you keep a long-running agent in one pane while comparing a different provider in another.

Starting an agent

To launch the selected tool, focus the terminal and press ⌘ K. The agent starts in the active terminal and inherits the workspace context Quorum Terminal already loaded. To run a different provider, change the terminal's selected tool first, then start it the same way.

Provider shortcuts

Each provider surfaces its own in-terminal controls. Claude Code, for example, exposes model, thinking, and permission controls; Codex CLI has its own response and history controls. Rather than memorize every key, keep the reference open.

Tip: see the Keyboard shortcuts page for the full, always-current list of provider and app shortcuts.

Agent Radar

Agent Radar is a local panel that lists every Claude agent running on your machine — including agents you started outside Quorum Terminal. It runs locally and never proxies your agents; the actions it offers depend on whether an agent is one of yours or an external one:

  • Jump — focus the Quorum Terminal terminal that owns the agent.
  • Open / Fork / Attach — for an external agent, resume it, fork a copy, or attach to it.
  • Nudge — send a quick nudge to an agent that is waiting for input.

Agent Radar's panel rounds this out: its "Needs you" section surfaces the agents waiting for your input, so you can step away from a long run and return when one needs you.
