A persistent terminal session does not guarantee persistent model context or a sandbox. ## Frequently asked ### What is a terminal session manager? Terminal session managers organize coding-agent processes, terminal panes, and project sessions. Some also create Git worktrees and help with branch workflows. ### Who should use a terminal session manager? Developers who prefer terminal agents and need to switch between several tasks without losing session context. ### What are the tradeoffs of terminal session managers? Session management depends on the underlying agent runtimes. A persistent terminal session does not guarantee persistent model context or a sandbox. ### Which terminal session managers are in the catalog? 8 as of 2026-10-19: Claude Squad (smtg-ai), Agent Deck (asheshgoplani), Agent of Empires (Agent of Empires), CCManager (kbwo), dmux (Standard Agents), Named Tmux Manager (NTM) (Dicklesworthstone), Herdr (herdrdev), Rex (Superlogical). ### Does a session manager include model access? Usually the coding agent and its model account remain separate. Check each project’s runtime requirements before installing it.
