OYAKATA puts 5 coding agents in one browser view

OYAKATA puts 5 coding agents in one browser view

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    A developer released OYAKATA, a browser tool that lists sessions from five coding agents — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI and OpenCode — and sends instructions back to them.

  2. Why it matters

    Because it watches sessions started anywhere, not only inside itself, engineers juggling several agent sessions in different terminals can see which ones are working, waiting or blocked on a permission prompt in one place.

WHO IT HITSDevelopers and engineers running multiple coding-agent sessions across terminals, VS Code and repos are the clearest beneficiaries, since the tool shows sessions started anywhere and lets them reply from the browser.

Context & Analysis

The project grew out of a specific frustration rather than a product plan: with four terminal tabs open, there was no way to tell which session was idle and which was waiting on a permission prompt, and long answers scrolled past in a wall of Read and Bash logs. The developer tried existing options — Orca, the official Agent View, Remote Control, and tmux-based and worktree-management tools — but each missed on at least one front, whether because it only showed sessions started inside it, because it still displayed plain terminal text, or because it assumed tmux and therefore did not fit a Windows machine.

OYAKATA's approach is to read the record files each agent already writes to disk, rather than wrapping or replacing the agents themselves. That is why sessions begun in a terminal or from a VS Code extension show up alongside ones started in the browser, and why worktrees were later added so parallel sessions in the same repository do not overwrite each other's files. The tool also ships a skill that tells the agent its output will be rendered in the browser, nudging it toward tables and diagrams instead of ASCII art — a small loop that the developer says made them actually read Claude's answers to the end.

FAQ
How do I install OYAKATA?
The easiest way is as a Claude Code plugin, with no Rust build required; from other agents, install the binary and run oyakata install once.
Does OYAKATA only see sessions it started?
No. It reads each agent's own record files, so sessions started in a terminal or from VS Code extensions also appear.
Can I send instructions to an agent from OYAKATA?
Yes. You can send instructions from the browser input box, and for Claude Code you can answer permission checks and questions there as well.
