Claude Code and Codex tabs

On main, next release

01 / What it was

A terminal's "+" button became a new-tab menu: Shell, Hermes, Claude Code and Codex. Any desk can now run Anthropic's Claude Code or OpenAI's Codex in a tab, not only Hermes.

Omo Space runs these tools; it does not ship them. The change was merged on 28 October, a few hours after v1.2.0, and is waiting for the next release.

02 / How it worked

  • The last pick is remembered, so "+" then Enter opens another of the same. Tabs show a small glyph for what they run.
  • Agent tabs run inside the same session server as shells, so they survive closing the screen and quitting the game. Quitting the agent leaves a shell prompt.
  • Claude Code keeps one session per tab and resumes it after a restore. Codex starts fresh.
  • If a tool is not installed, the tab says so and prints the install command, and stays a shell.

04 / Where it led

The desks stopped being tied to one agent.
