01 / What it was

We rebuilt our whole agent setup inside a terminal workspace: a separate space for each project, a tab at the top for each agent, and each agent resumed where it had left off.

It was the first time the whole team fit on one screen, and it was fast.

02 / How it worked

  • One space per project, so switching projects meant switching rooms.
  • One tab per agent profile, each resumed into its previous session.
  • Reached from a laptop over a remote connection when away from the desk.

03 / What we saw

The most fluid text setup we used, and it felt a little magical. It broke down on small, constant things, like copying text when connected remotely.

04 / Where it led

Spaces per project and tabs per agent were already rooms. We just hadn't drawn them yet.
