What is Runner?

Runner lets terminal coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI and pi work together on the same task in one mission, each keeping its own TUI in a real terminal.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.
