AI Analysis

●●SolidShip ItNiche Gem

Hacks native Claude/Codex internals to group sessions by worktree, but macOS-only and preview bugs.

Strengths
  • •Uses native provider extensions instead of replacing them, preserving existing auth and models.
  • •Groups terminals, sessions, and changed files by Git worktree in one VS Code window.
  • •Discovers real Git worktrees from registered repositories automatically.
Weaknesses
  • •macOS Apple Silicon only; no Windows, Linux, or Intel Mac support yet.
  • •Session state observation is best-effort and can be stale or unavailable.
Target Audience

Developers using Git worktrees with Claude Code or Codex in VS Code

T3 Code

Post Description

Running parallel Claude Code/Codex agents across worktrees in vscode is annoying. You need different vscode windows open and have to run around terminals and dev servers.

Argus is a free VS Code extension that puts all of it in one window. It uses the native Claude/Codex extensions (so a bit buggy, I'm hacking around their internals), and sorry about the shit onboarding, it's a preview.

T3 Code looks like a very good alternative if you'd rather have a standalone app; this one's for staying inside VS Code.

If folks like this I'll put some more effort getting it in good shape (this version was good enough for me rn lol)
