Running coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor)

Genie is built for running coding agents in parallel, each in its own terminal node on the canvas.

Supported agents

Any agent you can run in a shell works. Genie is designed around the popular ones:

• Claude Code (claude)
• Codex (codex)
• Cursor (cursor-agent)

Agents that can drive the board

Genie injects a control bridge into every terminal node, so an agent can do more than print text — it can reshape your workspace. Through Genie's built-in agent tools, an agent can:

• Spawn a sibling shell node (for example, to run a dev server next to itself).
• Focus or arrange windows on the canvas.
• Organize the board as work progresses.
• Report progress back to you visually.

Working in parallel

Put one agent on a backend task, another on the frontend, a browser pane on the running app, and a notes node for your plan — all visible at once. When a Slack ping pulls you away, the board still holds the whole picture when you come back.
