Overview

Agent of Empires (aoe) is a Rust session manager for AI coding agents on Linux and macOS. Each agent runs in its own tmux session, optionally in a git worktree or a Docker, Podman or Apple Containers sandbox. You monitor sessions from a TUI, a web dashboard (`aoe serve`), the CLI or an HTTP API.

Who it is for: Developers running several CLI coding agents in parallel on branches

Strengths

Sessions are tmux-backed, so agents survive closing the TUI or dropping SSH
Per-session git worktrees and multi-repo workspaces for parallel work across branches
Optional container sandboxing with Docker, Podman or Apple Containers
TUI, web dashboard with phone view, CLI and HTTP API all available

Weaknesses

Requires tmux; Windows only works through WSL2
Does not provide an agent itself; you bring Claude Code or another CLI agent
Supported agent list is not in the README; it requires running `aoe agents`
Web dashboard port and auth setup are not documented in the README

What it needs

no GPU
Docker
Needs tmux, Docker (optional, for sandboxing)

How to choose

Check which models it can use: your own keys, local models, or only the vendor's.
See what it may do without asking (edit files, run shell, push) and how you approve.
Prefer agents that work in a branch or worktree you can throw away.
