What do you want to do?

5 use cases

  • Track which of many coding agents needs your input

    Run several agents at once and see which are working, waiting, or finished in one sidebar.

    View prompt
    Using the diri repo at github.com/cristicretu/diri, check that the sidebar marks each of my running sessions as working, waiting, or finished. Output a list of session names with their status, and confirm that the session in <target-session> is marked waiting when it asks a question.

  • Give each coding task its own Git worktree and branch

    Run parallel agent tasks in separate worktrees so their changes never collide.

    View prompt
    In the diri repo at github.com/cristicretu/diri, confirm that each agent session for <task-list> has its own Git worktree and branch. Output a table of session, worktree path, and branch name, and verify that no two sessions share a branch.

  • Have one agent spawn and coordinate other agents

    Use the built-in MCP server so a lead agent can hand tasks to other agents and read their output.

    View prompt
    Using the diri repo at github.com/cristicretu/diri, have the lead agent spawn helper agents through the built-in MCP server to split <job-description> into subtasks. Output the list of helper agents, their tasks, and their results, and verify that each helper reported an output.

  • Review agent diffs and PR checks beside the session

    Inspect diffs, stage, commit, and follow PR checks next to the agent that wrote the code.

    View prompt
    In the diri repo at github.com/cristicretu/diri, open the session <target-session>, list the files changed in its diff, and confirm the staged changes match what I approved. Output the file list and the commit hash after commit.

  • Run coding agents on an SSH host you control

    Start agent sessions on a remote machine you own, without tmux, sudo, or a hosted relay.

    View prompt
    Using the diri repo at github.com/cristicretu/diri, start an agent session on the SSH host <ssh-host>, then close and reopen Diri. Output the session status before and after the restart, and verify the session still runs.

How to use Diri

  1. Check you have what it needs: macOS 15 or newer on Apple silicon or Intel, or x86_64 Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 for the Linux beta; Terminal coding agent CLIs and accounts already installed on your machine, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini; A Git repository to work in, since each agent can get its own Git worktree and branch.
  2. Open cristicretu/diri on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Install the app with brew install --cask cristicretu/diri/diri.
  4. Open Diri and start your agent sessions, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini.
  5. Read the sidebar to see which sessions are working, waiting, or finished.
  6. Switch to a session marked waiting and answer the agent.

These steps come from our top use case, Track which of many coding agents needs your input, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
