Git worktree-based task manager with integrated terminals for CLI coding agents
A transparent discovery signal based on current public GitHub metadata.
This score does not audit code, security, maintainers, documentation quality, or suitability. Verify the repository and its current documentation before adoption.
Ouijit is a customizable task and terminal session manager that integrates with agent CLIs and TUIs via lifecycle hooks, scripts, and a session-aware CLI. It offers basic comforts for agentic development like live agent status with notifications, automatic worktree management for parallel workstreams, and VM sandboxing for untrusted code.

The ouijit command is available in every terminal Ouijit opens. You can use it directly from the shell to create and advance tasks, manage hooks and scripts, or open markdown files and web previews as panels on the current terminal:
ouijit task list # array of tasks in the current project
ouijit task current # task owning this terminal
ouijit task create-and-start "Fix login bug" # new task + worktree + terminal
ouijit task set-status 5 in_review
ouijit hook set start --command 'claude "$OUIJIT_TASK_DESCRIPTION"'
ouijit script run Lint
ouijit markdown add ./plan.md # open a markdown file as a panel
ouijit preview add http://localhost:3000 # open a web preview panel
The supported harnesses (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode) know how to use it out of the box. Output is JSON on stdout for easy piping into jq. Full command list in the docs.
