Score: 8.0/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 8, Documentation: 9, Utility: 7)

Thurbox is a Rust-based TUI and headless CLI that orchestrates multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, aider, etc.) in parallel using per-agent tmux sessions and git worktrees, so agents survive restarts and never collide on the working tree. Its Lua-scriptable UI, agent-neutral design, and inter-session messaging make it a compelling control plane for developers running fleets of coding agents.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, AI/ML engineers, power users running multiple coding agents
