Multi-Instance Terminal Cowork Juggle

What This Does

The staff engineer runs Claude Code across multiple iTerm tabs, labels each tab (local, remote SSH, side project), uses shift-tab plan mode on one while executing on another, and swaps tabs with command bracket keys. Slash /context and slash /compact keep each context window fresh.

What You Get

  • iTerm tab layout with labels
  • plan mode on one tab, execute mode on another
  • shift-tab toggle between modes
  • /context audit for token bloat
  • /compact for manual summarization
  • enable notifications for finished runs

Customize

  • tabs: named terminal panes
  • primary_model: Opus per tab
  • per_tab_workflow: plan, execute, review
  • notification_sound: alert on completion
  • tab_shortcut: which keys switch focus

Sample Output

The engineer plans a live-activity feature in tab one, deletes music code in tab two, and works on a newsletter project in tab three all in parallel.

Target Audience

Senior engineers who want max throughput from Claude Code
