I've been using this for the past few months, and I love it! It's built exactly around my workflow with many worktrees in various repos open at the same time, sometimes with different agents working side-by-side. Before Superset I just used terminal tabs but simply couldn't manage more than like 20 terminal tabs without losing track, so i coudn't scale further. Now i'm running probably 40-50 agent sessions over sever…

awesome to hear this! 40-50 is definitely on the high end. Are you adding any workflow on top to manage that many?

just gstack which comes with shared memory, so each session has access to another's state if needed.

At first glance, it looks similar to Conductor ( https://www.conductor.build/ ). It seems like a lot of these tools are converging on the same general ideas. Could you share a comparison with the other tools out there?

For me the greatest difference is that superset is terminal-centric while conductor is chat-centric.

GUIs slow you down, in my opinion. But having the nice visual diff is something we can't really do well in TUIs, so very welcome.

So, superset, for me (been using for quite some time now) is basically to organize my agent and terminal sessions per task and project.

I can switch context much easier and can also resume working on something days later, with all my tabs nicely available and separated.

This was consuming me before, a dozen or more tabs and windows in my computer that I don't really remember to which task each belongs to.

glad to hear it! thank you!

one issue i'm having, maybe you know what's causing this, in long running terminal sessions I'm getting rendering issues. Like some characters show as something else. I have to resize the window to fix it, usually opening and closing the code sidebar fixes it for some time, but it never fully goes away. I think i also have it more on the big screen (4k) than on the laptop screen.

Sorry if I'm missing something but is there a way to create a new Claude workspace that has dangerously-skip-permissions but starts in Plan mode? There's no mode selector in the new workspace modal

Yeah I have --dangerously-skip-permissions configured as a preset for Claude in Superset, but you can add more commands too. Just go to Settings > Terminal

That overrides plan mode though, eg it seems claude --dangerously-skip-permissions and --permission-mode plan can't be used together. So I can't kick off a workspace from Superset with a prompt that starts in Plan mode but can switch to dangerous

yeah there is a lot of overlap, we are more terminal first than conductor so you can do can use any cli agent you want. We have a lot more quality of life features around the terminal like notifications, and some things similar to tmux where if you kill the app or update your sessions stay alive and running. We also recently released remote workspaces so you can setup cloud workspaces for your agents. Id say if you l…

Very excited about the remote workspaces! Perfect for me as I've set up a remote Mac as a Claude terminal. I know it's only just released but the typing is quite laggy... have you considered something like mosh? I've been using this from the terminal and it makes it feel as fast as running locally.

Why Mac only? Also - one issue I've seen with other tools doing worktree stuff is they don't deal with merge conflicts automatically. IMO the agents should just automatically resolve conflicts & rebase on their own, is that a thing here?

Surely that's something you just instruct the model to do in your CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md right? Not really the domain of the IDE.

Note that Anthropic specifically called out that usage through Conductor will be metered as "programmatic usage" in their June 15th pricing change: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48126438

I don’t see any specific mention of Conductor, is this confirmed?

Ohh I see what you're saying. I guess you can start in plan mode and then once you're ready to tell it to proceed then shift+tab to auto mode?
