  |---|---|
21
- | **Pestañas** | Varias sesiones vivas a la vez, cada una en su directorio. Sobreviven a un `F5`: los procesos viven en el servidor, no en la pestaña del navegador. |
22
- | **Historial** | Tus proyectos y conversaciones anteriores en la barra lateral, con filtro. Abrir una la retoma con `--resume`, en el mismo archivo. |
23
- | **Conversación** | Los mensajes de la sesión activa, en vivo, con las herramientas plegadas y su resultado adentro. Búsqueda, salto entre resultados y copiado por mensaje. |
24
- | **Medidor de contexto** | Tokens de la última petición contra la ventana del modelo. Tokens, nunca dinero. |
25
- | **Cambios** | Rama, adelanto y atraso contra la rama de seguimiento, worktrees, y los archivos tocados con su diff. **Solo lectura.** |
26
- | **Archivos** | El árbol del directorio de la pestaña, con carga perezosa y previsualización con resaltado de sintaxis. Menú contextual para copiar rutas, insertarlas como `@ruta` o abrir el archivo con la app del sistema. |
27
- | **Tema** | Claro, oscuro, o el del sistema. |
31
+ | **Tabs** | Several live sessions at once, from any of the CLIs, each in its own directory. They survive an `F5`: the processes live on the server, not in the browser tab. Each tab's dot tells you whether the agent is working, idle or waiting for an answer, on the CLIs that publish their status ([below](#multiple-clis)). |
32
+ | **Zero-cost startup** | When you open the app, tabs come back as **sleeping tabs**: you can read them in full, and they don't launch any CLI. You open the CLI with a button when you want to write to the agent. |
33
+ | **History** | Your projects and past conversations in the sidebar, with a filter, and those of all four CLIs together under each project, each with its badge. Opening one resumes it with its CLI, in the same session. **Archive history…** hides a CLI's sessions from before today in one go, and each project can be archived whole with one button: nothing is deleted, and both can be undone. |
34
+ | **Conversation** | The active session's messages, live, with tool calls collapsed and their results inside. Search, jump between matches, copy any message and, depending on the CLI, answer the agent's questions from the chat. |
35
+ | **Continue with…** | With more than one CLI installed, a conversation can be continued with another CLI in the same folder. The new agent starts from a transcript of the last turns, not from the context the previous one had. |
36
+ | **Search everything** | With more than one CLI and something saved in the local copy, the sidebar filter also searches the text of every saved conversation, not just their titles. |
37
+ | **Context meter** | Tokens from the last request against the model's context window. Tokens, never money. |
38
+ | **Changes** | Branch, ahead and behind against the upstream branch, worktrees, and the changed files with their diff. **Read-only.** |
39
+ | **Files** | The tree of the tab's directory, with search by name and a preview with syntax highlighting. A context menu to copy paths, insert them as `@path` or open the file with the system's default app. |
40
+ | **Plans** | The documents written by that conversation, rendered: the plans from plan mode, and also the `.md` files the agent created inside the project or in the session's temp folder. Only those named by the conversation you're viewing. |
41
+ | **Shared memory** | What agents learn about a project, in `.agents/memory/`, read and written by all four CLIs ([below](#shared-memory)). |
42
+ | **Local copy** | Optional. The history of all four CLIs in a folder of yours, in the app's own format, so you don't lose it if a CLI changes its format, deletes it, or you uninstall the CLI ([below](#local-copy-optional)). |
43
+ | **Nine languages** | The interface in English, Español, 简体中文, 日本語, Português (Brasil), Русский, 한국어, Français and Deutsch. It follows the browser's language and can be changed from the header, without reloading. |
44
+ | **Theme** | Light, dark, or the system's. |

+ ### Multiple CLIs
52
+
53
+ With more than one CLI installed, every session in the sidebar and every tab
54
+ carries its CLI's badge, and the new-tab `+` opens with the one you used in that
55
+ project; its arrow lets you pick another. With just one, you see none of this.
56
+
57
+ <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cvelasquez/agent-workbench/main/assets/captura-clis.png" width="45%" alt="The projects sidebar with sessions from several CLIs, each with its badge, and the + menu with the four CLIs and their versions">
58
+
59
+ **Not every CLI exposes the same things.** Claude Code leaves everything the app
60
+ needs in its files. Codex leaves the history and the meter's tokens, but not its
61
+ status, its pending permissions, its questions or the model: its dot says the
62
+ status is unknown, there's no "waiting" notice and questions are answered in its
63
+ terminal. With OpenCode, the app starts a local OpenCode server when you open a
64
+ tab, and that's where its status, the notice that it's waiting for a permission
65
+ and the questions you answer from the chat come from. Antigravity CLI publishes
66
+ its status and tokens only if you configure its status line
67
+ ([below](#antigravity-cli-status-and-meter-optional)).

86
+ Agent Workbench does **not** bundle or download any CLI: it uses the ones you

+ already have in your `PATH`. If it doesn't find any, it tells you so and doesn't
88
+ open sessions.
89
+
90
+ Tested on Windows 11 with PowerShell, which is the main platform. macOS and
91
+ Linux work the same. On Linux, the `node-pty` dependency doesn't ship a prebuilt
92
+ binary and is compiled on install: you need `python3`, `make` and a C++ compiler
93
+ (`build-essential` on Debian and Ubuntu).

116
  URL http://127.0.0.1:52341/?token=…
74
117
  ```
75
118
 
76
- Esa URL es la única forma de entrar. El token es distinto en cada arranque, y el
77
- servidor escucha solo en `127.0.0.1`.
119
+ That URL is the only way in. The token is different on every start, and the
120
+ server listens only on `127.0.0.1`.
121
+
122
+ ### Shared memory
123
+
124
+ Each CLI keeps what it learns about a project in its own folder, and the others
125
+ can't see it. The **Memory** tab installs a bridge so all four use the same one:
126
+ notes in the project's `.agents/memory/`, which each CLI reads and writes —from
127
+ here or from its own terminal— through `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md`.
128
+
129
+ **Preview changes** shows, file by file, what will be written, and nothing is
130
+ touched until you confirm. Installing imports the memory Claude Code already had
131
+ for that project. The app doesn't write each CLI's global memory: it gives you
132
+ the snippet to paste yourself.
133
+
134
+ <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cvelasquez/agent-workbench/main/assets/captura-memoria.png" width="70%" alt="The Memory tab with the bridge installed for the four CLIs and the imported notes">
135
+
136
+ ### Antigravity CLI: status and meter (optional)
137
+
138
+ Antigravity CLI doesn't record in any file whether it's working, waiting for you
139
+ to authorize a tool or idle, nor how many tokens it has used: it only publishes
140
+ that through its *status line*. Without it configured, its tabs work the same
141
+ —history, conversation, mode, model— but the tab's dot says the status is
142
+ unknown and the meter stays empty. To turn it on:
143
+
144
+ 1. Open an Antigravity tab and click **Configure**, next to the meter.
145
+ 2. Copy the line the dialog shows and merge it into whatever
146
+ `~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/settings.json` already has. The app doesn't touch
147
+ that file: you edit it.
148
+ 3. The dialog switches to **Configured** on its own within a couple of seconds,
149
+ or with **Check**.
150
+
151
+ The line runs a script the app keeps in its own folder. It saves only each
152
+ conversation's status, mode, model and tokens, in that same folder; it doesn't
153
+ save your email, quota, plan or cost, which the CLI also passes to it, and it
154
+ prints nothing, so the CLI's own status line stays as it is. Once set, **every**
155
+ `agy` session runs it, including those you open outside the app, and it needs
156
+ `node` in the `PATH`. On Windows the line changes into the script's folder
157
+ instead of naming the script in quotes: the CLI runs it with `cmd /c`, and no
158
+ quote reaches `node` intact.
159
+
160
+ ### Local copy (optional)
161
+
162
+ Each conversation's history belongs to its CLI, in its format, and a CLI can
163
+ change it, prune it or cease to exist. The local copy keeps the same as that
164
+ history —messages, tool inputs and results, images and each project's memory—
165
+ in a folder of yours, in files you can read without the app. **It's off by
166
+ default.** The local copy button, in the header of the projects sidebar, opens a
167
+ dialog: first **Measure** tells you how much space it would take per CLI,
168
+ without writing anything, and then **Turn on** enables it. Once on, it copies
169
+ everything the sidebar lists that isn't archived, and copies each session that
170
+ changes again a minute after it goes quiet. Archived sessions aren't copied, and
171
+ archiving doesn't delete what was already copied: the app never deletes anything
172
+ from that folder.
173
+
174
+ Whatever the CLI no longer has stays in the sidebar, marked as a copy, and opens
175
+ in Markdown; each project can be exported to Markdown. And with the copy on and
176
+ more than one CLI, the sidebar filter offers **In conversations**: it searches
177
+ the text of everything copied, from every CLI.
178
+
179
+ <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cvelasquez/agent-workbench/main/assets/captura-buscador.png" width="40%" alt="Search in conversations: a match in one session of each CLI, with its snippet">
180
+
181
+ By default it lives inside the app's configuration folder
182
+ (`%APPDATA%\agent-workbench\vault` on Windows). **Change folder…** copies all of
183
+ it to another one —a synced folder, another drive— without overwriting anything,
184
+ and the previous one stays as it was. If you put it in a synced folder or in a
185
+ repository, what it keeps travels with it.
186
+
187
+ Two one-off importers bring in history from tools the app doesn't read. They run
188
+ from source ([below](#from-source)) and **write nothing without `--write`**:
189
+ without it, they tell you what they would import.
190
+
191
+ - `pnpm vault:import gemini-cli [--cwd <folder>]` — the chats left over from
192
+ Gemini CLI; `--cwd` names the folder where you used it, to place them in their
193
+ project.
194
+ - `pnpm vault:import antigravity-ide --workspace <folder>` — whatever is
195
+ readable from the Antigravity IDE conversations in that folder: each one's
196
+ summary and its `.md` documents. The conversation content is encrypted, so it
197
+ is marked as partial history.

- ## Qué hace la aplicación con tus datos
127
-
128
- Nada sale de tu máquina. Sin telemetría, sin analítica, sin ninguna llamada de
129
- red saliente.
130
-
131
- - **Nunca toca tus credenciales.** No lee, copia ni reenvía
132
- `~/.claude/.credentials.json` ni ningún token. No hay login en la interfaz: si
133
- no iniciaste sesión, corrés `/login` dentro de la terminal y la aplicación ni
134
- se entera.
135
- - **No agrega variables de autenticación** al entorno de los procesos que lanza.
136
- El entorno se hereda tal cual. La única excepción es que **quita**
137
- `CLAUDE_CODE_CHILD_SESSION` —que apaga el guardado del historial— y te avisa
138
- con un cartel cuando lo hace.
139
- - **De `~/.claude/` solo lee `projects/`**, que es el historial de
140
- conversaciones. Lo que la aplicación guarda (pestañas abiertas, caché del
141
- índice) va a su propio directorio de configuración, nunca dentro de
142
- `~/.claude/`.
143
- - **El servidor escucha solo en `127.0.0.1`**, en un puerto efímero, con un
144
- token aleatorio por arranque que exigen el WebSocket y todas las rutas HTTP,
145
- y rechaza peticiones cuyo `Origin` no sea el propio.
146
- - **El panel de git es de solo lectura.** No hay commit, stage ni push. Con un
147
- agente editando archivos, un botón que escribe historia es exactamente lo que
148
- después nadie sabe quién disparó.

250
+ ## What the app does with your data
251
+
252
+ Nothing leaves your machine. No telemetry, no analytics, no outgoing network
253
+ calls at all. The exception is the CLI itself at work: the one you open in a
254
+ tab, and the OpenCode server described below, talk to the model provider just
255
+ as they would if you opened them by hand.
256
+
257
+ **It never touches your credentials.** There's no login in the interface: if
258
+ you aren't logged in, you log in inside the CLI's terminal and the app doesn't
259
+ even notice.
260
+
261
+ **From each CLI it reads only this, and it writes nothing in the CLI's
262
+ folder.** The local copy importers, when you run them, also read what
263
+ [their section](#local-copy-optional) says.
264
+
265
+ | CLI | Reads | Never opens |
266
+ |---|---|---|
267
+ | Claude Code | from `~/.claude/`: `projects/` (the history, and each project's memory, to import it), `sessions/` (whether the CLI is waiting for an answer) and `plans/`. And for the Plans tab, the `.md` files the conversation wrote inside the project or in that session's temp folder: **only those named by the conversation you're viewing**, without walking any folder | `.credentials.json` or any token |
268
+ | Codex | from `~/.codex/` (or `CODEX_HOME`): `sessions/` and `archived_sessions/` | `auth.json`, `config.toml` or its `*.sqlite` databases |
269
+ | OpenCode | its `opencode.db` database, opened read-only, and from it only the sessions, messages and parts tables; and its model catalog, for the context window size | `auth.json`, `opencode.json`, or the accounts, credentials, permissions and shared-sessions tables |
270
+ | Antigravity CLI | from `~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/`: each conversation's transcripts, `history.jsonl`, the last conversation of each folder, from `settings.json` only the model and the status line, and its conversation index, from a temporary **copy**; from `~/.gemini/config/projects/`, each project's folder | the MCP configuration, its entry in the system keychain, the contents of `conversations/`, or `~/.gemini/antigravity/`, which is its IDE |
271
+
272
+ Three footprints worth knowing about:
273
+
274
+ - **Reading the OpenCode database** does what SQLite does with any reader: it
275
+ creates its `-wal` and `-shm` files if they're missing and updates the
276
+ timestamp of `-shm`. It never runs an OpenCode command to read it.
277
+ - **If an Antigravity tab's own log doesn't show up**, it reads the CLI's
278
+ `log/cli-*.log` files, which contain your messages and the account's email,
279
+ only to find the conversation id, and without keeping any line.
280
+ - **With OpenCode, the app runs its local server**, `opencode serve`: just one,
281
+ from when you open the first OpenCode tab until five minutes after you close
282
+ the last one, or until you close the app. It listens on `127.0.0.1`, with an
283
+ ephemeral port and a different password on every start, even if your OpenCode
284
+ configuration says otherwise. The app only asks it for the sessions' status,
285
+ pending permissions and questions, to create a session, to answer a question
286
+ and to abort a session: nothing about your configuration or your accounts.
287
+
288
+ **It adds no authentication variables** to the environment of the CLIs it
289
+ launches. The environment is inherited as is, with two exceptions: it
290
+ **removes** `CLAUDE_CODE_CHILD_SESSION` —which turns off history saving— and
291
+ tells you with a banner when it does; and it **adds** a single variable to the
292
+ OpenCode server, `OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD`, holding that per-start password. It
293
+ isn't any account's password, and the variable doesn't reach any tab: each
294
+ OpenCode tab gets the password on its command line (`attach --password`), where
295
+ other processes running as your user can see it. It only works for that server
296
+ and stops being valid when you close the app.
297
+
298
+ **What the app writes:**
299
+
300
+ - **In its own configuration directory:** the open tabs, the index cache, the
301
+ notes, the archived sessions, the Antigravity status line script and, if you
302
+ turn it on, the local copy (or in the folder you choose).
303
+ - **In the temp folder:** the images you paste; each Antigravity tab's log,
304
+ which contains your messages, readable only by you and deleted on the first
305
+ start once it's more than 24 hours old; and the transcript of a conversation
306
+ you continue in another CLI, deleted when you close that tab or after 24
307
+ hours.
308
+ - **In your projects, one thing only, and only if you confirm:** the shared
309
+ memory. It's limited to `.agents/memory/`, to what's between its markers in
310
+ `AGENTS.md` and `CLAUDE.md`, and to a few lines at the end of `.gitignore`.
311
+
312
+ **The server listens only on `127.0.0.1`**, on an ephemeral port, with a random
313
+ per-start token that the WebSocket and every HTTP route require, and it rejects
314
+ requests whose `Origin` isn't its own.
315
+
316
+ **The git panel is read-only.** No commit, stage or push. With an agent editing
317
+ files, a button that writes history is exactly the kind of thing where, later,
318
+ nobody knows who pressed it.

- ## Si algo falla
155
-
156
- **"No se encontró el comando `claude` en el PATH"** la CLI no está instalada o
157
- no está en el `PATH` del proceso que corre `pnpm dev`. Comprobalo con
158
- `where claude` (o `which claude`).
159
-
160
- **`node-pty` no compila al instalar.** Es un módulo nativo. Normalmente baja un
161
- binario precompilado y no hace falta nada; si tu combinación de Node y
162
- plataforma no tiene uno, hay que compilarlo:
163
-
164
- - **Windows:** Visual Studio Build Tools con la carga de trabajo *Desarrollo
165
- para el escritorio con C++*, y Python 3.
166
- `npm install --global windows-build-tools` ya no se mantiene: instalá los
167
- Build Tools desde el instalador de Visual Studio.
324
+ ## Troubleshooting
325
+
326
+ **The "claude" command wasn't found in the PATH**, followed by "Also works
327
+ with: …" the app didn't find any of the four CLIs in the `PATH` of the process
328
+ running it. Check with `where claude` (or `which claude`), and the same with
329
+ `codex`, `opencode` or `agy`. CLIs are looked up at startup: if you installed
330
+ one while the app was open, restart it.
331
+
332
+ **The OpenCode history doesn't show up.** Look at the `History` line in the
333
+ startup output. If it says that Node version doesn't include `node:sqlite`,
334
+ update Node to 22.13 or later. If there's no such line, it didn't find the
335
+ database: it's at `~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db`, or wherever
336
+ `OPENCODE_DB` or `XDG_DATA_HOME` points.
337
+
338
+ **An OpenCode tab won't open and says "Couldn't start the OpenCode server".**
339
+ The tab attaches to an `opencode serve` the app launches, and the reason comes
340
+ after the colon. If it isn't clear, open `opencode` in a regular terminal: if it
341
+ doesn't start there either, the problem is with that OpenCode installation.
342
+
343
+ **An OpenCode tab says the server closed.** The `opencode serve` process ended
344
+ and the tab's terminal was left without a connection. **Relaunch**, in the same
345
+ bar, starts another server and reattaches the tab to the same session.
346
+
347
+ **An Antigravity tab doesn't show its status or the meter.** Look at the
348
+ `Status line` entry in the startup output, under the CLI: if it says it isn't
349
+ configured, or that there's another one, follow the steps
350
+ [above](#antigravity-cli-status-and-meter-optional). If you configured it and
351
+ the CLI's terminal shows `Statusline Error`, `node` is most likely not in that
352
+ session's `PATH`. Until the line publishes anything, the tab is treated as if
353
+ you hadn't configured it.
354
+
355
+ **`node-pty` doesn't compile on install.** It's a native module. It usually
356
+ downloads a prebuilt binary and nothing else is needed; if your combination of
357
+ Node and platform doesn't have one, it has to be compiled:
358
+
359
+ - **Windows:** Visual Studio Build Tools with the *Desktop development with C++*
360
+ workload, and Python 3.
361
+ `npm install --global windows-build-tools` is no longer maintained: install
362
+ the Build Tools from the Visual Studio installer.
168
363
  - **macOS:** `xcode-select --install`.
169
- - **Linux:** `build-essential` y `python3`.
364
+ - **Linux:** `build-essential` and `python3`.
170
365
 
171
- **La terminal se queda en blanco.** El renderer por defecto es canvas a
172
- propósito: con el addon WebGL la pestaña se congela en Windows 11 + Chrome
173
- aunque los datos lleguen. Si querés probarlo igual, agregá `?renderer=webgl` a
174
- la URL.
366
+ **The terminal stays blank.** The default renderer is canvas on purpose: with
367
+ the WebGL addon the tab freezes on Windows 11 + Chrome even though the data
368
+ arrives. If you want to try it anyway, add `?renderer=webgl` to the URL.
175
369
 
176
- **Un cartel dice que se quitó `CLAUDE_CODE_CHILD_SESSION`.** Pasa cuando
177
- arrancás `pnpm dev` desde adentro de una sesión de la CLI. Esa variable apaga el
178
- guardado del historial, y sin historial no hay conversación ni medidor. La
179
- aplicación la quita y te avisa. En uso normal —una terminal comúnni aparece.
370
+ **A banner says `CLAUDE_CODE_CHILD_SESSION` was removed.** It happens when you
371
+ start the app from inside a Claude Code CLI session. That variable turns off
372
+ history saving, and without history there's no conversation or meter. The app
373
+ removes it and lets you know. In normal use a regular terminal— it never shows
374
+ up.
180
375
 
181
- **El panel de cambios dice que la carpeta no es un repositorio git** y lo es.
182
- Fijate que `git` esté en el `PATH`. Si el mensaje es otro, es el error que
183
- devolvió git, tal cual.
376
+ **The Changes panel says the folder isn't a git repository** and it is one.
377
+ Make sure `git` is in the `PATH`. If the message is a different one, it's the
378
+ error git returned, verbatim.
