Launching a coding agent is straightforward. Launching several is too. The real problem starts when you have to track their tasks, find their context again, and verify their results without getting lost across terminals.

Paneflow starts from that problem: multiple agents need a workspace designed to keep them legible.

## A task is more than a terminal [#a-task-is-more-than-a-terminal]

A task can involve an agent, a git branch, a dev server, tests, a diff, and several sessions. When those pieces are scattered, you have to reconstruct their context every time you switch windows.

Paneflow groups them into [a single workspace](/blog/introducing-paneflow) and restores that environment when you come back. You are not just finding an open terminal. You are finding the task exactly as you left it.

## Agents can help each other without taking control [#agents-can-help-each-other-without-taking-control]

Paneflow's [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server exposes three read-only tools, `list_panes`, `read_pane`, and `search_pane`, so one agent can read another pane's output. It can check a test result, look up an error, or consult another agent's work without you having to copy-paste anything across.

That bridge is read-only by design. Agents share context, but they cannot type commands into each other's terminals. You stay in control of decisions and actions.

## A local tool you can understand [#a-local-tool-you-can-understand]

Paneflow runs locally, with no account and no telemetry. The source code is available under the [GPL-3.0-or-later](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html) license.

The reasoning is simple: the workspace that runs your agents and holds the context for your work should be fast, transparent, and yours.
