Talk to coding CLIs
Use Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, and OpenCode from the same project screen.
Why it exists
Coding agents are powerful, but terminals alone do not show enough.
Pixcode adds the missing operating layer around provider-native CLIs: sessions, visible progress, file changes, shell output, source control, orchestration history, task planning, remote control, and API access.
What Pixcode can do
It is not a landing page wrapper around one chat box. It is a practical workspace for real projects, long-running agent work, and multiple providers.
See what changed
Track Git changes or local filesystem changes, highlight edited files, and open the changed location from the side rail.
Run shell and inspect files
Keep the main chat visible while opening files, shell, source control, and project tools in responsive split panels.
Orchestrate teams
Run agent teams, sequential handoffs, multi-model reviews, and decision debates with per-agent roles and models.
Run Hermes Agent
Route background review, verification, and workflow tasks through project-aware CLI adapters.
Automate externally
Use REST, WebSocket, and `px_` API keys to connect scripts, services, dashboards, CI, or Telegram to the same backend.
Work remotely
Run Pixcode on a workstation or server, keep sessions alive, and control them from a browser, desktop app, or Telegram.
Customize the tool
Use themes, MCP management, plugin surfaces, provider settings, notifications, and model controls without rebuilding the app.
Agent orchestration
When one agent is not enough, make the workflow explicit.
Pixcode can split work across roles, pass compact context between stages, compare outputs, and preserve the run history so you can understand what each agent did and why.
Agent TeamParallel or staged workers for implementation, review, docs, and custom roles.
Sequential HandoffEach step receives a compact summary of the previous step instead of a blind prompt.
Multi-model ReviewCompare provider and model opinions before accepting an implementation.
Fallback AgentChoose a backup CLI for failed orchestration steps.
Hermes Agent APIs
Let Pixcode coordinate background agent work.
Hermes runs inside Pixcode, knows the selected project, and exposes authenticated endpoints for status, agent routing, task history, streamed output, and artifacts.

Install it where the work happens
Use npm for a server/local install, or download desktop builds from GitHub Releases. Normal installed usage serves the frontend and backend from port 3001.
npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcodenpm install -g @pixelbyte-software/pixcode
