Claude Code is the best coding agent on the market, but there is a catch: you have to keep your terminal open. This is why we built Terragon: use Claude Code as a background agent.

Here is how it works: - OAuth with GitHub ✓ - Connect your Claude Code subscription ✓ Your Claude Max subscription just became a coding workforce. Spin up multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel, each with their own sandbox.

The workflow is simple: 1. Assign a task to Terragon 2. Go about your day 3. Get a PR when it's done Then: merge it, pull it locally, or ask Terragon to iterate. Familiar with Open AI Codex / Devin? You'll feel right at home.

This has actually changed how I work. I now wake up every morning and just dictate my todo list from my bed. By the time I get to my desk I've already gotten a head start on my day.

, @_ymichael, and I have been working on this for the past month and have already merged ~500 PRs while using it. Now we are looking to onboard some early testers. If you are interested, sign up here:

I've been loving the (very basic) claude code github action to trigger background jobs via issues! This looks better but could you articulate the biggest things it does better?

the main thing is the workflow itself, you get a dashboard of tasks that are in flight and can monitor their progress. i also like the claude code action but only really for following up on prs. having to use github issues to create new ones always feels pretty clunky to me. so the big thing is the codex style workflow

Why is this better than having the terminal open. Serious question (although it might sound like a hater) I’ wondering what’s wrong with keeping the Terminal open

I also always have my terminal open, the big lift is that you get an isolated sandbox for each one and can start a thread from anywhere mobile and then take it down and finish it up locally.

export ENABLE_BACKGROUND_TASKS=1 in your .zshrc and all of a sudden ClaudeC can do background tasks
