AI Terminal Deck
Install and reliably detect Codex CLI, Claude Code, and Kimi Code in one setup phase, then open an automatic one-to-three-pane Windows Terminal workspace.
The problem it solves
AI Terminal Deck AI Terminal Deck detects Codex CLI, Claude Code, and Kimi Code, offers consent-based guided installation for anything missing, and opens the available tools together in one maximized Windows Terminal window. It is a single, reviewable batch file for people who want independent access to multiple AI coding agents without installing another dashboard or orchestration service.
Who AI Terminal Deck is for
- Developers and maintainers who need reviewable evidence before changing or releasing software.
- Users working with AI coding, guided setup, terminal who want the documented v1.0.4 behavior.
- People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.
Intended result
Install and reliably detect Codex CLI, Claude Code, and Kimi Code in one setup phase, then open an automatic one-to-three-pane Windows Terminal workspace.
This summary is reconciled from the current catalog and repository documentation.

Verified examples
Screenshots are shown only when the current README references a local source image. Otherwise, repository example files are linked directly.
Verified release evidence
This project does not currently publish a screenshot or dedicated example folder. The current README, tests, changelog, tagged release, and source repository remain the verified examples of its behavior.
Platforms and implementation
The public release claims only the cataloged platforms and technologies.
Supported platforms
- Windows
Built with
- Batch
- PowerShell
- Windows Terminal
Quick start
The shortest documented path into the current release.
Open the current release, follow the repository README for AI Terminal Deck, and use only the documented inputs and commands for v1.0.4.
Current limitations
These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
- Windows only; the launcher depends on
wt.exeand Windows batch scripting. - It arranges one to three independent interfaces. It does not coordinate agents or merge their answers.
- It can launch official installers only after individual confirmation. It does not silently install, update, uninstall, or authenticate any AI tool.
- It does not install Git for Windows, which Kimi Code expects for normal use.
- It does not manage subscriptions, usage limits, model selection, or login sessions.
- If an AI process exits, its pane remains at PowerShell so an error message can still be read.
- Very narrow displays may be more comfortable with one or two panes or separate tabs.
Privacy and licensing
Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.
Privacy and safety
- The launcher contains no analytics, telemetry, API keys, or credential storage.
- Network access occurs only after explicit consent to run one of the displayed official installers.
- Authentication is handled independently by each installed AI CLI.
- The launcher checks every supported command, offers guided setup for missing ones, refreshes its process
PATH, and checks again before opening Windows Terminal. - An invalid working directory stops with an explanation instead of silently falling back elsewhere.
- Startup and dependency errors remain visible until you press a key, including when the launcher is opened by double-click.
- AI Terminal Deck does not relay prompts, responses, credentials, or files between agents.
All three agents receive the same starting directory. They can safely discuss or inspect that directory independently, but simultaneous edits to one Git checkout can conflict. Use separate Git worktrees or give write access to only one agent at a time.
