Zellij Backend

How It Works

  1. Creates a git worktree in ~/.clauderon/worktrees/<session-name>/
  2. Creates a new Zellij session
  3. Starts the chosen agent with your prompt

Creating Sessions

Zellij is the default backend:

Terminal window
clauderon create --repo ~/project --prompt "Explore the codebase"
# Explicitly
clauderon create --backend zellij --repo ~/project --prompt "Task"

Attaching to Sessions

Terminal window
clauderon attach <session-name>
# Or directly via Zellij
zellij attach clauderon-<session-name>

Key Bindings

  • Ctrl+p - Zellij mode selection
  • Ctrl+p then d - Detach
  • Ctrl+p then q - Quit
