What

Teammates appear as split panes in iTerm2 on macOS, providing visual separation for each agent.

Usage
# Setup is prompted automatically when spawning teammates in iTerm2
# Requires it2 CLI tool installation via pip/pipx/uv
pip install it2
Details
  • Automatic detection of iTerm2 environment
  • Guided setup flow to install it2 CLI tool
  • Split panes created for each teammate with color-coded borders
  • Falls back to tmux if iTerm2 setup is not completed
  • Option to prefer tmux over iTerm2 with --teammate-mode tmux
Evidence

ITermBackend class with methods createTeammatePaneInSwarmView, isAvailable, contains "[ITermBackend] Creating pane", "iTerm2 Split Pane Setup", "✓ iTerm2 split pane support is ready"

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
