Getting Started

Use this section when you are installing Maxx, building it from source, or trying the first agent-tab workflow.

Install and build

Download a release, build locally, run tests, and launch a dev build.

First agent tab

Start Claude Code or Codex in Maxx and use visible tabs for delegated work.

What Maxx Adds

Maxx is an unofficial Ghostty fork that keeps the terminal core lightweight and adds a visible control layer for coding-agent workflows: sidebar sessions, agent status indicators, and optional tab-control skills.

For general terminal behavior and configuration inherited from Ghostty, use upstream Ghostty documentation. For Maxx-specific agent workflows, use the docs in this repository.
