Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

Setting up a multi-agent workflow from scratch every time is tedious — you have to remember which agents to assign, what roles they should play, and what files to include. Channel Templates give you 10 ready-made workflows across Review, Build, Test, and Ops categories. Each template pre-assigns at least two agents with distinct roles — a reviewer and a fixer, a planner and a builder, a tester and an analyst. Search and select files directly in the template fields, edit the prompt before sending, and hit Create & Send. What used to take 5 minutes of setup now takes 10 seconds.

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Switch between multiple apps
# Copy-paste data between windows
# Lose context every time you switch
# Repeat dozens of times per day

Why It Matters

The productivity impact of having terminal & ai agents built into your workspace

Zero Context Switching

All your AI agents and terminals live in one window. No more alt-tabbing between 5 different terminal apps.

Visual Status Tracking

Color-coded tabs and the Kanban dashboard tell you which agents are done, running, or need attention — at a glance.

Persistent Sessions

Tmux-backed persistence means your terminal state survives crashes and restarts. Never lose scrollback history again.

Flexible Arrangements

One-click layouts adapt to your task: grid for monitoring, columns for comparing, fullscreen for deep focus.
