      <description>&lt;p&gt;We're constantly typing commands.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether it's for everyday system operations:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Opening terminals&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Switching directories&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Running Git commands&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Managing files&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Or while working with agent harnesses:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Using skills&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Running workflows&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Handling interactive sessions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If any of these problems sound familiar:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Repetitive operations quietly consume a surprising amount of time.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Workflow execution is difficult to observe.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The boundary between automation and human interaction is unclear — agents sometimes act on their own, while at other times they interrupt you too frequently.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Switching between different agents feels fragmented.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Building and customizing workflows is often complicated and difficult to put into practice.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then you might want to try &lt;strong&gt;CLILoom&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CLILoom provides:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Visual Workflows
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Visually compose commands, conditions, parallel tasks, and more into reusable workflows.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Create Workflows with Natural Language
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tell your AI CLI assistant what you want, and let it create or modify a workflow tailored to your needs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Parallel Real Terminals
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;View real-time terminal output from multiple parallel branches on the same screen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Automation + Human Collaboration
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Automatically execute commands, request user input when needed, or switch into a fully interactive terminal whenever human intervention is required.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Works with Any AI CLI
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Launch any agent harness you want by defining the command used to start it in the terminal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether you use Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Kimi, Pi, or something else, CLILoom doesn't lock you into a specific agent.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  Cross-Platform and Local-First
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CLILoom supports &lt;strong&gt;Windows, Linux, and macOS&lt;/strong&gt;, with workspace data stored locally on your machine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Development Status
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first version is now available.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CLILoom has already reached the point where I can &lt;strong&gt;develop CLILoom from inside CLILoom itself&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Windows and Linux have both been tested.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to use CLILoom with WSL, I recommend running the Linux GUI version directly inside WSL/WSLg.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don't currently have a Mac, so the macOS version has not been properly tested yet. Feedback from macOS users would be very welcome!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
