Show HN: Aq – an attention queue TUI for Claude Code

A team released Aq, an open-source terminal user interface (TUI) for managing multiple parallel Claude Code sessions, posted as a Show HN on Hacker News. Aq uses Claude Code hooks to push sessions awaiting user input into an attention queue rather than requiring the programmer to cycle between sessions, and adds tuicr-inspired code review with inline comments sent back to agents, a quiz mode for verifying understanding of agent design choices, and vim-style keyboard navigation on tmux sessions. The tool is aimed at making the programmer's attention the managed bottleneck when reviewing changes and design decisions from several agents at once.

Hi, here's a TUI we originally created for internal use. The goal is to be able to control multiple Claude Code sessions running in parallel while being able to review the changes and to understand the design choices the agents make. The key design principles are: - the programmer's attention is the bottleneck, so instead of cycling between sessions to find what's waiting for user input we use hooks to push work to the attention queue, i.e. let work come to you, not viceversa - easy change, review and comment loop: tuicr https://tuicr.dev/ https://tuicr.dev/ }-inspired code reviews. Easy to add comments and send them to agents - unobtrusive tooling: run on tmux sessions, connect to claude code via hooks, no complex dependencies - quiz mode: answer design questions about the code to verify and reinforce your understanding of the changes - keyboard-first navigation with vim keybindings Comments, ideas and PRs all welcome Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50452257 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50452257 Points: 1 Comments: 0
