Show HN: Rex-teams – harness agnostic subagents and alarms for Rex terminal

An unofficial community skill called Rex Teams lets a parent AI agent spawn subagents running Claude Code 2.1, Codex CLI 0.166, Pi 1.5, OpenCode 2.2 or other agent CLIs in background tabs inside Superlogical's Rex terminal, receive their reports and close completed tabs. The skill, installed via `npx skills add campfireshuffle/rex-teams`, adds messaging to long-running teammate agents and one-time or recurring alarms, and is built on Rex's existing tabs, `rex send` and `rex capture` commands; it was tested with Rex 0.1.0 (beta). Its author states it is not affiliated with Superlogical and lists known limits: messages can mix into a draft being typed in a pane, a subagent that crashes before reporting wakes nobody, and alarms stop if the Rex server restarts.

Run subagents inside Superlogical's Rex terminal, across agent harnesses. Rex Teams lets a parent agent spawn Claude Code, Codex, Pi, OpenCode, or other agent CLIs in background tabs, receive their reports, and close completed tabs.

The skill also lets agents message long-running teammates and set one-time or recurring alarms.

This is an unofficial community skill. It isn't made by or affiliated with Superlogical, so please report bugs here, not to Rex.

Tip

I expect Rex to do this better itself one day. When it does, delete the skill.

Rex already gives agents everything this skill needs: tabs, rex send, and rex capture. rex-teams just adds the habits on top. It sets out how a subagent reports back, and it starts every message with the command for replying. A message is typed into the other agent's terminal, which starts its next turn, so nobody polls.

Ask your agent:

Have Codex review this diff and Pi check the docs, then merge their findings.

Open agents in labeled tabs or panes, then talk to one:

Hi Chief, ask Marketer to create a launch video for my product.

Check in on the Marketer agent in 20 minutes.

Every 10 minutes, check CI on my PR and stop once it's green.

  • If you're typing in a pane when a message lands, the message mixes into your draft.
  • A subagent that crashes before reporting wakes nobody.
  • Alarms stop if the Rex server restarts.
  • Tested with Rex 0.1.0 (beta), Claude Code 2.1, Codex CLI 0.166, Pi 1.5 and OpenCode 2.2.
