Illustrated example workflow. In a Slate terminal, the user asks Claude Code for an agents sidebar, then a deploys panel, then a latency chart, one request at a time. In time-lapse, the agent writes each plugin and opens it as a panel. At real speed, one agent finishes its work; the user opens its card in the sidebar, reviews the changes and merges them. The deploys panel follows the rollout to live, and the latency chart marks the deploy. The user saves the layout from the command picker as a Spotlight launcher with a name and an icon, then reopens it from the Dock. Three proposed workspaces follow, each opened from the Dock or Spotlight on its own Space: a review desk, a reading room and an experiment workbench.
An illustrated workflow. The tools shown are examples you could build.
A floating pill at the bottom right shows who is working in a pane and why.

Build panels with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Add commands and services as you need them.
Your agent can do anything you can. The slate-term CLI lets it write plugins, split panes and save layouts.
