## Project history and usage

pixtuoid is a terminal-native pixel-art dashboard that turns activity from AI coding-agent sessions into animated coworkers in a virtual office. It is a Rust project with a TUI, a floating desktop view, and integrations for agent CLIs including Claude Code and Codex.

### Project history

The official GitHub repository was created in May 2026, and the first tagged release, v0.1.0, followed on May 24. The project quickly expanded from its terminal visualization into a multi-crate engine supporting terminal, desktop-window, and browser renderers.

### Adoption history

By July 2026 the project had published twenty GitHub releases and documented support for thirteen coding-agent CLIs across macOS, Linux, and experimental Windows builds. Distribution spans Homebrew, npm, crates.io, prebuilt archives, and Debian packages.

### How it is used

Users launch `pixtuoid`, open the Sources panel, and connect supported agent CLIs. Hook events and session transcripts then drive live sprites, status indicators, token meters, and a tree dashboard while remaining local to the machine.

### Why package nerds care

The package is notable as a terminal-first observability layer for the emerging multi-agent coding workflow. Its separate `pixtuoid-hook` shim, XDG-aware TOML configuration, multiple installation channels, and shared renderer across TUI, native window, and WebAssembly make it an unusually polished young CLI package.

### Related projects

- The project integrates with Claude Code, Codex CLI, opencode, Cursor CLI, Copilot CLI, and other coding agents; its README also credits pixel-agents and clawd-on-desk as inspirations.
