Show HN: Yaw – A terminal built around the Claude Code/Codex CLI workflow

I use Claude Code and Codex constantly, and my workflow was always the same: launch the agent, need a shell in the same directory, open a new tab, cd back. Fifty times a day.

So I built auto-snap into Yaw — launch any AI coding CLI and it detects it and splits the pane automatically. Agent on the left, fresh shell in the same directory on the right. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Vibe CLI. You can install any of them through a built-in wizard.

Yaw is also a full terminal (tabs, split panes, broadcast, search, session restore, WebGL via xterm.js) with a built-in connection manager for SSH, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, and Redis — encrypted credentials, Tailscale auto-detection, remote Screen session management. And a chat panel that sends terminal output as context to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Ollama, and six other providers.

Electron + xterm.js + React. v0.9.75, Windows and macOS.

Curious what other people's AI coding CLI setups look like — what's working, what's missing?
