Task Queue

Queue tasks,
dispatch to agents

Add tasks to a queue. Pick which agent runs each one. Reorder priorities on the fly. Watch them execute in parallel.

Works with Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity

Same queue, different agents. Pick the right tool for the job.

Drag to reorder, click to dispatch

Change priorities while tasks run. No restart needed.

Keyboard shortcuts for everything

New pane, dispatch, reorder, kill—never touch the mouse

One skill file,
every agent

Store skills in ~/.config/axel/skills. Axel symlinks them to each agent's expected location when you launch.

Panes, skills, grid positions—all in one YAML frontmatter

tmux or iTerm2

Sessions persist. Close your terminal, reattach later.

Inbox

Approve or deny
from one inbox

Agents request permission to edit files, run commands, make API calls. You see them all in one place. Approve, deny, or set rules to auto-approve.

Full context on each request

File path, diff preview, command args—before you approve

Auto-approve rules

Skip the inbox for read-only ops or small edits under N tokens

macOS notifications

Get pinged when an agent is blocked waiting for approval
