Getting Started

Run Locally

Use Zig 0.16 on Windows. For offline local development without the optional account service, set $env:MULTIPROMPT_NO_LOGIN="1" before launching. Configure remote host slots using the SSH aliases documented in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Build the stable binary:

zig build
.\zig-out\bin\multiprompt.exe

Build the DEV binary:

zig build dev
.\zig-out\bin\multiprompt-dev.exe

Stable and DEV use separate session files so experiments can be tested without damaging the normal workspace.

First Workflow

1. Start multiprompt.
2. Use Ctrl+Shift+1 for a local CMD tab or Ctrl+Shift+3 for a remote tmux tab.
3. Use Ctrl+K to switch sessions, open workspace actions, or run Multibot commands.
4. Use Ctrl+Shift+O to open or reconnect the browser pane for the current shell.
5. Use multiprompt-browser navigate "https://example.com" to drive the docked browser pane (zsb remains a compatibility alias).

Files Multibot Uses

Multibot deliberately continues storing runtime state under the legacy %APPDATA%\ZigShell path so the rename preserves every existing session and browser binding.

File	Purpose
session.json	Stable default workspace sessions
session-dev.json	DEV sessions
session-{id}.json	Named workspace sessions
windows.json	Stable workspace registry
windows-dev.json	DEV workspace registry
inbox-*.json	Live cross-window inbox snapshots
panewin-*.txt	Browser pane binding for multiprompt-browser
browserwin-*.txt	Edge window id binding
