How it works

  1. Press the Agents section's name and choose Add existing agent, then pick one. Its tab is added stopped.
  2. Press ⌘⏎, or Start on its page, and the agent starts in the workspace's folder. ⌘⇧⏎ stops it.
  3. Origami comes with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Antigravity, Grok and Pi built in. Each starts the agent's own command line tool, so it needs to be installed.
  4. For an agent of your own, choose Create custom agent in the same menu and give it a name and the command that starts it.

Good to know

  • Each row shows its agent's mark. A custom agent that starts Claude Code or another known agent gets that agent's mark too.
  • The mark also says what the agent is doing: see Agent status.
  • Settings › Agents lists every agent. Built-in ones can be turned off but not removed; built-ins also have Options for what they are told as they start. See Agent options.
