OpenRig is a CLI tool that snapshots and restores tmux-based AI agent topologies, preserving multi-agent workflows across reboots.

How do I install OpenRig?

Grab it from GitHub, install via pip or brew—pairs with tmux. `pip install openrig`, then `rig init`.

Does OpenRig work with Cursor or Claude?

Yep—model-agnostic. Feed it your tmux agent sessions; resumes any LLM setup.
