claude --worktree is great for isolating a single session, but you're still juggling terminal tabs manually — starting each one, switching between them to check progress, reviewing diffs by hand.

ChatML is basically the management layer on top of that. You get a dashboard where you can run 3-5 agents at once, each in its own worktree, and see what they're all doing without tab-switching. It also handles the worktree lifecycle for you (creation, branching, cleanup), has a built-in diff viewer with code review, tracks cost per session, and lets you open PRs directly.

Closest analogy: running containers manually vs. having Compose manage them. Same underlying primitive, but the orchestration matters once you're doing it regularly.

That's awesome. Let me know if you have any questions setting it up.

Yes. Each session get it's up to 5 Terminal sessions. So if I want to test a particular session I was just spinning servers for that session. I had to prepare the code in development to attempt to use multiple ports in case we had another session running.... But I had no problems.... I am writing a feature that you can configure init and tear tasks, so you can do things like "npm install", "docker-compose up", etc.... I had it working, but needed more test, so I commented out from the initial release. I will be adding that shortly after some more testing.
