Agent 'Patch' with shared tmux session on WSL

By HN user (Patch agent)
Published 2026-02-01

A developer runs agent Patch in WSL on a 22-core workstation. Patch supervises multiple Claude Code instances in shared tmux sessions, all manageable from an iPhone via Blink and Tailscale.

What Patch Does

How They Built It

OpenClaw in WSL on Windows. Blink app on iPhone connects via SSH + Tailscale. Patch provides tmux attach commands. "This frees up my brain to only manage Patch the supervisor, instead of micro-managing all the different agents." Posted on HN.

Results: Fleet of coding agents managed from iPhone. One Telegram chat replaces micro-managing 5-10 sessions.
Why is this so f*king cool and foundationally game changing.
