A lightning-fast tmux-based workspace manager for multi-repo development. Start a full dev environment in seconds.

## How is this different from Clawdbot?

**Crabcode** and **Clawdbot** are completely different tools that serve different purposes:

### Crabcode (this project)
- **What it is**: A tmux-based workspace manager for developers
- **Purpose**: Create and manage isolated development workspaces using Git worktrees
- **Use case**: Multi-repo development, parallel feature work, isolated testing environments
- **Key features**: Git worktree automation, port isolation, tmux layouts, WIP state management
- **Tech**: Bash scripts, tmux, Git worktrees
- **Who it's for**: Developers who need to work on multiple branches/features simultaneously

### Clawdbot
- **What it is**: A personal AI assistant
- **Purpose**: Interact with AI models through messaging channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, etc.)
- **Use case**: Personal assistant, automation, messaging integrations, voice interactions
- **Key features**: Multi-channel messaging, voice wake, live canvas, AI model integration (Claude, GPT)
- **Tech**: Node.js/TypeScript, WebSockets gateway, channel adapters
- **Who it's for**: Users who want a personal AI assistant accessible through their preferred messaging apps

**In short**: Crabcode helps you manage development workspaces; Clawdbot helps you interact with AI assistants. They don't overlap in functionality.
