skill
cate
An infinite zoomable canvas for coding. Editor, terminal, and browser panels in a spatial workspace.
Set up
Skills are installed by placing their folder where your agent loads skills.
The download comes from github.com/0-AI-UG/cate itself, not from our server, so what you get is exactly what its author published.
Install instructions come from the README
README
synced Oct 14, 2026Run Claude Code, Codex, or any agent CLI in a Cate terminal and the canvas becomes mission control: every terminal shows whether its agent is working, finished, or waiting on you, and Cate notifies you the moment one needs input. One click spins up a git worktree with its own colored territory on the canvas, so five agents on five branches stay five visibly separate workstreams instead of a pile of tabs.
Open a folder and it becomes a workspace. No config files.

What's inside
- Agent-aware terminals. Supported agent CLIs report turn start, turn end, and permission prompts, so each panel shows running / waiting / finished and pings you when it needs an answer.
- Agent sessions survive restarts. Reopen the project and terminals come back with their scrollback, each agent reattached with its own resume command.
- Worktrees for parallel branches. Type what you're working on and Cate creates the worktree and branch, off a local branch, a remote branch, or an open PR.
- Panels on a canvas or in a dock. Terminals, Monaco editors, browsers, PDF/image/DOCX viewers, nested canvases. Float, dock into tabs and splits, or detach into their own window. Layout persists per project.
- Git and search. Multi-repo source control, git badges in the file tree, side-by-side diffs, ripgrep search, and
Cmd+Kfor commands, panels, and files. - A CLI agents can call. In a Cate terminal,
catedrives a browser panel, reads another terminal, opens files, manages panels. - Local and remote are the same path. Every workspace runs in its own runtime, on your machine or another one: terminals, git, search, and agents run there, and work keeps running when you close the window. Pair another device with a QR code or pairing code, on the same network or through Cate Connect, and it joins the same live workspace over an end-to-end encrypted connection.
Press Cmd+K for everything else. Shortcuts are rebindable in Settings.
