A Zellij layout configuration for an AI-powered coding environment with Claude, cursor-agent, and ccusage monitoring.

• Zellij terminal multiplexer
• Claude CLI tool
• OpenAI Codex CLI tool
• cursor-agent
• lazygit
• bunx (for ccusage blocks)

If you use nvim in this layout, consider installing LazyVim for an excellent out-of-the-box coding experience (LSP, formatting, treesitter, file explorer).

Quick install:

# Backup any existing Neovim config first
mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.bak 2>/dev/null || true

# Install LazyVim starter
git clone https://github.com/LazyVim/starter ~/.config/nvim
rm -rf ~/.config/nvim/.git

# First launch will install plugins
nvim

Run the setup script:

./setup.sh

This will:

1. Copy the ai-coding.kdl layout to ~/.config/zellij/layouts/
2. Add the ai-cli alias to your shell configuration (.zshrc and .bashrc)

1. Copy the layout file:

mkdir -p ~/.config/zellij/layouts
cp ai-coding.kdl ~/.config/zellij/layouts/

2. Add alias to your shell configuration (.zshrc or .bashrc):

alias ai-cli='zellij --layout ai-coding'

3. Reload your shell:

source ~/.zshrc

Simply run:

ai-cli

This will launch Zellij with the AI coding layout.

The layout includes several tabs:

• Left pane (60%): Claude - Full height for AI coding assistance
• Right panes (40%):
  • Codex - OpenAI Codex for code generation
  • lazygit - Git interface for version control

• Left pane (50%): Claude
• Right pane (50%): cursor-agent

• Left pane (50%): cursor-agent
• Right pane (50%): lazygit

• Full pane: ccusage blocks (live monitoring)

• Full pane: Regular terminal

You can modify the ai-coding.kdl file to customize:

• Pane sizes
• Commands to run in each pane
• Tab names and order
• Additional tabs or panes

If the ai-cli command is not found:

1. Make sure you've reloaded your shell configuration: source ~/.zshrc
2. Check that the alias was added correctly: grep "ai-cli" ~/.zshrc
3. Ensure Zellij is installed: which zellij
