Every ait TUI that launches a new code agent window also creates a minimonitor split next to it:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.aitasks.io/docs/tuis/board/"><code>ait board</code></a> — when you pick a task and launch its agent (action menu or agent command screen).</li> <li><a href="https://www.aitasks.io/docs/tuis/codebrowser/"><code>ait codebrowser</code></a> — when you launch an agent from a code file or the history screen.</li> <li><a href="https://www.aitasks.io/docs/tuis/monitor/"><code>ait monitor</code></a> — when you press <strong>n</strong> on an agent card to pick its next ready sibling task, which creates a new agent window.</li> <li>The TUI switcher&rsquo;s explore launch — when it creates an agent window for an explore target.</li> </ul> <p>In every case the flow is the same: the launching TUI creates a new tmux window named <code>agent-...</code>, then the auto-spawn helper creates a horizontal right-split inside that window and runs <code>ait minimonitor</code> in it. The helper skips the split if the window name does not start with the configured agent prefix (default <code>agent-</code>) or if a monitor/minimonitor is already running in the window.</p>
