I was frustrated with the Claude Code scrollback bug, the one that often has your whole chat history keep rewinding, flashing and scrolling from the beginning, often multiple times per second, spanning sometimes over a minute or longer, so I build bukowski, a soft terminal wrapper that acts like a pager interface to Claude Code, Codex and Gemini.
After the logic of capturing and double buffering the CC's output resulted in a decrease of flicker of about 97.5%, I created a FIPA ACL messaging MCP bridge for all three CLI tools and wrapped it in an IRC-like chat interface. Now all three tools can communicate with each other and this works surprisingly well if you give them roles or parts of tasks.
It's all local to the terminal interface, no remote servers, no API keys, just one wrapper for local terminal multiplexing and inter agent communication.
