agent-manager-skill

agent-manager-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hybridlabor-api/bdb-dev-optimized-agent-skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (659 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line management workflow for running multiple local coding agents in separate tmux sessions. It can start, stop, monitor, assign work to, and schedule these agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for teams that run several local CLI agents at once. Concrete jobs include launching agents, assigning tasks, following their output, stopping them, and scheduling recurring work.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manage every agent process manually in separate terminal windows. Shared commands and logs make parallel agent work easier to coordinate.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 agent-manager/scripts/main.py doctor.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-manager-skill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent Manager Skill

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

  • run multiple local CLI agents in parallel (separate tmux sessions)
  • start/stop agents and tail their logs
  • assign tasks to agents and monitor output
  • schedule recurring agent work (cron)

Prerequisites

Install agent-manager-skill in your workspace:

git clone https://github.com/fractalmind-ai/agent-manager-skill.git

Common commands

python3 agent-manager/scripts/main.py doctor
python3 agent-manager/scripts/main.py list
python3 agent-manager/scripts/main.py start EMP_0001
python3 agent-manager/scripts/main.py monitor EMP_0001 --follow
python3 agent-manager/scripts/main.py assign EMP_0002 <<'EOF'
Follow teams/fractalmind-ai-maintenance.md Workflow
EOF

Notes

  • Requires tmux and python3.
  • Agents are configured under an agents/ directory (see the repo for examples).

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

1. Overview

This skill provides domain-specific logic and rules for its respective BDB pipeline component to ensure standardization across multi-agent workflows.

3. Core Process

  1. Read the provided context and ensure preconditions are met.
  2. Run the required script or tool and confirm the state change.
  3. Verify exit codes, file modifications, or DB counts to guarantee success before reporting completion.

4. Common Rationalizations

Rationalization Reality
"The code change was small, so I skipped updating OpenWiki docs." Every state change must be reflected in the relevant system records.
"The ingest script exited without an error, so the memB index must be updated." Silent failures happen; explicit verification of the side effect is mandatory.
"I'll let the /startcycle proceed without a defined rollback path." Proceeding without a rollback path corrupts the workflow integrity and safety.
"I trust the cached agent registry instead of rescanning after a skill change." Caches stale out quickly; explicit rescans prevent ghost failures.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
