agent-manager

agent-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from YoanWai/agent-manager. It costs 63 tokens per session (991 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A terminal dashboard for running multiple AI coding agents in separate tmux sessions. It shows each session's current activity and keeps it available after a closed terminal or restart.

In plain words
What is it for?
Run agents on independent coding tasks, check which are working or blocked, start another session, and review an agent's code changes with line comments.
Why use it?
It removes the need to track several agents in separate terminal windows or guess which one is stuck. It also keeps their conversations available through crashes, reboots, or closed terminals.

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 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 15d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run a fleet of coding agents with agent-manager

agent-manager is a single Go binary on top of tmux. Every row in its list is a real tmux session running a real coding CLI: the developer's own installation, login, config and MCP servers. It never wraps or re-implements an agent; it reads the same pane a human would and colours the row by what that pane is doing.

When to use this

  • The developer is running more than one coding agent and cannot tell which is blocked.
  • They want to spawn an agent on an independent task without losing the one already running.
  • They want an agent's conversation to survive a crash, a reboot, or a closed terminal.
  • They want to review a diff and send line comments back into the agent's prompt.

Do not reach for it to replace a coding CLI. It starts the CLIs that are already installed.

Install

macOS and Linux, amd64 and arm64. Windows runs it inside WSL2. Needs tmux 3.1+ and git.

brew install agent-manager

Other routes: the install script, the AUR (yay -S agent-manager-bin), mise use -g ubi:YoanWai/agent-manager, go install github.com/YoanWai/agent-manager@latest, or a prebuilt binary from the releases page.

The keys that matter

Key What it does
space Opens quick prompt mode, a prompt bar docked in the footer. On a group row it spawns a new agent with that prompt; on a session row it answers the agent already running there.
tab / alt+m Cycles which CLI the next spawn starts.
shift+tab Steps the CLI back one.
ctrl+l / ctrl+x / ctrl+y Picks the spawn's model, reasoning effort and profile from the ones the CLI reports.
ctrl+t / alt+w Toggles spawning the agent into a fresh git worktree and branch.
ctrl+r Opens a full-screen whole-file diff whose line comments go back to the agent as one review prompt.
v Revives a dead session on the conversation it held.
y Copies the selected session's newest reply to the system clipboard, without attaching.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
