Agent Manager - Local Multi-Agent Parallel Management Tool

Skill Overview

Agent Manager is a tool that manages multiple local CLI agents via tmux sessions, supporting start, stop, monitoring, and task assignment, and providing cron-friendly scheduling features.

Use Cases

1. Running Multiple Local Agents Simultaneously

When you need to run multiple independent CLI agents in parallel locally, Agent Manager can create isolated runtime environments for each agent using tmux sessions, preventing interference between processes.

2. Monitoring Long-Running Agent Tasks

For agent tasks that need to run long-term, Agent Manager provides real-time log monitoring, allowing you to view any agent's output status at any time without complex log queries.

3. Scheduled Agent Tasks

Combined with cron, Agent Manager can easily perform scheduled agent tasks, supporting periodic task execution and automated workflows.

Core Features

tmux Session Management

Create a separate tmux session for each agent to achieve true process isolation and parallel execution. You can start or stop any agent at any time without affecting other running agents.

Real-Time Log Monitoring

Use the monitor command to track agent output in real time; the --follow option is supported to continuously display the latest logs. Quickly understand agent runtime status and detect issues promptly.

Task Assignment and Scheduling

Support assigning tasks to agents directly via standard input, enabling flexible task scheduling when used with cron. Agent configurations are stored in the agents/ directory for centralized management.
