Summary

Agent Manager allows users to manage multiple AI coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Grok, from a single terminal interface using tmux. It displays live statuses, organizes sessions into a project tree, and enables interaction with agents without needing to attach to their sessions.

Key Takeaways

The agent-manager allows users to run multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok) simultaneously in separate tmux sessions, maintaining their state after quitting the manager.
Users can manage sessions through a unified interface that displays live status, allows for easy reordering, and supports quick prompts without needing to attach to each session.
The installation of agent-manager can be done via Homebrew, curl script, or Go, and it requires tmux version 3.0 or higher.
The tool includes features for session revival, full-file diffs, and commenting directly to agents, enhancing collaborative coding workflows.

Positives

Agent-specific multiplexers like herdr make it a breeze to keep track of agent statuses, saving time and effort when managing multiple tasks.
The automatic session management features in tools like herdr eliminate the hassle of setting up tmux, which can be a real pain for some users.
Users appreciate the glanceable agent status in herdr's sidebar, making it easy to monitor progress without cycling through multiple tmux panes.

Concerns

Many feel that these new tools don't offer enough over traditional multiplexers like tmux, leading to skepticism about their real added value.
Herdr is seen as lacking in features compared to tmux, which disappoints power users who rely on its advanced capabilities.
Some commenters question the necessity of managing multiple agents, suggesting that it might be more about maximizing token use rather than enhancing productivity.
