Key points

  • Agent-Manager runs multiple AI coding agents in separate tmux sessions.
  • It offers a TUI for live status, prompting, and diffing agent changes.
  • Wallfacer manages and indexes AI coding session files from various agents.
  • Wallfacer allows naming, tagging, grouping, and searching of past sessions.
  • Both tools aim to improve developer workflow with AI coding assistants.

Overview of New AI Agent Management Tools

Developers now have access to two new terminal-based utilities designed to streamline the use of AI coding agents. Agent-Manager provides a terminal user interface (TUI) for running and monitoring multiple AI coding agents concurrently, while Wallfacer focuses on organizing and managing the session files generated by these agents.

Agent-Manager: Concurrent Agent Execution

Agent-Manager allows users to run AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Grok side-by-side, each within its own tmux session. This setup ensures that agents continue to operate even after the manager is closed. The tool centralizes monitoring, displaying a live status list of all sessions, grouped into a project tree.

Users can send prompts directly to an agent's pane, spawn new agents, and revive dead sessions. Agent-Manager also includes a feature to open a full-file diff of changes made by an agent, with syntax highlighting, and allows comments on lines to be sent back to the agent.

Wallfacer: Organizing AI Coding Sessions

Wallfacer is a terminal session manager for AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Kiro CLI, and Codex. It addresses the issue of scattered and unorganized session files by indexing them. Claude Code stores conversations as JSONL files, Kiro CLI uses a flat folder, Cursor CLI buries chats in hash-named directories, and Codex files rollouts by date.

Wallfacer provides a unified interface to name, tag, group, search, resume, or delete these sessions from a full-screen browser or the command line. It operates in a read-only capacity, never modifying the agents' original files.

Installation and Compatibility

Agent-Manager can be installed via `brew install yoanwai/tap/agent-manager` (which installs tmux if missing) or `go install github.com/YoanWai/agent-manager@latest` (requiring Go 1.26+ and tmux). It is also available for download from Releases for macOS and Linux (amd64/arm64). Status detection is supported for Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and Grok Build, with configuration options for other CLI tools.

How outlets covered it

Wallfacer is a new terminal session manager designed to organize and manage coding sessions from various AI agents, including Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Kiro CLI, and Codex. It addresses the challenge of scattered and unorganized session files by providing a unified interface for searching, grouping, and resuming past interactions, improving developer workflow with AI coding tools.

Agent-Manager is a new terminal user interface (TUI) that allows developers to run and manage multiple AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Grok within individual tmux sessions. This tool centralizes the monitoring and interaction with these agents, enabling users to send prompts and review changes from a single interface.
