Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when managing parallel work from supported coding-agent CLIs and you want persistent tmux sessions, a shared status view and an integrated diff-review workflow.

Who it is for

  • Developers coordinating multiple coding-agent CLI sessions.
  • Developers who want to inspect and comment on agent changes from a terminal interface.

Documented uses

  • Monitor the live status of agent sessions in one list.
  • Send prompts to a session or start an agent in a selected group.
  • Organize sessions by project and use worktrees for parallel tasks.
  • Review agent changes in a full-file diff and send line comments back as a review prompt.
  • Open a shell under an agent or group for builds, Git and one-off commands.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The README documents macOS and Linux support, plus Windows through WSL2. Homebrew installation installs tmux if it is missing. Agent Manager launches the user’s installed coding-agent tools; their own login, subscription and configuration carry over.

  • Requires tmux; the documented Homebrew installation installs it when missing.
  • The agent CLI must be installed separately and must be among the supported tools.
  • The tool is a coordination layer over installed CLIs, carrying over their own login, subscription, configuration and MCP servers.
  • The README says cost tracking is not available.
  • Hermes Agent, Antigravity CLI and Oh My Pi have no fork support.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install agent-manager with Homebrew

Install agent-manager on macOS or Linux using Homebrew.

Before you start

  • macOS or Linux
  • Homebrew

Steps

  1. Run brew install agent-manager.

  2. Allow Homebrew to install tmux if it is missing.

Expected outcome

agent-manager is installed; Homebrew also installs tmux if needed.

Guide limitations

  • The documented Homebrew installation applies to macOS and Linux; Windows use is documented only inside WSL2.
  • The README describes Homebrew as running on Git, so both dependencies are covered by this installation route.

Start agent-manager and review a session's changes

Open the terminal interface and use its session diff-review view.

Before you start

  • agent-manager installed
  • A coding-agent session with changes to review

Steps

  1. Run agent-manager in a terminal.

  2. Select a session and press Ctrl+R to open its diff review.

  3. Use the review panel to inspect the session's changes.

Expected outcome

The session's diff review opens in the terminal interface.

Guide limitations

  • The source describes opening a session's diff review but does not specify a complete process for creating or populating a session.
  • Changes must already exist for there to be a diff to review.
