Agent Manager

GitHub 2 months ago 57

Agent Manager is a tmux-based terminal UI that runs multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, Gemini CLI) simultaneously in separate sessions, displaying their status in a unified project tree where users can send prompts and review file changes without switching between tabs. The tool supports live status detection for supported agents, keeps sessions persistent after the manager closes, and includes features like syntax-highlighted diff review with inline comments that feed back to agents as review prompts. Users can now manage multiple coding agents in a single interface with keyboard shortcuts for spawning, killing, reviving sessions, and reviewing code changes instead of manually tracking each agent's progress across separate terminal windows.

The Economic Benefit of Refactoring

martinfowler.com 2 months ago 12

A developer built a 150,000-line codebase entirely with AI agents, then systematically refactored a 17,155-line data access layer file to measure token cost savings. By splitting the file into 19 smaller files through planned refactoring steps, input tokens required for the same representative task dropped from 159,564 to 27,360—an 83% reduction. The experiment demonstrates that refactoring AI-generated codebases can substantially reduce token consumption for future changes, though the developer could not measure the upfront refactoring cost and notes AI agents require explicit human direction to apply refactorings effectively.
