# Agent Manager TUI

> **Status: DEPRECATED (unmaintained)**
>
> This module is deprecated and no longer offered for new installs — it does not appear in the installer's module list and is not bundled in any preset. It remains in the repository for existing users who already have it installed. Development is paused in favor of a GUI-based replacement. The instructions below are retained for reference; no further updates are planned.

A terminal UI for managing Claude Code agent processes across multi-clone repos. Built with Go and Bubble Tea.

## What It Does

The agent manager gives you a live view of all running Claude Code agents: their status, resource usage, log output, and session info. From a single pane you can launch new agents, stop or restart hanging ones, tail their logs, and export session data.

```
┌─ Agents ─────────────────────────────────────────┐ ┌─ Detail ──────────────────────┐

## Installation

> This module is deprecated and is not offered in the installer's module list, so there is no installer-driven setup path. The CCGM installer also has **no post-install hook mechanism** — the `postInstall.sh` script in this directory is never run automatically. Install the binary manually using either the script or the steps below.

### Binary install via script

Run the bundled script directly. It downloads the correct platform binary, verifies its checksum, and installs it to `~/.ccgm/bin/`:

```bash
bash modules/agent-manager/postInstall.sh
```

### Manual Installation

1. Download the binary from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/lucasmccomb/ccgm/releases/latest):

```bash
# macOS Apple Silicon
curl -fsSL https://github.com/lucasmccomb/ccgm/releases/latest/download/ccgm-agents_darwin_arm64.tar.gz | tar -xz
# macOS Intel
curl -fsSL https://github.com/lucasmccomb/ccgm/releases/latest/download/ccgm-agents_darwin_amd64.tar.gz | tar -xz
# Linux amd64
curl -fsSL https://github.com/lucasmccomb/ccgm/releases/latest/download/ccgm-agents_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar -xz
```

2. Move the binary to `~/.ccgm/bin/`:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.ccgm/bin
mv ccgm-agents ~/.ccgm/bin/
chmod +x ~/.ccgm/bin/ccgm-agents
```

3. Add `~/.ccgm/bin` to your PATH (if not already present):

```bash
echo 'export PATH="${HOME}/.ccgm/bin:${PATH}"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
```

4. Copy the slash command to your Claude commands directory:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands
cp modules/agent-manager/commands/agents.md ~/.claude/commands/agents.md
```

## Usage

Launch the TUI:

```bash
ccgm-agents
```

Or from within a Claude Code session:

```
/agents
```

## Keybindings

| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `j` / `↓` | Move down |
| `k` / `↑` | Move up |
| `enter` | Select / open detail panel |
| `/` | Filter agents by name or status |
| `esc` | Back / close detail panel |
| `n` | Launch new agent in current repo |
| `s` | Stop agent (graceful SIGTERM) |
| `r` | Restart agent |
| `x` | Kill agent (force SIGKILL) |
| `tab` | Switch between panels |
| `e` | Export agent logs to file |
| `pgup` / `pgdn` | Scroll log viewer |
| `?` | Toggle help overlay |
| `q` / `ctrl+c` | Quit |

## Configuration

The agent manager reads `~/.ccgm/agent-manager/config.json`. If the file does not exist, defaults are used and the file is created on first run.

```json
{
  "data_dir": "~/.ccgm/agent-manager",
  "health_check_interval": "2s",
  "hanging_timeout": "60s",
  "log_max_size": 52428800,
  "log_retention_days": 7
}
```

| Field | Default | Description |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| `data_dir` | `~/.ccgm/agent-manager` | Directory for agent state and logs |
| `health_check_interval` | `2s` | How often to poll agent status |
| `hanging_timeout` | `60s` | Time before an agent is marked as hanging |
| `log_max_size` | `52428800` (50 MB) | Maximum log file size before rotation |
| `log_retention_days` | `7` | Days to retain rotated logs |

## Agent Lifecycle

The agent manager tracks these states:

- **running** - Agent process is active and responding
- **stopped** - Agent exited cleanly (zero exit code)
- **hanging** - Agent has not produced output for longer than `hanging_timeout`
- **failed** - Agent exited with a non-zero exit code

From the TUI, use `s` to stop, `r` to restart, or `x` to force-kill any agent.

## Session Management

Agent sessions are persisted to `~/.ccgm/agent-manager/sessions/`. Each session records:

- Start and end time
- Working directory and clone identity
- Issue number (if claimed)
- Exit code and final status
- Log file path

Use `e` to export the current agent's log to a timestamped file.

## Building from Source

Requirements: Go 1.21+

```bash
cd modules/agent-manager/src
go build -o ccgm-agents ./cmd/ccgm-agents
# Or use make:
make build
# Cross-compile for all platforms:
make build-all
# Install to ~/.ccgm/bin/:
make install
```

## Dependencies

This module requires the **multi-agent** module (for multi-clone directory conventions). It is listed as a dependency and the installer enforces this.

## Platform Support

| Platform | Supported |
|----------|-----------|
| macOS (Apple Silicon) | Yes |
| macOS (Intel) | Yes |
| Linux amd64 | Yes |
| Linux arm64 | No |
| Windows | No |

# /agents - Agent Manager

Launch the CCGM Agent Manager TUI to monitor and control Claude Code agent processes across multi-clone repos.

## Usage

```
$ARGUMENTS
```

## Instructions

Run the agent manager binary:

```bash
~/.ccgm/bin/ccgm-agents
```

If the binary is not found at `~/.ccgm/bin/ccgm-agents`, inform the user that the binary has not been installed. The CCGM installer does not install it automatically — they need to run `postInstall.sh` from `modules/agent-manager/` manually (or follow the manual steps in the module's README).

## Keybindings Reference

| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `j` / `↓` | Move down |
| `k` / `↑` | Move up |
| `enter` | Select / open detail |
| `/` | Filter agents |
| `esc` | Back / close |
| `n` | Launch new agent |
| `s` | Stop agent |
| `r` | Restart agent |
| `x` | Kill agent (force) |
| `tab` | Switch panel |
| `e` | Export logs |
| `pgup` / `pgdn` | Scroll log viewer |
| `?` | Toggle help |
| `q` / `ctrl+c` | Quit |

## Configuration

The agent manager reads its configuration from `~/.ccgm/agent-manager/config.json`. If this file does not exist, sensible defaults are used:

- **Data directory**: `~/.ccgm/agent-manager/`
- **Health check interval**: 2 seconds
- **Hanging timeout**: 60 seconds
- **Log max size**: 50 MB
- **Log retention**: 7 days
