agent-manager

What it does

The agent-manager skill provides a system for managing the lifecycle of employee agents. It allows users to start and stop agent processes, monitor their status, and assign specific tasks to individual Development (Dev) or Quality Assurance (QA) agents. This is particularly useful when these agents are running within tmux sessions, enabling centralized control over their operation.

When to use it

• Automated Agent Startup: Automatically launch Dev/QA agents at the beginning of a workday or shift.
• Task Assignment: Assign specific testing tasks or development builds to particular agents for focused execution.
• Real-time Monitoring: Check the status and resource utilization of running agents to identify potential bottlenecks.
• Controlled Shutdowns: Gracefully stop agents when they are no longer needed, releasing resources and preventing data corruption.

Key capabilities

• Starting agent processes
• Stopping agent processes
• Monitoring agent status
• Assigning tasks to Dev/QA agents
• Integration with tmux sessions

Example prompts

• "Start the QA_Agent_01 process."
• "Monitor the resource usage of Dev_Agent_3."
• "Assign task 'Regression Test Suite' to Agent 2."

Tips & gotchas

The agent-manager skill requires familiarity with tmux and agent naming conventions within your environment. Ensure that agents are properly configured before attempting to manage them through this skill, as incorrect configurations can lead to errors or unexpected behavior.
