magent

I got tired of multiplexing 10 kitty tabs each running a Claude Code session, round-robining through that shitty Ink-based TUI to figure out which agent needs me. A magit-style porcelain with single-key bindings makes me feel more like a CEO and less like a terminal babysitter.

what

Auto-discovers your Claude Code sessions from ~/.claude/projects/. Groups by repo. Branch color = state. TAB to fold. RET to open the Claude Code session. i to send a prompt without leaving the dashboard. c to tell the agent to commit. That's it.

install

(use-package magent
  :load-path "~/magent"
  :commands (magent)
  :hook (after-init . magent))

Requires magit-section. Works with Evil.

keys

RET   open agent (via claude-code.el)
i     send input
c     tell agent to commit
P     tell agent to open PR
r     resume (work or repo)
d     diff unstaged
=     diff since agent started
w     new worktree + agent
N     new work (existing dir)
D     archive (offers worktree cleanup)
!     shell command in worktree
b     browse backlog org files
?     help

magent-org-dispatch from an org TODO creates a worktree and launches an agent with the heading as the prompt.

how it works

Scans ~/.claude/projects/ for Claude Code session JSONL files. Reads first 8K + last 32K (not the whole file). Extracts session ID, branch, last prompt, last output. Sends prompts to idle sessions via claude -p --resume <id>. Auto-archives branches merged into main.

Three states: working (green), idle (grey), done (purple).

No daemon. No database. Persistence is just overrides (start-commit, done state) on top of discovery.
