Agent Manager

Simple, installation-agnostic AI agent lifecycle management using tmux + Python. Manage multiple AI agents without running a server, wiring HTTP APIs, or pulling in heavy dependencies.

When to use this skill

• Starting/stopping/monitoring AI agents in tmux sessions
• Scheduling agent tasks via cron (daily standups, code reviews, nightly tests)
• Sending heartbeat check-ins to running agents
• Assigning tasks to agents from files or stdin
• Managing agents defined in agents/EMP_*.md YAML frontmatter files
