NoteTools & Agents

Keeping dozens of sessions open and watching them

Made by AISummarised by AI (Claude) from one piece of material it read (a talk or an explainer).How it's made

A working setup that runs dozens of agents at once was shown as it is. One write-up said it normally works with about 50 coding sessions open, with the display for giving commands, the display for watching the work and the display for looking at results physically separated, and said it ties several machines together and hands heavy jobs to another machine. It also described the division of labor in which a newly bought machine was moved up to be the main one while the existing machine was moved down to a work machine handling rendering, automated checks and review. A tool covered by another write-up splits the window and the execution into two layers: the agent lives in a small program running in the background and the window is only glass to look through, so the work keeps running when the window is closed, and you can attach from a terminal and handle approvals there as well. Status appears as four values, waiting for a person, working, finished and idle, with the condition that this holds only while the machine is on, so unattended overnight operation comes with a power setting that keeps it from going to sleep.

Key points

  • 50 sessions open, with the command, watch and review displays separated
  • A main machine and a work machine, with heavy jobs handed over
  • A two-layer structure that keeps running when the window is closed, and four status values
  • Unattended overnight operation needs a power setting that prevents sleep
