    Hi HN,

    I've been running a lot of coding agents (claude code, codex, ...) sessions recently (typically 100+ per project), across multiple repos, worktrees, and branches.

    At some point, keeping track of the agents became a problem of its own. I kept forgetting which agent was working on which branch/worktree, which sessions were waiting for me, and which changes I still needed to review among the many chats I have open.

    This drives me to built repobs https://github.com/Chengxuan-Li/repobs to solve this. It's a local dashboard that:

    - Can view repo, branches, worktrees, and commits in a tree/timeline view (like the traditional git branch graph)

    - Tracks coding agent sessions associated with each branch and worktree, with their status (working, needs input, etc.)

    - Tracks agent planned items and progress (number of tasks completed out of total number of tasks)

    - Allows user to annotate agent states, to-do checklist, notes for each agent

    - Will support some automation (WIP)

    This tool only needs read-only access to agent sessions and git. Everything the user views and edits is local.

    I'm particularly interested in how others manage parallel coding agents, and the challenges encountered in managing them.

    Also, what information/features would you want in a dashboard like this? Right now I'm adding some new features so that agents in non-git folders can also be tracked as such.
