# agent-ps
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
A process table for coding agent sessions, the way `ps` would look if it knew
|
|
50
|
+
what a session was.

`ps aux | grep claude` gives you PIDs. It will not tell you which one is the
|
|
61
|
+
session you are talking to, what model it is spending on, whether it has been
|
|
62
|
+
idle for three days, or which rows are background daemons that outlived the
|
|
63
|
+
terminal that started them. It also misses the other six agents entirely.
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
agent-ps lists every session with its agent, model, working directory, uptime,
|
|
66
|
+
idle time and disk footprint, then stops one process tree, every background
|
|
67
|
+
helper, or the lot.
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
One file, no dependencies, reads local files only.

## Install
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
### One command
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
```bash
|
|
76
|
+
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mkhuda/agent-ps/main/install.sh | sh
|
|
77
|
+
```
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
Takes the latest release, checks it against the checksum published beside it,
|
|
80
|
+
makes sure it runs, and puts the single file in `~/.local/bin`. Set `BIN_DIR` to
|
|
81
|
+
install elsewhere, or `AGENT_PS_REF=v0.1.0` to pin a version.
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
### With a package runner
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
```bash
|
|
86
|
+
uvx agent-ps # uv
|
|
87
|
+
pipx install agent-ps # pipx
|
|
88
|
+
pip install agent-ps # pip
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
npx @mkhuda/agent-ps # npm
|
|
91
|
+
pnpm dlx @mkhuda/agent-ps # pnpm
|
|
92
|
+
bunx @mkhuda/agent-ps # bun
|
|
93
|
+
```
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
The Python packages install the program itself. The npm one carries the same
|
|
96
|
+
executable and finds an interpreter for it, which is why it is scoped: the plain
|
|
97
|
+
name is too close to an existing package. Either way the command is `agent-ps`.
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
### Just the file
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
If you would rather not pipe a script into a shell, the executable is the whole
|
|
102
|
+
program:
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
```bash
|
|
105
|
+
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
|
|
106
|
+
curl -fsSL -o ~/.local/bin/agent-ps \
|
|
107
|
+
https://github.com/mkhuda/agent-ps/releases/latest/download/agent-ps
|
|
108
|
+
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/agent-ps
|
|
109
|
+
```
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
Every [release](https://github.com/mkhuda/agent-ps/releases) publishes a
|
|
112
|
+
`SHA256SUMS` next to it.
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
### From a clone
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
```bash
|
|
117
|
+
git clone https://github.com/mkhuda/agent-ps && cd agent-ps
|
|
118
|
+
./install.sh
|
|
119
|
+
```
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
Builds from the tree rather than downloading, so you install what you are
|
|
122
|
+
looking at.
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
### What it needs, and how to remove it
|
|
125
|
+
|
|
126
|
+
Python 3.8 or later and nothing from PyPI. Tested on 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.14.
|
|
127
|
+
macOS and Linux; Windows is out because `curses` is not in its standard library.
|
|
128
|
+
It shells out to `ps`, and on macOS to `lsof`, which is how a process is matched
|
|
129
|
+
to a session everywhere except Claude Code.
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
```bash
|
|
132
|
+
rm -f ~/.local/bin/agent-ps
|
|
133
|
+
```
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+
That is the whole uninstall. Nothing is written outside that directory, and
|
|
136
|
+
agent-ps only ever reads the agents' own files.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
## Agents
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
Each agent keeps its own colour in the table, and the same colours label the
|
|
141
|
+
legend above the keys.
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
| Agent | | Sessions in | Paired by | Tokens | Reopened with |
|
|
144
|
+
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
145
|
+
| [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) |  | JSONL | the agent itself | no | `claude --resume` |
|
|
146
|
+
| [Pi](https://pi.dev) |  | JSONL | directory | no | `pi --session` |
|
|
147
|
+
| CommandCode |  | JSONL | directory | no | `cmd --resume` |
|
|
148
|
+
| [Codex CLI](https://github.com/openai/codex) |  | JSONL | directory | no | `codex resume` |
|
|
149
|
+
| [OpenCode](https://github.com/sst/opencode) |  | SQLite | directory | yes | `opencode --session` |
|
|
150
|
+
| Hermes |  | SQLite | directory | yes | `hermes --resume` |
|
|
151
|
+
| GitHub Copilot |  | VS Code storage | no process | yes | in the editor |
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
Only Claude Code records which process is running which session, so every other
|
|
154
|
+
pairing is matched on working directory and shown as a guess. OpenCode, Hermes
|
|
155
|
+
and Copilot count tokens and cost, which the detail panel shows. Agents you have
|
|
156
|
+
not installed are skipped, not reported as missing.
|
|
157
|
+
|
|
158
|
+
Copilot is the exception to everything. It runs inside the VS Code extension
|
|
159
|
+
host, so it has no process of its own: no PID, no uptime, no CPU or memory, and
|
|
160
|
+
nothing to stop. What it does have is the credits each turn spent, which the free
|
|
161
|
+
tier meters and nothing else surfaces. A chat counts as open while its workspace
|
|
162
|
+
is open in the editor.
|
|
163
|
+
|
|
164
|
+
## Usage
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
Run without arguments for the live table:
|
|
167
|
+
|
|
168
|
+
```bash
|
|
169
|
+
agent-ps
|
|
170
|
+
```
|
|
171
|
+
|
|
172
|
+
It refreshes every two seconds and stays out of the way until you act on
|
|
173
|
+
something.
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
| Key | Action |
|
|
176
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
177
|
+
| up, down | move the selection |
|
|
178
|
+
| `j`, `K` | down and up, since `k` is taken by stop |
|
|
179
|
+
| home, end | jump to the first or last row |
|
|
180
|
+
| enter | details for a live session, or reopen an ended one |
|
|
181
|
+
| `s` | cycle the sort column |
|
|
182
|
+
| `S` | reverse the direction |
|
|
183
|
+
| `k` | stop the selected process and its children, after confirming |
|
|
184
|
+
| `b` | stop every background helper, after confirming |
|
|
185
|
+
| `y`, `n` | answer a confirmation |
|
|
186
|
+
| `e` | show or hide ended sessions |
|
|
187
|
+
| `/` | filter by session, title, agent, model, directory, or PID |
|
|
188
|
+
| esc | leave filter mode, or close the detail panel |
|
|
189
|
+
| space | pause refreshing |
|
|
190
|
+
| `r` | refresh now |
|
|
191
|
+
| `q` | quit |
|
|
192
|
+
|
|
193
|
+
Those keys live at the bottom of the screen, under a line naming every agent on
|
|
194
|
+
screen in its own colour and, on the right, what the table is sorted by:
|
|
195
|
+
|
|
196
|
+

|
|
197
|
+
|
|
198
|
+
That middle line does three jobs. It is the key to the colours in the AGENT
|
|
199
|
+
column, it says the sort order in words so the marked heading is never a guess,
|
|
200
|
+
and it is where a note appears for a few seconds after you act on something.
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
Backspacing a filter down to nothing leaves filter mode, so the key bar comes
|
|
203
|
+
back without reaching for escape.
|
|
204
|
+
|
|
205
|
+
### Sorting
|
|
206
|
+
|
|
207
|
+
`s` cycles the sort column through agent, active, disk, cpu, mem, uptime,
|
|
208
|
+
session and title. The sorted heading is marked in place, and the line above the
|
|
209
|
+
keys names it in words:
|
|
210
|
+
|
|
211
|
+
```
|
|
212
|
+
PID AGENT SESSION STATUS MODEL UPTIME ACTIVE CPU MEM DISKv

|
|
219
|
+
```
|
|
220
|
+
|
|
221
|
+
`v` means descending and `^` ascending; `S` flips it. Numbers start at the
|
|
222
|
+
largest, names start at A, and rows with nothing in that column go to the end
|
|
223
|
+
either way.
|
|
224
|
+
|
|
225
|
+
Sorting covers running and ended sessions together, since "which session is the
|
|
226
|
+
biggest" does not care whether its process is still alive. Press `e` to include
|
|
227
|
+
ended sessions, then `s` until DISK is marked.
|
|
228
|
+
|
|
229
|
+
### The detail panel
|
|
230
|
+
|
|
231
|
+
Enter on a live session opens everything known about it, including tokens and
|
|
232
|
+
cost where the agent counts them:

|

The `paired` line appears only when the pairing was inferred. The provider,
|
|
255
|
+
tokens, calls and cost lines appear only for agents that record them, and are
|
|
256
|
+
simply absent for the rest.

Enter on an ended session reopens it in a new terminal tab instead. Copilot
|
|
259
|
+
chats live in the editor, so they have no reopen command and say so.

### The advisory line
|
|
262
|
+
|
|
263
|
+
A line above the keys points out whatever is worth a look: background helpers
|
|
264
|
+
left running, sessions untouched for a day, or ended sessions you could resume.
|
|
265
|
+
It names the key that acts on it, and only ever shows one thing, since a wall of
|
|
266
|
+
warnings teaches people to ignore the line.
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
## Scripting
|
|
269
|
+
|
|
270
|
+
```bash
|
|
271
|
+
agent-ps list # print the table and exit
|
|
272
|
+
agent-ps list --all # include ended sessions
|
|
273
|
+
agent-ps list --json # machine readable, with idle seconds
|
|
274
|
+
agent-ps list --limit 100 # how many ended sessions (default 40)
|
|
275
|
+
agent-ps list --filter benchmark # same match as the / key
|
|
276
|
+
agent-ps agents # which agents were found, and where
|
|
277
|
+
agent-ps --agent codex list # one agent, or a comma separated list
|
|
278
|
+
agent-ps stop 32244 # stop one process tree
|
|
279
|
+
agent-ps stop 32244 --dry-run # show what would be stopped
|
|
280
|
+
agent-ps stop-background # stop daemons, warm spares, and servers
|
|
281
|
+
agent-ps stop-background --dry-run
|
|
282
|
+
agent-ps resume <session> # a unique id prefix is enough
|
|
283
|
+
agent-ps resume <session> --print # print the command instead of running it
|
|
284
|
+
agent-ps --version
|
|
285
|
+
```
|
|
286
|
+
|
|
287
|
+
Piping works without a subcommand: with stdout not a terminal, agent-ps prints
|
|
288
|
+
the table and exits.
|
|
289
|
+
|
|
290
|
+
## What each column means
|
|
291
|
+
|
|
292
|
+
| Column | Meaning |
|
|
293
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
294
|
+
| PID | the process, or a dash where there is none |
|
|
295
|
+
| AGENT | which agent, and what sort of process when it is not a plain session |
|
|
296
|
+
| SESSION | the directory the session was started in |
|
|
297
|
+
| STATUS | `busy`, `idle`, `ended`, or a dash when nothing says |
|
|
298
|
+
| MODEL | what answered the last turn, or the launcher's routing alias |
|
|
299
|
+
| UPTIME | how long the process has been alive, from one `ps` call |
|
|
300
|
+
| ACTIVE | how long since the session last wrote a turn |
|
|
301
|
+
| CPU, MEM | the same `ps` call |
|
|
302
|
+
| DISK | everything that session left on disk |
|
|
303
|
+
| DIR | the working directory |
|
|
304
|
+
| TITLE | the session title, or its opening prompt where the agent keeps none |
|
|
305
|
+
|
|
306
|
+
UPTIME and ACTIVE often disagree, and that is the point. A process can be five
|
|
307
|
+
days old and have answered a minute ago. UPTIME comes from the process table,
|
|
308
|
+
ACTIVE from the modification time of the log, which is appended on every turn,
|
|
309
|
+
so an ended session shows a dash under UPTIME and only ACTIVE says how stale it
|
|
310
|
+
is.
|
|
311
|
+
|
|
312
|
+
Each agent gets its own colour in the AGENT column, assigned in registry order,
|
|
313
|
+
and the same colours appear in the legend, which makes that line the key to the
|
|
314
|
+
palette. A selected row keeps its own highlight rather than being broken up, so
|
|
315
|
+
the cursor stays unmistakable. Terminals without colour fall back to plain text.
|
|
316
|
+
|
|
317
|
+
## A PID marked with a question mark
|
|
318
|
+
|
|
319
|
+
Only Claude Code records which process is running which session, in
|
|
320
|
+
`<config dir>/sessions/<pid>.json`. For every other agent the two have to be
|
|
321
|
+
matched on working directory, and that cannot tell apart two sessions of the same
|
|
322
|
+
agent started in the same folder.
|
|
323
|
+
|
|
324
|
+
So an inferred pairing is shown as one:
|
|
325
|
+
|
|
326
|
+
```
|
|
327
|
+
32244 claude form-guardian idle opus-5 ...
|
|
328
|
+
9666? codex agent-ps idle gpt-5.6-luna ...
|
|
329
|
+
```
|
|
330
|
+
|
|
331
|
+
`9666?` means the process is certain and the session beside it is a guess. The
|
|
332
|
+
guess is the most recently active session in that directory, and where several
|
|
333
|
+
processes of one agent share a directory they are paired newest with newest, so
|
|
334
|
+
the process that started four minutes ago gets the session that has been active
|
|
335
|
+
for four minutes rather than the one from an hour ago.
|
|
336
|
+
|
|
337
|
+
It is still a guess, so the stop confirmation names the directory and says when
|
|
338
|
+
the pairing was inferred:
|
|
339
|
+
|
|
340
|
+
```
|
|
341
|
+
Stop 1 process(es) in ~/projects/agent-ps, session matched by directory?
|
|
342
|
+
```
|
|
343
|
+
|
|
344
|
+
Where no session matches at all, the row still appears with whatever the process
|
|
345
|
+
itself can answer. Nothing is invented to fill the gap.
|
|
346
|
+
|
|
347
|
+
## How it works
|
|
348
|
+
|
|
349
|
+
The parts that are not obvious have their own page:
|
|
350
|
+
[where each agent keeps its sessions](docs/internals.md), how busy and idle are
|
|
351
|
+
decided per agent, which processes count as background helpers, how a shim is
|
|
352
|
+
told apart from a real session, and what the DISK column is adding up.
|
|
353
|
+
|
|
354
|
+
## Stopping behaviour
|
|
355
|
+
|
|
356
|
+
Processes are stopped depth first, children before parents, so a supervisor does
|
|
357
|
+
not restart a worker you just killed. Each process gets `SIGTERM`, one second to
|
|
358
|
+
exit, then `SIGKILL` if it is still there.
|
|
359
|
+
|
|
360
|
+
agent-ps never lists or stops itself, or the shell that launched it, so running
|
|
361
|
+
it from inside an agent session is safe.
|
|
362
|
+
|
|
363
|
+
Exit status is zero when everything asked for was stopped, and one when something
|
|
364
|
+
survived, which makes it usable in scripts.
|
|
365
|
+
|
|
366
|
+
## When something is missing
|
|
367
|
+
|
|
368
|
+
| Symptom | Cause |
|
|
369
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
370
|
+
| An agent you use is not listed | agent-ps only looks in the roots above. `agent-ps agents` prints what it found. |
|
|
371
|
+
| SESSION and MODEL are dashes on macOS | pairing needs `lsof` to read a process working directory. Linux reads `/proc`. |
|
|
372
|
+
| A row paired to the wrong session | see the question mark section above |
|
|
373
|
+
| No colour | the terminal reported none, so every row falls back to plain text |
|
|
374
|
+
| A Copilot chat has no PID | it never had one. Copilot runs inside VS Code. |
|
|
375
|
+
|
|
376
|
+
## Build
|
|
377
|
+
|
|
378
|
+
The executable is a zipapp, built from the package by the standard library:
|
|
379
|
+
|
|
380
|
+
```bash
|
|
381
|
+
./build.sh
|
|
382
|
+
```
|
|
383
|
+
|
|
384
|
+
That writes a single `agent-ps` file with no dependencies, which is what the curl
|
|
385
|
+
install fetches. The build is reproducible: the same source always produces the
|
|
386
|
+
same bytes, so the committed executable can be checked against the tree.
|
|
387
|
+
|
|
388
|
+
```
|
|
389
|
+
5045dee9f7c0a85a193886e0b5fcf37020a4c36f10537f36fa453d1020aff365 agent-ps
|
|
390
|
+
```
|
|
391
|
+
|
|
392
|
+
Adding an agent takes one class and one line in the registry. See
