CLI Manager
Let one AI agent open and drive your other CLI agents
About CLI Manager
CLI Manager is an innovative open-source tool designed for developers and power users who work extensively with command-line interfaces. It introduces an AI Control API that allows AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, or custom scripts to open, manage, and interact with multiple CLI sessions seamlessly. Users can send prompts, observe terminal outputs in real-time, and orchestrate complex workflows with ease, all within a unified interface. Its unique feature set includes visual indicators for active sessions driven by AI, a crown icon for orchestrators, and the ability to reclaim control from AI agents at any point. Being macOS-specific and operating locally through REST and MCP on localhost ensures privacy and security, making it ideal for development environments that demand control and flexibility. The inclusion of multiple AI integrations from launch, along with its open-source MIT license, makes CLI Manager a compelling tool for developers looking to automate and streamline terminal workflows with AI assistance.
