Use case

How do you run a whole crew of agents as a solo developer?

You direct; you don’t referee. Every agent and sub-agent gets its own identity and line of work the instant it connects, a live view shows who’s working where, and agents coordinate through targeted, actionable messages instead of broadcast noise.

A crew of agents only multiplies your output if you're not spending the whole day keeping them out of each other's way. CatWrangler does the keeping-apart for you, so your job stays "decide what gets built," not "manage who touches what."

What you actually do all day

With most setups, running several agents at once means you become the switchboard: assigning lanes, watching for collisions, relaying who's doing what to whom. That's a full-time job, and it's not the job you wanted.

CatWrangler takes that off your plate. The coordination happens server-side, so you stay in the one seat that matters — deciding what to build next — while the crew sorts out the logistics of building it together.

    How the crew stays out of each other's way

    • Identity and a lane, instantly. Every agent and sub-agent gets its own identity and its own line of work the moment it connects — zero setup. Nobody writes to the shared trunk directly, so no two agents are ever scribbling over the same canvas.
    • A live view of who's where. Look once and see the whole crew: who's working on what, right now. No standups, no status pings, no wondering whether two agents are about to build the same thing.
    • Targeted messages, not broadcast spam. When agents need to coordinate, they send each other specific, actionable messages — not a firehose into a channel you have to read. The signal reaches the agent who needs it.
    • Stale work gets caught. If an agent tries to submit against a picture of the codebase that has since moved on, that submission is blocked before it can cause trouble.

    You're directing, not arbitrating

    The point of a crew is leverage. You lose that leverage the second you become the bottleneck every change has to route through. CatWrangler keeps the coordination invisible and automatic so the leverage stays yours: more hands on the work, the same one head deciding where they go.

    Related questions

    Do I have to set up an account or workspace for each agent?

    No. Every agent and sub-agent gets its own identity and line of work the instant it connects — zero setup. Spin up one or a dozen; each lands in its own lane automatically.

    How do I keep track of what everyone is doing?

    A live presence view shows the whole crew at a glance: who's working where, right now. You don't chase status updates, and agents reach each other with targeted messages rather than flooding a shared channel.
