A browser-native console for running and watching fleets of coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, opencode, Aider and friends — side by side in one window. This guide walks every screen.
Getting started
Menagerie is a browser tab that runs and watches fleets of coding agents. First run walks you in.
Pick a workspace
First run asks for a folder to own your relays and trajectories — nothing leaves your machine. Skip for an in-memory session.
The first-run tour
A six-step spotlight walkthrough greets new users — relays, connect, spawn, the fleet board, theme, help. Replayable any time from Help.
Help & about
What Menagerie is and how to install a relay, one click behind the ? button — including the ‘Take the quick tour’ replay.
Connect & spawn
A relay is a small server you run once per machine; it runs the agents you spawn from here.
Connect a relay
Settings lists the localhost relay as a self-advancing checklist: start it, paste the token, connected. Add remote relays by URL too.
Spawn an agent
Describe a task, pick an agent and model (or a custom command). ACP-capable agents default to a structured session; Git-backed work gets its own branch and worktree.
Watch your fleet
The Kanban-free board keeps every agent legible — status derived from live session, PR, and CI facts.
Your fleet, at a glance
Every agent is a live tile — working, needs-you, rate-limited, or idle. PTY terminals and structured streams sit side by side on one board.
Dark theme
The whole console in the Rangrez ‘Kutch Bhunga’ dark palette. The topbar toggle switches light / dark live and remembers your choice.
Drill into an agent
One task, one agent, one isolated workspace — with the full transcript, diffs, and instruments attached.
Drill into an agent
Open a tile for the full session: the instrument bar (model · context gauge · thinking · tokens), transcript, tool calls, and diff review — approve or reject each hunk.
The raw event log
Press d to reveal exactly what crossed the wire — the JSONL of every frame. When the render layer doesn’t understand a frame, you still can.
Drill-in, dark
The per-agent instrument panel and diff review in dark theme — the same structured surface, different glass.
