I gave my AI coding agents a face so they stop waiting on me
Description and use
<p>You know the feeling. You give Claude Code a task, switch to another window, and come back twenty minutes later. It has done nothing for nineteen of them, because it stopped at a permission prompt one minute in.</p> <p>Running several sessions makes this worse. One is working, one has finished, and one has been asking "Allow <code>npm install</code>?" for the last quarter of an hour.</p> <p>So I built <strong>Agent Needs You</strong>: a small screen on my desk with a pair of eyes that tells me how my agents are doing.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2
