I gave my coding agents a physical dashboard — a week with AgentStreamDeck

Описание и применение

Физический дашборд Stream Deck позволяет быстро видеть статус и фокусироваться на сессиях AI‑кодировщиков, устраняя необходимость переключения окон.

Задача

Managing multiple AI coding agents simultaneously became a token‑cost issue and a focus‑management headache, as alt‑tabbing and window switching were inefficient.

Результат

Using AgentStreamDeck with a Stream Deck Mini/MK.2 provides a clear, real‑time visual status of each AI coding agent and allows instant focus, eliminating the need for alt‑tabbing and reducing context switching overhead.

Рабочий процесс

• Install AgentStreamDeck via pip: pip install agentstreamdeck
• Install the OpenCode plugin globally: ocdeck install
• For each project, install the harness for the desired agent: ocdeck harness-install <agent>
• Connect the Stream Deck Mini/MK.2 to the computer
• Configure keys for each agent session via the AgentStreamDeck UI or config
• Use the physical keys to monitor status and focus sessions

Доказательства

The ring is the feature. I stopped checking windows. The status colors are honest per-harness

Tabs lie to window focus. Two sessions in one Windows Terminal window made focus ambiguous. One session per window and it stopped misfiring

6 keys is tight. On the Mini, the Jelly companion mascot mostly had no room once three sessions were live. The 15-key MK.2 is the sweet spot
