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

说明与用途

使用物理 Stream Deck 仪表盘，可即时查看 AI 编码代理的状态并聚焦其窗口，消除窗口切换的麻烦。

问题

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

结果

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.

工作流

• 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

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
