AI Analysis

●●●BangerNiche GemShip ItSolve My Problem

Htop for AI agents tracks tokens, tools, and sessions locally.

Strengths
  • •Parses local session files directly without needing vendor instrumentation or APIs.
  • •Correlates OS processes with agent sessions to show blocked versus active states.
  • •Supports Claude, Codex, and Gemini out of the box with token tracking.
Weaknesses
  • •Windows support missing; relies on ps and lsof which are Unix-centric.
  • •Codex session correlation is heuristic since no active-session PID index exists.

Post Description

I was looking for a small option for ckeck how many agents are running, and what where they doing. Even when I didn't launch them, for example when claude calls codex the reduce the session usage of claude.

Maybe other names could have been atop (but it exists) or yaat (yeah another agent top).
