File-Based Multi-Agent Live Status UI
Visualize multi-agent progress in real time using shared status files instead of fragile cross-session inspection.
Overview
Many orchestration setups struggle to monitor child agents when direct session visibility is restricted. This approach treats status files as the source of truth and renders a live UI from those artifacts. It provides clear run-state visibility without requiring privileged access to every agent session.
How It Works
Each working agent writes structured JSON updates to a shared status directory during execution. A lightweight frontend reads those files, renders timeline and state transitions, and highlights blocked-to-recovered flows for operators. Preflight checks verify expected files exist before launch to prevent blank dashboards.
Tools Used
Outcome
The organization gains a resilient monitoring layer for multi-agent projects with fewer false alarms. Operators can diagnose progress and stalls from one screen even when session APIs are limited. The pattern improves trust in autonomous runs by making status transparent and auditable.
