imbue-mngr-notifications 0.1.5

Notification plugin for mngr - alerts when agents transition to WAITING state

mngr-notifications

Desktop notifications when agents need your attention.

A plugin for mngr that adds the mngr notify command. It monitors the event stream from mngr observe and sends a native desktop notification whenever an agent transitions from RUNNING to WAITING.

Requirements

• macOS: brew install vjeantet/tap/alerter
• Linux: notify-send (usually part of libnotify)

Usage

mngr notify

When an agent finishes working and waits for input, you get a notification. On macOS, clicking the notification opens a terminal tab connected to that agent.

If mngr observe is not already running, mngr notify starts it automatically in the background and stops it on exit.

Configuration

Add to your mngr settings file (e.g. ~/.mngr/settings.toml):

[plugins.notifications]
terminal_app = "iTerm"

Supported terminal apps: iTerm, Terminal, WezTerm, Kitty. For iTerm, clicking a notification finds an existing tab already connected to the agent (by matching tmux session TTYs) or opens a new one.

For other terminals, use a custom command:

[plugins.notifications]
custom_terminal_command = "my-terminal -e mngr connect $MNGR_AGENT_NAME"

$MNGR_AGENT_NAME is set in the environment to the agent's name.

For plain notifications without click-to-connect (useful on Linux where notify-send does not support click actions):

[plugins.notifications]
notification_only = true
