README excerpt

More of the actual upstream surface so you can skim here before deciding to open the repo.

Upstream skim

Process manager for AI agents (and humans).

gob (pronounced job, of course) is a CLI for managing background processes with a shared interface for you and your AI coding agent.

Start a dev server with Claude Code, check its logs yourself. Or vice-versa. The agent can monitor what you started. Everyone has the same view.

Skim bullets

  • Interactive TUI - Full-screen terminal interface with real-time job status
  • Real-time log streaming - Follow stdout/stderr from CLI, TUI, or AI agents without copying output
  • AI agent friendly - Shared view of all processes for you and your coding agent
  • Real-time sync - Changes from CLI instantly appear in TUI, and vice-versa
  • Per-directory jobs - Jobs are scoped to directories, keeping projects organized
  • Process lifecycle control - Start, stop, restart, send signals to any job
  • Port monitoring - Inspect listening ports across a job's entire process tree
  • Reliable shutdowns - Stop, restart, and shutdown verify every child process in the tree is gone
