Agents That Need You
A "N need you" chip beside Activity counts the agents actually waiting on you, in every layout, and clicking it jumps to the first one. It renders nothing at zero, so it stays a signal rather than decoration.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Running six agents means six panes that all look busy, and the one blocked on a permission prompt looks exactly like the five that are working. You find it by clicking through all of them, usually several minutes after it stopped. The chip answers the question without the walk: it counts a terminal when a prompt could not be confirmed as submitted, or when its run has finished and you have not looked at that terminal yet. Clicking focuses the first one — and in Mosaic it also raises the right tile, activating its tab and dropping a magnify that was hiding it. The facts behind it are per-terminal rather than per-layout, so a grid of six agents gets it exactly as a tiled window does.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Nothing to switch on
The chip sits beside Activity in every layout — the facts behind it are per-terminal rather than per-layout, so a grid of six agents gets it exactly as a tiled window does.
Read the count
It counts an agent when a prompt could not be confirmed as submitted, or when its run has finished and you have not looked at that terminal yet. Nothing else inflates the number.
Jump to the first one
Clicking makes that terminal active. In Mosaic it also raises the right tile — activating its tab and dropping a magnify that was hiding it — so the agent is actually on screen.
Watch it disappear
At zero it renders nothing at all. A chip that is always present stops being a signal, so an empty toolbar slot is the whole point.
