 "title": "Run several agents and act only when one needs you",
 "page_title": "How to run several agents and act only when one needs you with Acryl",
 "summary": "Use the attention queue to see the moment an agent needs input across parallel sessions.",
 "who": "A developer running multiple agents on separate tasks who keeps checking terminals to see which agent is waiting.",
 "problem": "Parallel agent sessions each wait silently for input, so you lose time checking every terminal.",
 "outcome": "An attention queue tells you when an agent needs you, so you can answer that session and leave the others running.",
 "steps": [
  "Install ACRYL from the Desktop release table or with `curl -fsSL https://acryl.dev/install | bash`.",
  "Open a project and launch two or more agents from the built-in roster.",
  "Set up the Claude Code hooks, which the README says ship today, so the attention queue receives agent prompts.",
  "Leave the agents running and watch the attention queue for the session that needs you.",
  "Open that session tile on the canvas, respond, and return to the queue."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the acryl repo at github.com/acryldev/acryl, launch two Claude Code sessions in the project at <project-path> inside ACRYL. Report which session the attention queue flagged first and verify that the queue updates when one session asks for input.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README states the attention queue currently works with Claude Code hooks only, so other agents may not raise alerts yet.",

 "tags": [

 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "macOS, Windows, or Linux machine",
  "Installed coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI, if you want to launch it from ACRYL",
  "Node.js ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0 and Corepack, only for running from source"
