How to run an agent team on a long task while you step away with Sprawling Agents

Start a local city, give the Mayor a goal, and let residents work until it is done.

Credentials. Provider keys you paste go into the city vault, but you should still check which account and limits each key carries before leaving runs unattended.

Who it is forA developer with a multi-step coding or research task who wants agents to keep working after they stop watching the screen.

The problemSingle agent sessions stall at quota limits and need constant attention, so long tasks wait on you.

The outcomeA running city where the Mayor plans the work, residents carry it out, and you check results when you return.

What you need first

  • Node.js and npm for the npm install route, or Bun, or the Rust toolchain for cargo install
  • A model provider account you can connect, or a local model
  • A browser to use the page the city opens
  • Alpha software: data formats and the interface may change between versions

Steps

  1. Install the package with npm install --global sprawling@latest.
  2. Start the city with sprawling up ./cities/first and let the page open in your browser.
  3. On the page, connect a provider or a local model and choose a model for main.
  4. Tell the Mayor the result you want and how far counts as done.
  5. Follow progress and answer residents' questions; type /quit to close the city when no runs remain, or stop them when asked.

Prompt for your agent

In the 2youg1/sprawling-agents repo, install sprawling with npm and run `sprawling up ./cities/first` in a terminal. Report the serving address and pairing code the terminal prints, and confirm the address loads in a browser before you stop.

Caveat. sprawling is labelled alpha and its README says data formats, the wire and the interface may still change between versions.
