abtop

htop-style monitor for AI coding agent sessions

TLDR

Monitor agent sessions
$ abtop
Install via cargo or install script
$ cargo install abtop

SYNOPSIS

abtop [*options*]

DESCRIPTION

abtop watches local AI coding agent processes (e.g. Claude Code, Codex CLI): sessions, token/context usage, rate limits, and related ports—in a live TUI similar in spirit to htop. Useful when juggling multiple agent terminals.

PARAMETERS

Interactive TUI after launch. Optional flags select refresh intervals and filters—abtop --help.

INSTALL

yay -S abtop
nix profile install nixpkgs#abtop

CAVEATS

Depends on how agents expose metrics; not all tools report tokens the same way. Process introspection may need permissions on locked-down systems.
