What problem does it solve?
Houmao's managed-agent lifecycle management is hard to operate correctly by hand, and this skill provides a single canonical way to launch, join, list, stop, relaunch, and clean up live agent instances via houmao-mgr.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Launch managed-agent instances from roles, presets, raw profiles, or specialists using Houmao-supported lifecycle lanes.
- Adopt running provider sessions through join so an existing supported provider process becomes controlled by Houmao.
- Lifecycle operations with safety guardrails including listing current instances, stopping, relaunching tmux-backed surfaces, and cleaning stopped-session artifacts (session envelopes and/or logs).
- Use cases: starting a team from predefined specialists, resuming a long-running agent workflow via relaunch, or removing stopped-session leftovers after iterations.
Quick Start
Use the houmao-agent-instance skill to stop a live managed agent named "demo-writer" in this workspace.
