Rostr

Rostr assigns unique names and emojis from custom rosters to coding agent sessions for easy tracking.

Rostr gives every coding agent session a unique name and emoji drawn from a selected team roster. It operates through a small CLI, hooks, and an agent skill to track active sessions across local machines and cloud environments. Users can select pre-built rosters or assemble custom lists to manage multiple agents simultaneously. The tool integrates with Claude Code, Codex, herdr, and tmux. Metadata for tasks and repositories remains end-to-end encrypted when using cloud mode.
