Agent Ops Center — control
Agent Ops Center is a live dashboard that visualizes this session's Claude Code agents and sub-agents as animated avatar tiles. A small local bridge server holds the agent registry and serves the dashboard at http://localhost:3131/. Claude Code hooks push real tool activity to it automatically, so normally it "just works" once the plugin is installed — this skill is for manual control.
The bridge + dashboard live under the plugin root (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} in hook/MCP contexts). When running commands from this skill, use the plugin's bridge/ and dashboard/ folders.
Open / start the dashboard
Run the launcher. It starts the bridge if it isn't already running and opens the dashboard once:
node "<plugin-root>/bridge/launch.js"
If the browser tab doesn't open, navigate to http://localhost:3131/ manually.
Check status
A quick request to the state endpoint tells you if the bridge is up and how many agents are tracked:
- PowerShell:
Invoke-RestMethod http://localhost:3131/api/state
- curl:
curl -s http://localhost:3131/api/state
Reset the tiles
Clears all agents back to just the root Orchestrator:
- PowerShell:
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post http://localhost:3131/api/reset
- curl:
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3131/api/reset
Stop the bridge
Stop the Node process serving port 3131:
- PowerShell:
Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 3131 | Select-Object -Expand OwningProcess | ForEach-Object { Stop-Process -Id $_ -Force }
- macOS/Linux:
lsof -ti:3131 | xargs kill
Drive it from a one-off Claude run (no hooks)
You can also pipe a headless run straight into the bridge:
claude -p "task" --output-format stream-json --verbose | node "<plugin-root>/bridge/server.js" --stdin
Notes
- Default port is
3131; override with the AOC_PORT environment variable (and update the hook URLs in hooks/hooks.json to match).
- Avatar style (pixel art / abstract / GIF) and grid layout (Solo / Squad / War Room / Broadcast / Mosaic) are selectable from the dashboard top bar.
- To use your own GIF avatars, drop files in
dashboard/assets/avatars/ and list them in dashboard/assets/avatars/manifest.json.
