# AI Agent Manager v0.1.0 (Beta)

**Terminal UI for managing AI agents, resources, and MCP servers across multiple AI tools.**

## 🎯 What It Does

AI Agent Manager helps you manage AI agents (Amazon Q CLI, Claude, etc.) with a visual terminal interface:
- 📚 **Library Management**: Organize knowledge files (templates, rules, docs)
- 🤖 **Agent Configuration**: Create and edit AI agents visually
- 🔌 **MCP Server Management**: Add and configure Model Context Protocol servers
- 🎨 **Dual-Pane Editor**: Select resources and MCP servers with checkboxes
- 🔄 **Auto-Export**: Agents automatically export to Q CLI directory

## ✨ Key Features

### 🖥️ **TUI (Terminal User Interface)**
- **Dual-Pane Editor**: Resources on left, agent config on right
- **Multi-Select**: Use Space to select multiple files/servers
- **Keyboard Navigation**: Arrow keys + shortcuts (no mouse needed)
- **Live Preview**: See current agent configuration while editing
- **Auto-Export**: Changes sync to Q CLI automatically

### 📚 **Library System**
- **Base Library**: Shared templates and rules (5 default templates included)
- **Personal Library**: Your custom files
- **Clone & Edit**: Copy base files to personal for customization
- **Visual Separation**: Clear distinction between base and personal files

### 🔌 **MCP Server Management**
- **Paste Configs**: Copy JSON from internet, paste directly
- **Flexible Parsing**: Handles multiple JSON formats
- **Edit Configs**: Modify server settings in your editor
- **Registry**: Browse and add servers from MCP registry

# Add project-specific files to agents
ai-config files add-files my-agent --pattern "./docs/**/*.md"
ai-config files add-files my-agent --pattern "./rules/*.txt"

# Enable file watching for auto-updates
ai-config files watch-files my-agent --enable

# Scan for files without adding
ai-config files scan-files my-agent --pattern "**/*.py" --base-path ./src
```

### MCP Server Management
```bash
# Create sample registry for testing
ai-config mcp create-sample

# Browse servers by category

# Search for specific functionality
ai-config mcp search database
ai-config mcp search "file system"

# Install servers for enhanced capabilities
ai-config mcp install git
ai-config mcp install filesystem
```

### Template Usage
Templates are stored in `library/templates/` and can be:
- Used during agent creation via wizards
- Customized in your personal library
- Shared through library synchronization
- Created by copying existing role files

## 🔄 Migration from Phase 1

Phase 2 maintains full backward compatibility with Phase 1 configurations. Your existing agents and MCP servers will continue to work without changes.

New features are additive and optional:
- Library sync is available but not required
- Local file integration is opt-in per agent
- MCP registry enhances but doesn't replace existing MCP management
- Wizards provide alternative setup methods alongside existing commands
