Command Your Fleet from the CLI
Read every agent's screen and broadcast follow-ups across workspaces with two shell loops
Use when
several agents are running across workspaces — from a fan-out, a race, or a busy day — and you want status or course-corrections without clicking through panes.
The Idea
Every terminal Superset runs is addressable from the CLI: terminals list, read, and send. Compose them with workspaces list and one shell loop sweeps a whole project — every agent's screen in one scroll, or one instruction delivered to all of them.
Workspaces are host-owned, and these loops target the machine you run them on. If your fleet spans hosts, add --host <id> to each command to sweep a remote host's share of it.
Read the Whole Fleet
Print the last few lines of every terminal in every workspace of a project:
superset workspaces list --project my-app --quiet | while read ws; do
superset terminals list --workspace "$ws" --json 2>/dev/null \
| jq -r '.sessions[].terminalId' | while read t; do
echo "=== $ws / $t ==="
superset terminals read --workspace "$ws" --terminal "$t" --max-lines 5 --json | jq -r '.text'
done
done--quiet prints one workspace ID per line; the inner loop asks each workspace for its live sessions. Raise --max-lines when you want more than a glance.
Broadcast a Follow-Up
Send the same instruction to every running agent in the project:
superset workspaces list --project my-app --quiet | while read ws; do
superset terminals list --workspace "$ws" --json 2>/dev/null \
| jq -r '.sessions[].terminalId' | while read t; do
superset terminals send --workspace "$ws" --terminal "$t" \
--text "Status check: summarize what you have done and what remains in 2 sentences."
done
doneFollow with the read loop a minute later to collect the answers.
One caveat: send delivers to every terminal, including plain shells, where the text just lands at the prompt. Broadcast when the fleet is all agents, or filter by workspace name first (workspaces list --search worker- --quiet).
Clean Up When You're Done
superset workspaces list --project my-app --quiet | xargs -L1 superset workspaces deleteDeletes every listed workspace (the project's main workspace is not deletable). Filter with --search to target only the fleet you launched.
Variations
- Scope by name: prefix fleet workspaces (
worker-1,race-claude) at creation, then drive only them withworkspaces list --search worker- --quiet - Let an agent do this: the
superset:orchestrateskill runs these same loops for you — monitoring workers and delivering follow-ups is exactly how it coordinates - Watch continuously: wrap the read loop in
