mcp-micromanage
Control your coding agent colleague who tends to go off track.
If sequentialthinking is a dynamic formulation and externalization of thought workflows, this tool is a dynamic formulation and externalization of development task flows.
Motivation
Challenges with Coding Agents
- Coding agents often make modifications beyond what they're asked to do
- Assuming cursor+claude
- They struggle to request user feedback at key decision points during implementation
- Work plans and progress tracking can be challenging to visualize and monitor
Solution
- Commit and PR-based Work Plans: Force implementation plans that break down tickets into PRs and commits as the minimum units of work
- Forced Frequent Feedback: Enforce user reviews at the commit level, creating natural checkpoints for feedback
- Visualization: Instantly understand the current work plan and implementation status through a local React app
tool
- plan: Define your implementation plan with PRs and commits
- track: Monitor progress and current status of all work items
- update: Change status as work progresses, with mandatory user reviews
Visualization Dashboard
The project includes a React-based visualization tool that provides:
- Hierarchical view of PRs and commits
- Real-time updates with auto-refresh
- Status-based color coding
- Zoom and pan capabilities
