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

1. plan: Define your implementation plan with PRs and commits

2. track: Monitor progress and current status of all work items

3. 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
