By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a tool called leeway to manage port conflicts when running multiple AI agents in parallel worktrees. The tool assigns each folder a stable port range and provides these ports as environment variables to servers, preventing crashes or incorrect server assignments. Leeway also includes features to stop servers and their watchers, and can be integrated into AI agent sessions. AI

IMPACT Streamlines development workflows for AI agents, potentially improving productivity and reducing debugging time.
