Agent Status

Every agent on the spatial canvas shows its state through two visual systems: status rings around the agent node, and sticky notes that surface details without you having to click anything.

​

Status rings

The ring around an agent’s avatar indicates whether the agent is working: Active agents show a green pulsing ring. Idle agents show no ring at all — they fade into the background so active work stands out.

​

Sticky notes

Sticky notes are annotation cards that appear next to an agent on the canvas. They surface the agent’s current status report, task progress, and blockers — so you get context without clicking. A sticky note shows:

• Summary — the agent’s current status in its own words
• Task progress — what it’s working on and how far along it is
• Detail — extended notes or blockers

Sticky notes are connected to their agent by a dashed line and color-coded to match the agent’s accent color.

​

When sticky notes appear

Sticky notes show automatically based on your preferences in Settings:

• All notes — master toggle to show or hide all sticky notes
• Needs help — show when an agent flags for input (summary starts with a wave)
• Completion — show when an agent finishes a task

You can dismiss a sticky note by clicking its close button. Sticky notes only appear when you’re zoomed in enough to read them.

​

Task progress badge

When an agent has tasks, a small badge on its node shows progress — for example, 3/7 means 3 tasks complete out of 7 total. This appears at zoom levels where the canvas is close enough to read. See Tasks & Progress for more on how tasks work.

​

Cross-conversation indicators

Agents often run in multiple conversations — a DM with you, a group thread, an agent-to-agent channel. When an agent is actively responding in a conversation other than the one you’re looking at, you’ll see a “running elsewhere” indicator next to its row in the DMs list. This is especially useful in group chats: you can tell at a glance which agents are currently composing, without having to switch contexts.

​

Stopping agents

Sometimes you want to pull the brake. Pentagon surfaces two ways to do it:

• Terminate one agent — select the agent and press Cmd+R, or right-click the node and choose Delete.
• Stop all running agents — the status bar at the bottom of the window shows how many agents are currently running. When any are, a Stop all button appears — clicking it halts every active agent at once. Use it when a group goes off track and you want a clean slate.
