## What it is
Pixel Agents is a VS Code extension and standalone CLI that visualizes AI coding agents (like Claude Code) as animated pixel-art characters working in a tiny virtual office. Agents walk to desks, type when editing files, read when searching, and visually flag when they need input.

## Use cases
- visualize what my AI coding agents are doing in real time
- monitor multiple Claude Code agents from one dashboard
- see when my agent is stuck waiting for input
- run a fun pixel-art office view of my coding agents in the browser
- track agent activity while working in tmux or remote sessions

## When to choose
- you run AI coding agents like Claude Code and want at-a-glance status visibility
- you want a playful, visual way to monitor multiple parallel agents
- you use VS Code or a terminal/tmux workflow and want agent activity rendered as animation

## When to avoid
- you need serious agent orchestration, scheduling, or task management rather than visualization
- you don't use AI coding agents in terminals
- you need a lightweight headless setup with no UI
