Stop your agents from fighting each other.
Atomic port assignment, session coordination, pub/sub messaging, and agent resurrection — one daemon, zero config.
Port Daddy is a daemon that gives every AI agent its own port, coordinates file access, and recovers work when they crash. One install, zero config.
While individual agents are brilliant, coordination is the bottleneck. Port Daddy provides the missing primitives: atomic port assignment, pub/sub messaging, distributed locks, session trails, and agent resurrection.
# Start working (registers agent + claims port + starts session)
pd begin "Building the auth layer" --identity myapp:api
# Log progress, coordinate with other agents
pd note "JWT validation passing all tests"
pd pub api:ready '{"endpoints": ["/login", "/register"]}'
# Done (ends session + releases everything)
pd done "Auth complete"
myapp:api) map to stable, deterministic ports.*.pd.local) to visualize active agents, service health, and message traffic.http://api.pd.local instead of magic port numbers.# Via Homebrew (macOS)
brew install curiositech/tap/port-daddy
# Via npm
npm install -g port-daddy
pd doctor # Verify environment
pd start # Start the daemon
pd bench 50 # Run performance benchmarks (Target: <1ms latency)
Stop hardcoding ports in your shell scripts. Use pd claim:
# Claim a stable port for your project
PORT=$(pd claim myapp -q) npm run dev -- --port $PORT
Port Daddy scans your project and builds a dependency graph automatically:
pd scan # Detects 60+ frameworks and generates .portdaddyrc
pd up # Starts all services in dependency order with color-coded logs
pd-fleet.yml — cron/trigger-based agents with pub/sub chaining.Every work session progress through defined Phases for clear swarm visibility:

pd status # Quick overview of daemon and services
pd version # Check for stale code and FFI health
pd health # Authoritative report from the Barnacle (Port 9875)
