AgentLantern
AgentLantern is a suite of developer tools for multi-agent LLM systems.
Point it at any agent project — it detects the framework automatically, documents the architecture, checks design issues, and can visualize supported crews while they run.
Lantern Tools
AgentLantern is organized around a small CLI surface. Each command does one job and can be used from the root of an agent project or with an explicit project path.
Document the system
Generate a structured docs site with overview, architecture, diagrams, agents, tasks, runbook, and contacts.
lantern webCheck the design
Run deterministic lint rules for missing fields, broken references, idle agents, YAML issues, and CI output.
lantern lintWatch the run
Start, stop, inspect, and replay supported agent runs inside the animated Play environment.
