Do you have a reference for this "super-agent magic"?
Potentially veering way off topic, but Gnome's "Seahorse" rocks:

Seahorse, more often boringly referred to as "Passwords and Encryption
Keys" is the default SSH agent for many Gnome-based distros (including
and in particular Ubuntu). It stores your full SSH keychain and is
always running/accessible. It will also optionally permanently store
your unlock passphrases (in gnome-keyring). As an SSH agent it will
prompt you for passphrase unlocks in a nice Gtk prompt window explaining
why its prompting you. It provides nice GUI-based mechanisms for new key
generation and for uploading public keys to remote .ssh/authorized_keys
files.
It's a whole bundle of set it up and forget it's awesome. It makes SSH
key management nearly painless.
