How does tmux integration work for managing terminal context continuity?▼

Tmux integration enhances terminal context continuity by coordinating terminal tab name restoration and session state management. The session management tool interacts with tmux to automatically recover your working environment when an AI agent session begins.

Can I set and recall user preferences for AI agent behavior across sessions?▼

Yes, you can set and recall user preferences for AI agent behavior across sessions. The tool supports manual commands to update your preferences, which are saved in JSON files and automatically restored when a new session initializes.

Does this session management tool require any external dependencies to restore context?▼

No, this session management tool does not require any external dependencies to restore context. It operates independently using scripts to manage terminal tab names, user preferences, and context bookmarks via local JSON file storage.

What is the best way to resume a long coding session with an AI agent?▼

The best way to resume a long coding session is to bookmark your progress with a specific note before ending. Upon your next session start, the tool automatically restores your terminal tab name and displays your saved context notes and relevant files.
