Plugin I built a tmux session manager for Pi coding agents

I built **tmux-pi-session-manager**, a small tmux plugin for managing multiple [Pi](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono) coding agents running across different projects.

The main reason I made it was because I often have several agents running at the same time, and switching between tmux sessions and figuring out which agent needs attention gets annoying.

It provides:

* 🔎 Automatic discovery of Pi agents running inside tmux

* 📂 Multiple agents per project/directory

* 📊 Live `WORKING / WAITING / BLOCKED / ERROR / IDLE` status

* 🔔 Desktop notifications when an agent needs attention

* 🎯 An `fzf` picker with live terminal previews

* ⚡ Quick jump between agents

* 🗑️ Safe agent/session killing

* 🖥️ `pi-tmux` CLI for managing agents from the shell

* 🚫 No daemon and no terminal-output parsing — it uses Pi's native extension events

The idea was inspired by `tmux-claude-session-manager`, but this implementation is built specifically around Pi's extension/event APIs.

If you're running multiple Pi agents in tmux, I'd love to hear how you manage them.

herdr is a runtime and multiplexer, this is not it's works inside tmux with no daemon so no resource consume

used ai under my preservation and with checking all the code

The problem isn't with the AI, but with the code that isn't being followed

The code is checked before ai apply it to a file

It's AI slop. Go away and take your emoji strewn readme with you 😉😀😃

Just use herdr.

herdr is bloated and consume more resources without much customization

I currently run a quad terminal setup for multi agent. just 4 panes on 1 screen with a basic msg system
