Nice, I will give this a go. This is what /resume should be but because sessions are tied to directories it's very easy to lose track of where you started what. Until now I've been asking Claude 'what was the conversation we had about [X]' which works but is clunky in the extreme.

#12The name is pretty ominous if you've read the Three Body Problem series. I don't want my agents planning against me in secrecy. Just out of curiosity, why did you pick that name? Is there anything wallfacey about this project I'm not getting?
From the README:
> The name is borrowed from the Wallfacers of Liu Cixin's The Dark Forest — people entrusted with plans too sprawling for anyone else to follow.
Which misunderstands the book. The point of Wallfacers is that they cannot share their plan with anyone because the enemy is spying on them at all times.

#13I see the need for such a tool. I just ask myself: why should I use a brand-new vibe-coded tool if I can just vibe-code my own? One that's fine-tuned exactly for my use case? That's not a rant against Wallfacer. It's just an observation about the state of the open-source world in 2026...
isn't this the open source dream? Fork it and make it your own

this a cynical interpretation of it. It reduces OSS to free source code, not as in free speech, but as free beer.
OSS was always about collaborative engineering process. Together we bet the system. Hacking for freedom. Now we reduced it to the modern individualism.

#15Why do people keep trying to reinvent tmux?

#16Related: several months ago I made a TUI session search/manager tool as part of my suite of Claude/codex productivity tools:
https://pchalasani.github.io/claude-code-tools/tools/aichat/...
There’s Rust/Tantivy-based search and a whole host of utilities to view, resume, trim (to clean up context when close to limit), port to Claude/codex, move accounts, etc.
The search has a json mode for agents, and a corresponding skill so you can just ask Claude/codex to search for the “latest session where I worked on xyz”.

#17Why do people keep trying to reinvent tmux?
I didn’t quite understand. I use Tmux extensively and have tons of sessions running different panes etc. But how does Tmux solve the session search problem, maybe I’m not aware of some Tmux feature?

#18reminds me of good old days of opensource, when we use to search everything on github, but good try, keep building

#19I work in a massive monorepo with a bunch of different services. Over the last month, I realized I was starting Claude Code sessions everywhere. I would hit a weird issue, remember I had already solved it with the agent a few days ago, and then realize I had no way to easily find that specific session. CC stores these as JSON files, keyed by the directory you happened to be in at the time. I built Wallfacer because I…
I just tell claude "Few days ago we worked on xxx, find the session and let's resume."
I have a codebase that is so large that after of couple of weeks this and after working on similar stuff all over the place this becomes impossible, and expensive.

Try the left arrow in Claude Code and now you have session search. Or claude --resume, down arrow, then Ctrl-A to see everything
