Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

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

I know about these. My question was about Tmux. Also the Claude resume search is not full text, it only matches session names.

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.

Same thing bit me. What fixed it was keeping the session id next to the checkout instead of letting the directory be the key. Small local db, one row per worktree. Resume then doesn't care where I'm standing, it just continues that transcript. I've got worktrees I haven't touched in weeks that still pick up fine.

One thing I didn't expect: forking a conversation copies the history into a new transcript. So anything you count per transcript, cost in my case, double counts that prefix. Resuming the same id doesn't.

The 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.

maybe it is deliberate to throw off the spies.
