Not everyone has tmux. I default to tmux if you have it and fallback to xterm.js

Some people open a claude code session and just talk with it. And some use hooks, custom commands, agent-teams..and so on. You can definitely be a power user. But I’m sure whether that translates to actual “power” is up for debate.

That's a good point, I'll look into tackling this soon

This is my interpretation as well, Anthropic wants to be in full control of the connection between the client and their servers, and that's compatible with what I'm trying to do.

Codex and Gemini have ACP servers already:

https://github.com/zed-industries/codex-acp https://geminicli.com/docs/cli/acp-mode/

In fact Codex, in OpenAI fashion, have their own protocol as well:

https://developers.openai.com/codex/app-server

Opencode too. These tools are already so programmable and embeddable, it's just Claude Code is a sticking point. But maybe it would be useful to provide a unified CLI and Daemon for all of them.

Hello everyone.

Claudraband wraps a Claude Code TUI in a controlled terminal to enable extended workflows. It uses tmux for visible controlled sessions or xterm.js for headless sessions (a little slower), but everything is mediated by an actual Claude Code TUI.

One example of a workflow I use now is having my current Claude Code interrogate older sessions for certain decisions it made: https://github.com/halfwhey/claudraband?tab=readme-ov-file#s...

This project provides:

- Resumable non-interactive workflows. Essentially `claude -p` with session support: `cband continue 'what was the result of the research?'` - HTTP server to remotely control a Claude Code session: `cband serve --port 8123` - ACP server to use with alternative frontends such as Zed or Toad (https://github.com/batrachianai/toad): `cband acp --model haiku`. - TypeScript library so you can integrate these workflows into your own application.

This exists cause I was using `tmux send-keys` heavily in a lot of my Claude Code workflows, but I wanted to streamline it.

That’s neat I was working on a skill for this exact purpose:

https://github.com/halfwhey/skills/tree/master/plugins/tmux

Two use cases I use this for is debugging with GDB/PDB and giving me walkthroughs on how to use TUIs
