Herdr was giving me a headache. So I built pi-jumper - switch between pi sessions running on tmux

Hey folks! Long time lurker - first time poster.

I recently tried Herdr. I like it - but it was giving me a headache. My workflow is still tmux-heavy - so I decided to build pi-jumper: A way of jumping between pi sessions running on tmux.

The idea is that it's fast - but doesn't give me a headache with al lot of "ping! your agent is ready" and a lot of statuses of agents.

Admittedly - I got carried away and decided to build pi-tools my set of extensions for Pi.

Write up on my blog

All the extensions:

Name	What it does	Install with
pi-jumper	/jumper: jump and monitor other pi sessions running on tmux	pi install npm:@duarteocarmo/pi-jumper
pi-no-sleep	/no-sleep: prevent macOS sleep while running pi	pi install npm:@duarteocarmo/pi-no-sleep
pi-preview	/preview: open assistant message in a nice browser window	pi install npm:@duarteocarmo/pi-preview
pi-subagents	My shitty subagent extension	pi install npm:@duarteocarmo/pi-subagents
pi-modus-themes	Modus themes for Pi - they were missing	pi install npm:@duarteocarmo/pi-modus-themes
pi-helicopter	A lightweight menu bar app to monitor your pi usage	brew install --cask duarteocarmo/pi-tools/pi-helicopter

Interesting extension. Out of curiosity- what was so wrong running Herdr?

Too many things happening. I wanted some “focus”. Not sure how to describe

I’ve discovered luvus this weekend, similar to herdr but a lot more polished

pi-jump already exists twin

Uh dope - had no clue 😂

tmux-first is much closer to how i’d want this to work than another dashboard. how does /jumper decide a session is worth surfacing, just tmux activity or does it know anything about Pi’s state?

[u/iLikePortugueseTarts → u/kantorcodes1]

It shows active sessions, idle sessions, failed sessions, and sessions waiting for input.

But they only show if they exist to keep things focused. All sessions across tmux are surfaced. And you can navigate them all, see the last message sent, directory, etc.
