Context Meter
A context chip next to the model chip on terminal tabs and pane headers, showing the share of the context window the last turn used. It updates for the terminal you are working in, and the same figure appears on Mission Control participant pills.
Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Context exhaustion does not announce itself. An agent that was sharp an hour ago starts forgetting the file it just edited, and by the time you notice, the session is worth restarting rather than continuing. A percentage on the tab turns that into something you can see coming — and when you are running four agents, it tells you which one to hand the next big task to.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Look at the terminal tab
The context chip sits next to the model chip on tabs and pane headers, so it is visible without opening anything.
Read it as a share of the window
The figure is the portion of that agent’s context window the last turn used, not a raw token count you have to interpret.
Compare agents in Mission Control
Participant pills and Team Map cards carry the same figure, so one glance across the rail shows which collaborator still has room.
Act before it runs out
Route the next heavy task to the agent with headroom, or start a fresh terminal for the one that is nearly full.

Why It Matters
The productivity impact of having terminal & ai agents built into your workspace
Zero Context Switching
All your AI agents and terminals live in one window. No more alt-tabbing between 5 different terminal apps.
Visual Status Tracking
Color-coded tabs and the Kanban dashboard tell you which agents are done, running, or need attention — at a glance.
Persistent Sessions
Tmux-backed persistence means your terminal state survives crashes and restarts. Never lose scrollback history again.
Flexible Arrangements
One-click layouts adapt to your task: grid for monitoring, columns for comparing, fullscreen for deep focus.
