Abstract
The adapter compresses session history into prompt-relevant state while retaining enough provenance to support repair and reproducibility.
This site frames the project as an academic discussion artifact: it states the adaptation problem, proposes a design stance, and lists evaluation lenses that can be expanded into experiments.
Research Question
How can prompt_agent preserve reasoning context while tmux evolves through commands, panes, and partial failures?
Adaptation Notes
- Prompt context is built from pane summaries, recent commands, and explicit artifacts.
- Repair loops keep failed outputs attached to the originating instruction.
- Context compression is evaluated against replayable terminal evidence.
Evaluation Lens
- Prompt-state faithfulness
- Repair quality after command failure
- Compression loss in long sessions
Open Discussion
The central methodological risk is mistaking terminal completion for agent understanding. The project therefore treats tmux as both infrastructure and evidence: pane state, focus movement, command output, and recovery behavior all become part of the argument.
Future work can connect this static discussion to executable harnesses, trace viewers, and standardized task suites for cross-agent comparison.
