tmux-companion is a Rust binary that replaces shell-script tmux statusline forks with a warm daemon, and adds agent tracking (inbox/brief/journal), session persistence, a project picker, and a fuzzy key cheatsheet. It's interesting because it tackles a real power-user pain point—forking hundreds of processes per second for a statusbar—and extends it with an explicit agent-aware workflow for multi-agent terminal use.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, terminal power users
