What's going on in my life as a programmer

What am I busy with outside of work?

agentgrep

agentgrep is a new project for searching local AI agent prompts and history across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. It ships four consumption surfaces from one codebase:

• CLI — agentgrep grep (rg/ag-shaped content search), agentgrep find (fd-shaped file discovery), agentgrep fuzzy (fzf-shaped ranking). A Lucene-style query language threads through all subcommands with field predicates (agent:, mtime:, model:, role:), boolean operators, and date ranges. --json / --ndjson / --vimgrep for pipeline consumption.
• TUI — Textual app with live-streaming results, vim-style navigation, and format-aware JSON/Markdown rendering. Accessible via bare agentgrep or --ui on any subcommand.
• Library — run_search_query() and typed event-stream iterators for embedding in other tools.
• MCP server — agentgrep-mcp exposes search, catalog, discovery, and validation tools plus agentgrep:// resources to any MCP client.

Backed by a Pydantic-modelled storage catalog mapping every known prompt and history store across agents. Seven alpha releases (a0–a6) shipped in May.

libtmux

libtmux shipped three feature releases in May:

v0.56.0 is the command-parity release — 50+ new Python methods covering tmux's full command surface:

• Interactive commands: display_popup(), display_menu(), command_prompt(), confirm_before(), choose_tree(), choose_buffer(), choose_client()
• Buffer I/O: set_buffer(), show_buffer(), delete_buffer(), save_buffer(), load_buffer(), paste_buffer()
• Rearrangement: Window.swap(), Pane.swap(), Pane.join(), Pane.break_pane(), Pane.move(), Window.rotate(), Window.link(), Window.unlink()
• Key bindings and server control: bind_key(), unbind_key(), run_shell(), source_file(), lock_server()
• Headless testing: New control_mode pytest fixture starts a real tmux -C client so interactive commands can be tested without a TTY

v0.57.0 adds a typed client model and tmux-native filtering:

• Client object: Typed access to attached terminals with attached_session, attached_window, attached_pane live-attachment properties
• Server.clients: QueryList accessor for all attached clients
• Native filtering: search_sessions(), search_windows(), search_panes() pass filters directly to tmux's -f flag
• display_message() on Server and Window, joining the existing Pane method

v0.58.0 fixes subprocess output decoding on non-UTF-8 locales, where the Unicode format separator was corrupted and list accessors silently returned empty results.

libtmux-mcp

libtmux-mcp shipped six alpha releases (v0.1.0a4 through v0.1.0a9) maturing the agent-facing terminal control surface:

• Pane recovery: respawn_pane restarts a stuck pane in place, preserving pane_id and window layout
• Layout-relative targeting: find_pane_by_position resolves window corners (top-left, bottom-right, etc.) to a typed pane — no more parsing tmux format variables
• Typed geometry: Pane responses now carry window-relative coordinates and edge predicates so agents can reason about layout without extra queries
• Agent discovery rework: Bare "pane", "window", "session" prompts now activate the server; registration slug standardized to tmux
• Deterministic command completion: wait_for_text redesigned to match only new output, reframing wait_for_channel as the primary synchronization primitive
• Polling correctness: Wrapped-line matching in search_panes, history-limit trim warnings, pane lifecycle detection in wait_for_content_change

vcspull

v1.59.0 overhauls vcspull sync with timeout guards, live progress, and a per-invocation debug log:

• Per-repo timeout: Each repo runs under a 10-second deadline; override with --timeout SECONDS. The end-of-run summary lists timed-out repos with copy-pasteable rerun commands.
• Live status indicator: Terminal spinner shows the active repo name and elapsed time; piped output emits periodic heartbeat lines.
• Streaming output trail: A 3-line panel above the spinner shows recent git output and collapses when each repo finishes; tunable with --panel-lines.
• Per-invocation debug log: Drops debug logs under $TMPDIR/vcspull/ (npm/pnpm style), surfaced automatically on failure or timeout.
• Ctrl-C aborts shell chains: Exits via signal so chained vcspull sync && ... stops on first interrupt.
• Quieter default output: libvcs logs are silenced by default; pass -v/-vv for verbosity.

Built on libvcs v0.40.0, which adds a timeout= keyword to Git.run()/Hg.run()/Svn.run() and fixes a perf regression on ref-heavy repos (2400+ refs).

libtmux-mcp

libtmux-mcp — terminal control for AI agents, built on libtmux and FastMCP — landed its first public alphas: v0.1.0a1 (2026-04-13) through v0.1.0a3 (2026-04-19). It exposes 30+ MCP tools across the tmux hierarchy (server → session → window → pane):

• Read/write/wait: send_keys, snapshot_pane, capture_pane, wait_for_text, wait_for_content_change, wait_for_channel
• Pane lifecycle: respawn_pane for in-place shell recovery preserving pane_id and window layout
• Buffer orchestration: load_buffer, paste_buffer, show_buffer, delete_buffer — agent-namespaced via UUID to prevent cross-session collisions
• Middleware stack: Audit logging, safety-tier gating (readonly/mutating/destructive), readonly retry, bounded output
• Self-guards: Refuses to kill the agent's own pane; auto-GC of namespaced buffers on shutdown

gp-sphinx

gp-sphinx — an integrated autodoc design system for git-pull Sphinx projects — landed its first public alphas: v0.0.1a10 (2026-04-25) through v0.0.1a12 (2026-04-27). It bundles 12 Sphinx packages that replace ~300 lines of duplicated docs/conf.py with ~10 lines:

• Domain autodocumenters: sphinx-autodoc-argparse (CLIs), sphinx-autodoc-pytest-fixtures (pytest), sphinx-autodoc-fastmcp (MCP tools), sphinx-autodoc-typehints-gp (Python types)
• Theme + UX: sphinx-gp-theme, sphinx-fonts (IBM Plex via Fontsource), sphinx-ux-badges, sphinx-ux-autodoc-layout — unified badge palette and layout across all autodoc sources
• Site infrastructure: sphinx-gp-opengraph, sphinx-gp-sitemap
• Sphinx 8.1+ floor, namespaced under gp-sphinx-* CSS

Already powering the docs for libtmux v0.55.1, libvcs v0.40.0, and vcspull v1.59.0.

vcspull

v1.58.0 adds --sync and --prune flags to vcspull import for full bidirectional config reconciliation, a --prune-untracked flag, and a granular options.pin metadata field to protect specific entries from mutation:

• --sync: Updates changed URLs and prunes stale entries, fully reconciling config with the remote
• --prune: Standalone cleanup — removes stale entries without updating URLs
• --prune-untracked: Extends --sync/--prune to also remove entries lacking import provenance
• Provenance tracking: metadata.imported_from tags scope pruning — manually added repos are never removed
• options.pin: Per-repo, per-operation mutation guard (pin: true, pin: {import: true}, allow_overwrite: false)
• Bug fix: vcspull add, discover, and fmt no longer silently corrupt .json config files

Available on all six import providers. Pruning is config-only — cloned directories on disk are not deleted. Uses a consistent CRDT action model (classifier → enum → apply) across all five config-mutation operations.
