Attempt to solve attention gap: Agent-Aware Terminal is a native Linux terminal designed to help developers stay connected to their work while coding agents run. Agent sessions create an attention gap: developers either watch terminal output or switch to unrelated content and lose task context. Our terminal offers a project-aware alternative: a feed of relevant facts, quizzes, ideas, and live GitHub pull requests alongside a compact visualization of the agent’s activity. System-1 model interprets terminal activity and helps select relevant content. A separate content researcher can use Meta’s Muse agent to explore the repository and create project-specific cards. Developers choose when to open the feed and can return to the terminal immediately when needed. Built with GTK and VTE, the prototype includes contextual retrieval, content generation, and measured file-change summaries. The goal is to make waiting useful while keeping the current project close at hand.
