Tower - Live Conversation Mirror
Launch tower in a split pane to mirror this session in real-time.
When to trigger automatically
- User says they can't see scrollback or it's gone
- User asks "what did you say?" or "can you repeat that?" after a /clear
- User mentions losing context or not being able to scroll up
- User complains about terminal clearing or output disappearing
When you detect these situations, tell the user you're opening tower in a split pane so they can see the full conversation history, then follow the steps below.
What to do
-
Detect the user's terminal by running:
bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/detect-terminal.sh
-
Launch tower in a split pane:
bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/launch-pane.sh
-
If the output contains "MANUAL_SPLIT", the terminal doesn't support programmatic splits. Show the user the manual instructions from the output.
-
If the launch succeeded, confirm to the user that tower is running in the split pane.
If tower is not installed
Run the setup first:
bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/setup.sh
Then retry the launch.
