Field-notes proposal for a conversational layer over kolu that summarises what each active terminal is asking and dispatches user replies into the right session — a planning-mode-only orchestration surface that quiets itself the moment a terminal is focused. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Per-terminal metadata subscription already publishes the "what is this session asking" data; unified ledger is a presentation surface, not a new streaming procedure.
…eams NL intent parsing and per-CLI safe injection are independent volatility axes. Naming them as separate seams prevents a single dispatcher module from coupling algorithm-strategy changes to per-CLI protocol changes.
Per-CLI injection volatility lives on the same axis as detection and state-watching. AgentProvider already encapsulates that axis; adding a separate DispatchProvider family would double the blast radius of adding a new CLI without naming a new volatility axis.
Server contract takes a plain instruction string; transport mode is client-only, mirroring sendInput. STT and input-widget concerns stay on the client and aren't part of this proposal's scope.
The original "two surfaces over a single conversational primitive" framing reads as if read and write share the same authoring mechanism. After the lowy split they don't — they share UI chrome over different seams. Replace the framing so an implementer doesn't infer a unified LLM context from the prose.
"Terminal focus" and "user attention" are synonymous on one monitor and diverge on two. Note the assumption explicitly so the second-display layout variant doesn't silently inherit a wrong trigger.
…r-CLI The arbitration policy can't be answered once and applied uniformly because each agent CLI surfaces "I'm busy" differently. Surface the fragmentation inside the injection-seam description so it can't be treated as a single global decision.

Proposes a planning-mode "meta-agent" — a conversational layer over kolu that summarises what each active terminal is currently asking and dispatches user replies into the right session, then quiets itself the moment a terminal is focused. Originally surfaced as a wishlist item from one user juggling three Claude / opencode sessions in parallel; the cost wasn't reading or typing but the constant context-reload of switching between sessions just to keep each conversation alive.
This is a draft proposal per
CONTRIBUTING.md— opening it as a draft because three open questions remain that maintainers are better placed to answer. No implementation lands in this PR; the markdown file is the entire diff.Reshaped during structural review
The original draft framed the feature as "two surfaces over a single conversational primitive." Hickey + lowy structural review caught real complecting and a missing volatility seam — the post-review proposal reflects what landed:
AgentProvider, not a parallel adapter family (closed OQ on agent-CLI fragmentation)Each finding landed as its own commit so the structural progression is reviewable in
git log.Open questions surviving the review
Happy to be steered on any of these — they're called out in the proposal's Open questions section:
