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

1. Detect the user's terminal by running:

   bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/detect-terminal.sh
   

2. Launch tower in a split pane:

   bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/launch-pane.sh
   

3. If the output contains "MANUAL_SPLIT", the terminal doesn't support programmatic splits. Show the user the manual instructions from the output.

4. 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.
