cc-session-control 0.7.4

TUI manager for Claude Code sessions and Remote Control

cc-session-control

TUI manager for Claude Code sessions and Remote Control.

CLI command: csctl

Features

• Sessions Tab — View, resume (tmux-first: Enter resumes into the per-project tmux window; t bare-terminal fallback; R backgrounds into tmux; ⧉ marks tmux-resident sessions), terminate, and delete Claude Code sessions across all projects; a cleanup submenu (c) prunes empty/short sessions and sweeps orphan artifact directories
• Projects Tab — The startup tab: start a new tmux claude session in a project dir (Enter), start/stop RC servers per project (o/s), toggle auto-start, show running/stopped/dead states
• Background agents Tab — List background agent jobs; take over, respawn, watch their timeline, stop, or remove them

Built with urwid.

UI language: Simplified Chinese (notifications and status text). CLI output is in English.

Requirements

• Python 3.12+
• Claude Code CLI installed and authenticated
• tmux (for Remote Control management)
• Linux / WSL (macOS support is partial — /proc-based liveness detection is Linux-only)

Installation

Install the latest published release:

uv tool install cc-session-control
# or
pipx install cc-session-control

Upgrade later with uv tool upgrade cc-session-control (or pipx upgrade cc-session-control).

Latest master build

To try the newest master before it is released, install from GitHub:

uv tool install --reinstall git+https://github.com/dzshzx/cc-session-control.git

csctl manages the Claude Code state on the machine where it is installed: the local ~/.claude, local tmux, and the projects recorded in the local ~/.claude.json. Install it separately on each machine whose sessions you want to manage. For working on the code instead of using it, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Usage

# Open TUI
csctl

# Remote Control management (no TUI)
csctl rc status          # Show all projects and RC status
csctl rc add .           # Add current directory to RC list and start
csctl rc add ~/code/app  # Add by directory path
csctl rc rm ~/code/app   # Remove and stop
csctl rc up              # Start all listed projects
csctl rc stop all        # Stop all RC servers
csctl rc list            # Show auto-start list

# Session cleanup
csctl prune                          # Dry run: show stats
csctl prune --max-prompts 1 --apply  # Delete sessions with ≤1 prompt

# Resume rescue (headless): list sessions across directories with
# ready-to-copy resume commands (native /resume only searches the cwd
# and hides sdk-ts/bridge sessions)
csctl resume                 # Page 1, 20 per page
csctl resume mybug           # Keyword: sid/cwd/title, then transcript body
csctl resume --page 2        # Next page
csctl resume --all           # Everything, no paging

# Bundled Claude Code skill (session-doctor knowledge for the agent)
csctl skill install          # Write SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/
csctl skill install --force  # Replace an existing skill directory
csctl skill uninstall

# Options
csctl --theme light            # Force the TUI palette (auto/dark/light)
csctl --version

Configuration

Environment Variable	Default	Description
CSCTL_RC_SESSION	rc	tmux session name for RC servers
CSCTL_RC_STAGGER	2	Seconds between starting RC servers
CSCTL_THEME	auto	TUI palette: auto (detect the terminal background via OSC 11 / $COLORFGBG) / dark / light. tmux typically doesn't answer the OSC 11 query, so inside tmux auto falls back to dark — set this (or --theme) explicitly for a light terminal
XDG_CONFIG_HOME	~/.config	Config directory base

RC auto-start list is stored at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/csctl/rc-enabled.
