Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
Useful for developers running several coding agents at once across repositories who keep losing track of which one needs input; for anyone who wants persistent shells without configuring tmux; for people doing remote development who want files, repos and panes to stay on the remote machine.

Risk explanation
Shell integration is injected when a pane starts rather than installed by you. That is convenient and is how prompt marks, working directory and exit codes work, but it means the terminal is modifying your shell environment at launch; The SSH path installs a one-time unprivileged tty7-server on the remote host to support remote workspaces. That is disclosed and unprivileged, but it is a change to machines you connect to; Benchmarks are maintainer-run on one Apple M1 Pro. A reproduction script is published, but no third-party numbers are cited; 47 open issues against a project three months old, and agent 'fork' support needs both the agent's own fork command and the hook — read the support matrix before assuming your agent gets the full feature set.
