What is IST?

Integrated Session Tools (IST) is a toolkit that supercharges your AI coding sessions with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI.

The Problem​

When working with AI assistants on coding tasks:

  • Sessions are isolated - no communication between multiple AI instances
  • Context is lost when sessions restart
  • Managing multiple AI workers is chaotic
  • No way to monitor what AI agents are doing in real-time

The Solution​

IST provides a set of CLI tools that make AI sessions persistent, coordinated, and observable:

ToolCLI CommandWhat it does
SeshiseshStart, attach to, and configure sessions
TDAitdaManage teams of manager/worker sessions
Loggable CLIilogsessionPersistent session logs across restarts
MessengerimessengerAI agents can communicate with each other
Detector Agentdetector-agentSession detection and monitoring

Key Features​

Sessions (isesh)​

Start and attach to sessions bound to a working directory, with a profile that defines the session's role:

# Start a manager session in a project directory
isesh start my-project -p tda-manager -w ~/my-project

# Attach to it
isesh attach my-project

Manager / Worker Teams (itda)​

A manager session can delegate work to worker sessions. Inspect and manage the whole team:

# List sessions
itda list

# View the manager/worker tree
itda tree -a

# Stop a manager and its workers together
itda stop my-project

Session Logging (ilogsession)​

Every AI session is logged under ~/.ist/logs/, so the full history is preserved even when sessions restart.

Monitoring (detector-agent)​

Log in once with detector-agent login to enable session detection, auto-approval, and the web dashboard.

Quick Example​

# Install IST
npm install -g @microwiseai/snapshot
snapshot install @ist/beta

# Start a manager and a worker in your project
isesh start myproj-mgr -p tda-manager -w ~/my-project
isesh start myproj-worker -p tda-worker -w ~/my-project

# Attach to the manager and give it a task in plain language
isesh attach myproj-mgr
