Important
Most of the functionality in this plugin has been ported into the core cmux app. Please update your version of cmux, try it there, and then only install this plugin if that doesn't work.
Amp plugin for cmux that turns your cmux tab into a live dashboard for the Amp agent.
Built on the Amp Plugin API introduced with Amp Neo. The plugin API is experimental and subject to change.
- Live status badge in the cmux tab switcher —
idle→thinking→running: yarn test/editing: cmux-status.ts/reading: README.md→done/error/interrupted. Tool labels include the actual shell command being run, the file being edited, the search pattern, etc., powered by the Neo plugin helpers (shellCommandFromToolCall,filesModifiedByToolCall). - Workspace title tracks the Amp thread ID, including a chain of any
threads spawned via
handoff. Manual renames are detected and preserved across agent restarts. - cmux activity log entries for prompt received, tool errors, spawned threads, and turn outcomes.
cmux_notifytool the agent can call to fire a native macOS notification when it needs your attention.- Command palette actions under the

- Macro notification when an agent turn ends with an error.
- Session restore — when cmux relaunches, Amp threads resume in place via
amp threads continue <id>. The plugin auto-registers Amp as a custom vault agent in~/.config/cmux/cmux.jsonand writes a hook-session record for each thread. Requires cmux nightly or ≥ 0.64.4 once released (custom vault registry support). Older cmux silently ignores the files.- Manual fallback:
cmux: Register Amp for cmux session restorein the command palette.
