Loom Update v2

Loom has been greatly updated I finally added a web dashboard, which took forever.

There are a plethora of new features, including:

• Sessions — exit out of sessions with the exit button, or connect sessions to each other
• Models — spawn in models with one click, then apply your own skills to them
• Workflows — save a workflow, load it later, or create one purely in JSON — incredibly helpful for projects
• Skills — create, edit, and delete skills, all organized by folder; apply a skill to an AI while it’s running, plus a couple more features. Incredibly helpful!
• Tiling — arrange sessions side by side in the dashboard instead of being stuck with one view at a time
• Custom glyphs — each coding agent gets its own icon/symbol so you can tell them apart at a glance (Codex’s promptAgent, Claude’s code, and GPT-4o-mini’s reviewer each show up distinctly)

Under the hood

This release also folds in a batch of CLI improvements from the last dev log:

• Persistent memory — skills now auto-enable session persistence when applied, with /persist, /save, /load, and autosave on session lifecycle events
• Permanent one-way routing via /route//unroute, alongside the existing bidirectional /connect
• Live token tracking per session, with fixed Codex accounting so cached/reasoning tokens aren’t double-counted
• New backend: GitHub Copilot CLI support with resume and headless mode
• Cleaned up console output — grouped speakers, tool icons, purple prompt echo, and a top bar that now matches each session’s log color

Loom CLI Dev Log

2026-07-02

Dashboard

• Fixed chat bar positioning and added a top status bar for active sessions.
• Fixed multi-hop routing completing before real output arrived.
• Cleaned up console output with grouped speakers, collapsed blank lines, tool icons, and purple prompt echo.
• Top bar now matches each session’s log color and can display model labels.

Skills

• Added /skills new|edit|list|show|delete|apply with external editor support.
• Skills can auto-apply on spawn (/spawn codex as prompter).
• Applying a skill automatically enables persistent memory for that session.

Persistence

• Added /persist, /save, /load, and autosave on session lifecycle events.
• Persistence must be explicitly re-enabled after restart.
• Added configurable resume warning (persistence.warn_after_messages, default: 20).

Input

• Added bracketed paste support with collapsed paste previews.
• / now shows searchable command suggestions.
• Added /clear.

Backends

• Added GitHub Copilot CLI backend (copilot npm package) with resume support and headless --allow-all.

Token Tracking

• Added live per-session token counts.
• Fixed Codex accounting so cached/reasoning tokens aren’t double-counted.

Session Lifecycle

• /kill now fully removes sessions instead of leaving stopped entries.
• Fixed potential deadlock during session cleanup.

Cursor Fixes

• Redraw timer now only runs while sessions are active.
• Fixed Windows cursor placement when the input box is empty.

Scrolling

• Reworked scrolling to use a fixed anchor instead of following live output.
• Added mouse wheel scrolling for better PowerShell compatibility.

Routing

• Added permanent one-way routing with /route and /unroute.
• Left /connect unchanged since bidirectional links naturally loop; /route covers the persistent pipeline use case without feedback loops.
