Why

RAM is precious nowadays. My agent fleet kept maxing out my 64 GB. If you hoard agents like I do and keep running into the same wall, this plugin might help.

I keep a lot of agent tabs open at once, and most of them are waiting on something, like a PR review or a colleague's email. If I close them, I later have to dig through `claude --resume` or `/resume` to find the right session. With autopark the tabs stay where I put them, and the idle ones stop using memory until I come back.

A Claude Code session with its MCP servers uses 1 to 2 GB, even after sitting idle for days. On my machine autopark parked 12 agents in its first 11 hours. As I write this, 6 of my 9 agent panes are parked, which frees roughly 7 to 11 GB.

Every ten minutes autopark looks for agents that have been quiet for an hour and parks them. The agent process exits, but the pane stays open and keeps showing the conversation. Pressing Enter starts the agent again on the same session, with the same flags, in t
