Banjo Duet

Banjo Duet is a Second Brain for your code — run Claude Code and Codex in your editor.

Requires Claude Code or Codex installed. Run claude /login if you haven't already.

Editor Support

Editor	Installation
Zed	Extensions → "Banjo Duet" → Install
Neovim	{ "joelreymont/banjo" } with lazy.nvim

Features

• Auto-continue with Dots — when Claude pauses at turn limits, Banjo checks for pending Dots tasks and automatically continues
• Auto-resume sessions — continues your last conversation
• Dual engine support — Claude Code and Codex side-by-side
• Streaming output — real-time responses with markdown rendering

Zed-specific

• Code notes as @banjo[id] comments with LSP diagnostics
• Auto-setup with /setup lsp
• Duet routing: /claude, /codex, /duet

Neovim-specific

• Dedicated panel with input/output buffers
• Tool call display with folding
• File path navigation (jump to file:line references)
• Input history and session management
• Multi-project workspaces (:BanjoProject) with tab-scoped buffers

Dots Integration

Banjo's killer feature: automatic continuation when Claude hits turn limits.

1. Install Dots
2. Track tasks with dot add "task description"
3. When Claude pauses, Banjo sends "continue working on pending dots"

This keeps Claude working autonomously on complex multi-step tasks.
