Showcase: Custom Lua menus for AI CLI tools (Goose, OpenCode, Gemini)

[voznik]

Hi @abenz1267,

Just wanted to share my appreciation for Walker and especially the Elephant provider system - it's incredibly well designed and flexible!

What I built

I created a set of custom Lua menus to manage various AI CLI tools directly from Walker:

• Goose (Block's AI agent): sessions, recipes, projects, prompts, model switching
• OpenCode: sessions, projects, model switching
• Gemini CLI: sessions, model switching
• TokScale: token usage tracking

Features

• Lazy-loading architecture for fast menu performance
• Desktop notifications for errors/status
• SubMenu navigation for multi-step workflows (like recipe parameter input)

(I'll add screenshots later)

Why I'm sharing this

1. To say thank you for building such a wonderful piece of software
2. To show what's possible with Elephant's Lua provider system
3. Hopefully to inspire others to create their own custom menus

The documentation and architecture made it straightforward to extend, even with complex workflows like the recipe system that passes data between parent/child menus.

Cheers!

There is a community-repo for custom elephant menus at https://github.com/abenz1267/elephant-community.

Menus in this repo can be installed straight from the terminal with f.e. elephant community install xyz.

In case you want your menus shared there.

Had a quick look at the source and they look quite cool!

@abenz1267 yes I'd really like to share my custom menus more efficiently :) should I create PR for that repo?

and thanks, I did not know about elephant community install xyz !
