SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates coding agents in background to enable programmatic control over coding tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Background execution of coding agents (Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi) for long-running tasks.
  • PTY-enabled interactive sessions that preserve terminal behavior and color output.
  • Script-friendly workflow with start, monitor, and terminate controls.

Quick Start

Create a temporary git-enabled project and invoke codex in PTY-backed background mode to begin automation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run coding agents in the background for automation?▼

You can run coding agents in the background for automation by using PTY-backed sessions that enable programmatic control. This allows software engineers to script and manage long-running interactive coding tasks across local projects without keeping a terminal window open.

What is a PTY-backed session for interactive CLI automation?▼

A PTY-backed session is a pseudo-terminal environment that preserves terminal behavior and color output during background execution. It allows interactive coding agents to run smoothly in the background while remaining script-friendly for programmatic input and control.

Can I use this to automate interactive CLI tools like Claude Code or Codex?▼

Yes, background execution supports coding agents like Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and Pi. These interactive CLI tools run inside PTY-enabled sessions, allowing you to feed input, list tasks, and monitor logs programmatically.

How do I monitor and control background coding tasks once they are running?▼

You control background coding tasks using structured commands for listing active sessions, viewing logs, feeding input, and killing tasks. This script-friendly workflow provides complete start, monitor, and terminate controls over your automated coding agents.

Do I need any specific dependencies to script background coding agents?▼

No specific dependencies are required to run background coding agents. The skill operates independently using PTY-backed sessions and structured commands to manage interactive CLI tasks without relying on external components.

Why does background automation preserve terminal color output for coding agents?▼

Background automation preserves color output by using PTY-enabled interactive sessions that mimic a real terminal environment. This ensures coding agents behave exactly as they would in a foreground terminal, maintaining visual formatting and interactive responses.
