What problem does it solve?
The interactive-shell skill enables Pi to supervise and manage interactive CLI tasks, either through an observable overlay or in headless dispatch mode, so agents can watch progress, intervene, or delegate work without losing control of long-running processes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Foreground subagents run in an overlay where users can interact and steer the session.
- Hands-free monitoring provides periodic updates while the agent watches, with optional auto-exit on quiet.
- Dispatch and background modes allow fire-and-forget tasks, reattach workflows, and transfer of output for downstream processing.
Quick Start
Use the interactive_shell skill to launch a long-running command and observe results in an overlay: interactive_shell({ command: 'npm run dev' })
