What problem does it solve?

Long-running processes like servers, watchers, and long builds can block AI agent execution, causing delays and stalled workflows. This Skill provides a pattern to run these tasks asynchronously so the agent remains responsive.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Use the WaitMsBeforeAsync parameter to detach long-running commands after startup.
  • Verify background processes with a completion/status check and safe termination when needed.
  • Handles common blockers, errors, and recovery steps in development automation.

Quick Start

Use run_command with WaitMsBeforeAsync to start a long-running server in the background and immediately regain control.
