SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Delegates complex coding tasks to AI agents that run in background sessions, enabling uninterrupted chat flow while features are built, reviewed, or refactored.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Background coding sessions for Codex, Claude Code, Pi, and OpenCode to perform feature development, PR reviews in temp dirs, and large-scale refactors without blocking the conversation.
  • Supports per-agent PTY configurations and permission modes to ensure safe, deterministic execution.
  • Use cases include building new features, reviewing PRs, or exploring large codebases with automated exploration and iterative edits.

Quick Start

Create a temporary git project and start a background coding session with codex to implement a feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run background coding sessions for feature development without blocking my chat workflow?

Background coding sessions run AI agents like Codex and Claude Code asynchronously, enabling uninterrupted chat flow while features are built or refactored. This hands-off execution delegates complex coding tasks to controlled runtime environments.

Can I automate PR reviews using AI agents in temporary directories?

Yes, automate PR reviews by delegating code exploration to AI agents running in temporary directories. Agents safely analyze and review pull requests without blocking your conversation, supporting continuous development workflows.

Do I need PTY support to run Codex and OpenCode agents for automated code review?

Yes, PTY support is required for Codex, Pi, and OpenCode agents to perform automated code review and feature development. Claude Code alternatively uses --print --permission-mode bypassPermissions for background execution.

What's the best way to coordinate multiple AI agents for large-scale refactoring?

Multi-agent coordination for large-scale refactoring uses a controlled runtime to manage multiple background sessions. This allows iterative edits and automated codebase exploration across different agents simultaneously without conversation interruptions.

How does permission mode bypassPermissions work with Claude Code for background execution?

Claude Code uses --print --permission-mode bypassPermissions to enable safe, deterministic background execution without PTY requirements. This mode ensures automated coding tasks run uninterrupted while maintaining controlled runtime environments.
