SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates non-blocking, long-running coding tasks by running coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or others) as background processes for programmatic control.

Core Features & Use Cases

Non-blocking execution: manage long-running coding tasks without blocking your main workflow.
Parallel agents: run multiple agents concurrently for faster iteration and batch work.
Lifecycle visibility: monitor progress, capture outputs, and cleanly terminate tasks; ideal for PR reviews, automated coding tasks, and background automation.

Quick Start

Start a background coding task by launching a focused agent in a project workspace and monitor its progress with process.

FAQPage Schema

How do I run coding agents in the background for long tasks?▼

To run coding agents in the background for long tasks, you orchestrate non-blocking processes like Claude Code or Codex using a process tool for lifecycle management. This enables parallel execution, output streaming, and workdir isolation without blocking your main workflow.

Can I run multiple coding agents in parallel for faster iteration?▼

Yes, parallel coding agents run concurrently by managing multiple background processes like Claude Code or OpenCode simultaneously. This allows for faster iteration and batch work by executing non-blocking, long-running coding tasks in isolated workdirs.

Does background process orchestration support workdir isolation and session control?▼

Background process orchestration supports workdir isolation and session control by managing the lifecycle of coding agents. It handles automated code reviews and backend coding work by capturing outputs and cleanly terminating tasks through the process tool.

What coding agents can I manage as background processes?▼

You can manage coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode as background processes. Managing these agents programmatically provides lifecycle visibility, allowing you to monitor progress, capture outputs, and cleanly terminate tasks.

What is the best way to monitor progress and capture outputs from background coding tasks?▼

The best way to monitor progress and capture outputs from background coding tasks is by using a process tool for lifecycle management. It provides session control and output streaming, allowing you to track progress and cleanly terminate tasks when finished.
