What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the friction of manually launching coding agents and chore-like task orchestration by enabling background, CLI-driven coding sessions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Background execution of coding agents (Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi Coding Agent) to automate repetitive programming tasks.
- Session management using commands to monitor progress, feed inputs, and terminate tasks.
- Supports both non-interactive background work and interactive sessions via tmux for advanced workflows.
Quick Start
Install prerequisites and start a background session in a target directory:
SCRATCH=$(mktemp -d)
bash workdir:$SCRATCH background:true command:"codex exec --full-auto 'Build a small feature'"
-
Create a working area and start a background agent:
SCRATCH=$(mktemp -d)
bash workdir:$SCRATCH background:true command:"codex exec --full-auto 'Build a small feature'"
-
Monitor progress:
process action:log sessionId:XXX
-
Send input if prompted:
process action:write sessionId:XXX data:"y"
-
Kill the session if needed:
process action:kill sessionId:XXX
