SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Run coding agents (Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Pi Coding Agent) in the background to automate repetitive coding tasks and streamline development workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Background execution: Start coding agents in the background to work without blocking your terminal.
  • PTY-required: Requires a pseudo-terminal for interactive CLIs to function correctly.
  • Session management: List, log, write, submit, and kill sessions to monitor and control long-running tasks.
  • Multi-provider support: Work with Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and Pi Coding Agent from a single interface.
  • Configurable context: Use workdir, background, and PTY options to tailor agent behavior for each task.

Quick Start

Launch a PTY-enabled background Codex session in your project directory to automate coding tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions about coding-agent

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run Claude Code in the background without blocking my terminal?▼

You can run Claude Code in the background by launching it through a PTY-enabled background process, which allows interactive CLIs to function without blocking your terminal session.

How do I manage multiple background coding agent sessions?▼

You can manage multiple background coding agent sessions using built-in session controls to list active tasks, view logs, write input, submit commands, and kill sessions when finished.

Does background coding agent execution require a pseudo-terminal?▼

Yes, background coding agent execution requires a PTY-capable terminal because interactive coding CLIs need a pseudo-terminal environment to function correctly during long-running tasks.

Can I use background coding agents for batch code reviews and automated code generation?▼

Yes, background coding agents are designed for long-running interactive coding tasks, batch code reviews, and automated code generation within local workspaces using configurable working directories.

What coding agents can I control through a single background session interface?▼

You can control multiple coding agents including Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and Pi Coding Agent through a single background session interface with configurable workdir and execution options.

Why do my interactive coding agents fail when launched in the background?▼

Interactive coding agents fail in the background if launched without a pseudo-terminal, as background execution requires a PTY-capable terminal to maintain interactive CLI functionality.
