SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Run coding agents in a background session to enable deterministic, isolated programmatic control over coding tasks, reducing setup friction and context-switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

Background-first control: Launch Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Pi Coding Agent in a focused directory to prevent wandering.
Session management: Create, monitor, and terminate agent sessions with simple actions and session IDs.
Tool-agnostic workflows: Seamlessly switch between multiple agents per project or task with consistent lifecycle.

Quick Start

Start a coding agent in a target directory with background mode and monitor progress using a session ID.

FAQPage Schema

How do I run a coding agent in the background for automated tasks?▼

Run a coding agent in the background by launching Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Pi Coding Agent in a focused directory to prevent wandering. This enables deterministic, isolated programmatic control over automated programming tasks.

What is the best way to manage multiple coding agent sessions?▼

Manage multiple coding agent sessions by creating, monitoring, and terminating agent instances with simple actions and session IDs. This tool-agnostic approach allows seamless switching between Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, or Pi agents per project.

Can I use Claude Code with tmux for isolated batch coding tasks?▼

Yes, you can use Claude Code with tmux for isolated batch coding tasks. The background-first control launches agents in a focused directory within a tmux session, ensuring deterministic execution and preventing context-switching.

How does background session control prevent coding agents from wandering?▼

Background session control prevents wandering by launching the coding agent in a focused directory with a specified set of required tools. This isolates the agent's actions to the target project and maintains a safe session lifecycle.

When should I use background coding agents instead of interactive sessions?▼

Use background coding agents instead of interactive sessions when you need deterministic, isolated programmatic control over batch coding tasks. This approach reduces setup friction and context-switching for automated workflows.
