SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates coding workflows by delegating complex tasks to Codex, Claude Code, Pi, or OpenCode agents via a controlled background process, reducing manual context switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Background session management for coding tasks across multiple agents.
  • Supports feature development, code review, and large-scale refactoring with safe, isolated execution across multiple backends.
  • Use case: spawn an agent to scaffold a new module, run long-running tests, and report results back to your workspace.

Quick Start

Spawn a coding agent in your project workspace to start a background coding task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate coding workflows by delegating tasks to an AI agent?

You can automate coding workflows by delegating complex tasks to AI agents like Codex, Claude Code, Pi, or OpenCode via a controlled background process. This reduces manual context switching by safely executing feature development, code review, and large-scale refactoring in isolated sessions.

How do I run Claude Code in a background process for large-scale refactoring?

To run Claude Code in a background process for large-scale refactoring, execute it using a non-PTY terminal with the --print flag. This enables safe, isolated execution without requiring a PTY-enabled environment, allowing the agent to process refactoring tasks seamlessly in the background.

Do I need a PTY-enabled terminal to use Codex or OpenCode agents for feature development?

Yes, you need a PTY-enabled terminal to delegate feature development tasks to Codex, Pi, or OpenCode agents. Claude Code is the exception, requiring a non-PTY terminal with the --print flag for safe, isolated background execution and session management.

Can I manage multiple background coding sessions across different AI agents?

Yes, you can manage multiple background coding sessions across different AI agents. The system provides agent orchestration and background session management, allowing you to spawn agents to scaffold modules, run long-running tests, and report results back to your workspace.

What is the best way to handle code review and feature development without manual context switching?

The best way to handle code review and feature development without manual context switching is delegating tasks to AI agents via a controlled background process. This approach applies safe, isolated execution across multiple backends and reports results back to your workspace.

Why does my background coding agent fail when spawning an isolated session?

Your background coding agent session may fail due to incorrect terminal configurations. Codex, Pi, and OpenCode agents require PTY-enabled terminals, while Claude Code requires a non-PTY terminal with the --print flag to execute background tasks properly.
