SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Spawn and manage autonomous IO subprocesses to run long-running tasks with full session isolation and independent life cycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spawn fully independent io CLI processes with their own sessions, tools, and terminal environments.
  • Support non-interactive one-shot mode (-q) for quick tasks and interactive PTY sessions for multi-turn collaboration.
  • Provide robust session management, logging, and orchestration across multiple agents or tasks.

Quick Start

Start an interactive IO session in PTY mode and provide task details to begin.

FAQPage Schema
How do I spawn isolated subprocesses for long-running tasks?

To spawn isolated subprocesses for long-running tasks, this Skill creates fully autonomous IO processes with independent sessions and terminal environments. It manages these subprocesses using SQLite for robust session logging and orchestration across multiple agents.

Can I run non-interactive one-shot commands with subprocess spawning?

Yes, you can run non-interactive one-shot commands by using the quick mode (-q) for fast task execution. For multi-turn collaboration, it also supports interactive PTY-backed sessions to maintain continuous state across interactions.

Do I need the io CLI installed to manage autonomous subprocesses?

Yes, managing autonomous subprocesses requires the io CLI to be installed and accessible on your system PATH. This dependency is necessary to handle the underlying session management and logging operations driven by SQLite.

What's the best way to manage multiple interactive PTY sessions?

The best way to manage multiple interactive PTY sessions is using this Skill's built-in orchestration to spawn isolated io CLI processes. It provides full session isolation and independent life cycles, with SQLite handling the underlying logging and state management.

When should I not use isolated subprocess spawning for task automation?

You should not use isolated subprocess spawning for lightweight or transient task automation that does not require independent life cycles or multi-turn PTY collaboration. It is specifically designed for long-running tasks needing robust session isolation and SQLite-backed orchestration.
