System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Node.js lacks a simple, safe way to spawn and manage external processes, run shell commands, and coordinate CLI tools from within apps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Exec commands via a shell with buffered output or direct binary execution without a shell to prevent injection.
  • Spawn long-running processes with streaming I/O, real-time log handling, and robust error handling.
  • Fork Node.js workers for IPC-based offloading of CPU-intensive tasks.
  • Support for working directories, environment variables, timeouts, and cross-platform considerations; orchestration of builds, tests, packaging, and automation tasks.

Quick Start

Ask it to run a long-running npm build and stream logs in real time.
