SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pi Interactive Shell helps you coordinate and supervise long-running coding-agent sessions (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, and pi) from a single interface, avoiding manual micromanagement of multiple tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Foreground vs Background Subagents: manage hands-free supervision, dispatch, and background tasks for interactive sessions.
  • Structured session control: start, monitor, and feed input to subagents, with status querying and output capture.
  • Quick-start workflow: begin a hands-free or dispatch session and attach to monitor progress.

Quick Start

Start a hands-free session with interactive_shell and monitor progress over time.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage multiple interactive coding agents like Claude Code and Gemini CLI in one place?

Coordinate interactive coding-agent sessions across engines like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex CLI from a single interface. The skill starts, monitors, and feeds input to subagents, avoiding manual micromanagement of multiple tools.

What is the best way to supervise long-running coding tasks hands-free?

Supervise long-running coding tasks hands-free by using foreground and background subagents. You can start a session with interactive_shell, query status, and capture output over time without manual intervention.

Can I run background subagents for headless delegation in interactive shells?

Run background subagents for headless delegation using structured session control. The skill manages background tasks with safe defaults, handles timeouts, and provides clear handoff options for delegated work.

How do I send input and check status on a dispatched coding-agent session?

Send input and check status on dispatched sessions through structured session control. You query the active state, feed input to the subagent, and capture the resulting output to monitor progress across engines.

Does this interactive shell coordination approach work with Cursor CLI and Codex CLI?

Interactive shell coordination works with Cursor CLI, Codex CLI, and pi. You can dispatch long-running tasks and manage headless delegation across these specific coding-agent engines.

What are the limitations when managing background tasks across multiple interactive shells?

Limitations when managing background tasks include handling timeouts and ensuring safe defaults. You must manage structured handoff options carefully to avoid losing output capture when delegating headless tasks across shells.
