SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automate the observation and control of terminal panes inside a zellij session to drive coding agents, monitor progress, and unblock workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pane discovery and targeting: locate the agent pane within a session and direct commands to it.
  • Screen reading and decision making: dump pane output to determine next actions based on prompts and status.
  • Input automation: send keystrokes or text to the pane to control the agent, support wait loops, and coordinate multiple agents.
  • Use cases: automate repetitive agent interactions, unblock stalled agents, script cross-agent workflows, and respond to agent prompts through zellij.

Quick Start

Identify the agent pane and start driving it with scripted keystrokes.

Can I send keystrokes to a specific zellij pane to control a coding agent?▼

Yes, you can send keystrokes or text to a specific zellij pane by discovering the target agent pane within the session and directing scripted input automation commands to control it.

What is the best way to unblock stalled coding agents in a terminal multiplexer?▼

The best way to unblock stalled coding agents in zellij is to dump pane output to read the screen, determine next actions based on prompts, and send necessary keystrokes to respond and resume the workflow.

How do I read terminal screen output to decide actions for an automated agent?▼

You can read terminal screen output to decide actions for an automated agent by dumping the pane output within a zellij session to monitor progress, determine next actions based on prompts, and coordinate responses.

Do I need any external dependencies to script cross-agent workflows with zellij?▼
