Which coding agents are compatible with this skill?

This skill is designed to work with Codex, Claude Code, Pi Coding Agent, and OpenCode, provided their respective binaries are installed on your system.

How do I know when a background coding task is finished?

You can monitor tasks using the process:log tool, or use the recommended 'openclaw system event' trigger to receive an immediate notification upon task completion.

Can I run multiple agents simultaneously?

Yes, by using background mode and git worktrees, you can spawn multiple agents in parallel to handle tasks like fixing several bugs or reviewing multiple PRs at once.

Why does this skill require PTY mode?

Coding agents like Codex and Claude Code are interactive terminal applications. Enabling pty:true provides a pseudo-terminal required for proper output formatting, colors, and handling interactive prompts.

Productivity & Workflow

Delegates complex development tasks and feature builds to specialized background AI agents like Codex and Claude Code.

The Coding Agent skill empowers users to offload intensive development work—such as building new features, performing large-scale refactors, or conducting batch PR reviews—to specialized AI agents running in the background. By utilizing pseudo-terminal (PTY) support and isolated working directories, it ensures interactive CLI agents function correctly while allowing the primary user to maintain their workflow. It excels at managing long-running tasks across multiple branches or repositories using git worktrees for safe, parallel execution.
