How do I interact with an agent running in the background?

You can use the process tool actions like 'log' to see output, 'poll' to check status, and 'submit' or 'write' to send responses if the agent asks for user input.

Which specific AI coding agents can I run?

The skill is pre-configured to handle Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, and the Pi Coding Agent, but can theoretically run any CLI-based tool via the bash interface.

Why is PTY mode required for this skill?

Coding agents like Codex and Claude Code are interactive terminal applications. Without a pseudo-terminal (PTY), output formatting breaks and the agents often hang because they cannot handle interactive prompts correctly.

Can I run multiple coding agents at the same time?

Yes. By using background mode and git worktrees, you can launch multiple instances of coding agents to fix different bugs or review different PRs in parallel.

Does Codex require a specific environment to run?

Yes, Codex specifically requires a trusted git directory. For scratch work, this skill recommends creating a temporary directory and running 'git init' before starting the agent.

Developer Tools

Orchestrates background execution and programmatic control of popular AI coding agents like Codex, Claude Code, and Pi.

This skill enables Claude to act as a high-level manager for specialized AI coding agents, providing a robust framework for autonomous development. By leveraging a bash-first approach with mandatory PTY (pseudo-terminal) support, it allows for the parallel execution of complex tasks such as large-scale refactoring, batch pull request reviews, and autonomous bug fixing across multiple git worktrees. It provides granular control over background processes, including real-time log monitoring and interactive input handling, making it an essential tool for scaling AI-driven development workflows without blocking the primary user interface.
