What is GWT PTY communication used for?

It serves as a transport layer for agent-to-agent communication, allowing different AI personas to coordinate complex tasks through terminal panes.

Can I send instructions to all active terminals at once?

Yes, the send_keys_broadcast command allows you to send text or commands to all running panes simultaneously for broad orchestration.

Which agent roles are supported by this skill?

It is optimized for Project Mode orchestration involving Lead, Coordinator, and Developer agent roles to streamline team-based AI development.

Is this skill restricted to a specific project scope?

Yes, it utilizes the GWT_PROJECT_ROOT environment variable to ensure that terminal commands and panes are only accessible within the caller's project.

How does Claude monitor the progress of a terminal session?

Claude uses the capture_scrollback_tail command to read the output of a specific terminal pane, allowing it to check for status or errors before proceeding.

协作工具

Facilitates seamless communication and orchestration between AI agents using terminal-based PTY transport.

This skill enables Claude to act as an orchestrator within multi-agent workflows by leveraging pseudo-terminal (PTY) communication. By using specialized commands like send_keys_to_pane and capture_scrollback_tail, Claude can coordinate tasks across different terminal sessions, monitor execution progress, and manage specialized agent roles such as Lead, Coordinator, and Developer. This is particularly effective for complex software development projects that require parallel execution, deterministic orchestration, and real-time status tracking between multiple AI personas within a scoped project environment.
