Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Key capabilities

  • Start development servers (e.g., `pnpm dev`, `npm run dev`)
  • Display Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs) like `lazygit` or `htop`
  • Run Read-Eval-Print Loops (REPLs) or database shells (e.g., `python`, `psql`)
  • Tail application logs (`tail -f ...`)
  • Manage the lifecycle of long-running processes
  • Send input to interactive processes

How it works

The skill executes interactive terminal commands, providing modes for direct user interaction, hands-free monitoring of long-running processes, or background dispatch. It captures and renders terminal output.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
command for an interactive or long-running terminal process
You get back
rendered terminal output or managed process state

When to use interactive-shell

  • Start local development servers
  • Run interactive CLI tools like lazygit
  • Open a database REPL like psql
  • Tail application logs

About interactive-shell

Executes interactive terminal commands such as dev servers, TUI interfaces, or REPLs. It maintains active supervision for long-running processes requiring user interaction.

When not to use it

  • When the task is delegation to another coding agent
  • When structured delegation or background AI worker execution is needed
  • When the command is simple and non-interactive, and only stdout/stderr is needed once

Limitations

  • Not for subagent orchestration or delegation to another coding agent
  • Does not provide structured delegation or hidden/background AI worker execution
  • Status queries return rendered terminal output, not raw PTY bytes

How it compares

This skill is designed for interactive terminal UX and process supervision, allowing direct user control and monitoring of long-running processes, unlike simple `bash` execution or subagent delegation.
