ming-14/PTY-Agent

Give your AI agent a real terminal: persistent PTY sessions, prompt-triggered returns, screen snapshots, and TUI/GUI/crash awareness. | 给 Agent 一个真实的终端

Project Overview项目介绍

PTY-Agent is a DSH-native CLI plugin that enables AI agents to interact with pseudo-terminals just like a human user. Unlike traditional agent terminal integrations that only deliver unprocessed raw stdout byte streams, PTY-Agent captures fully rendered terminal screen snapshots, letting AI work with interactive REPLs, debuggers, TUIs, and installers that require user input mid-process. It uses ConPTY on Windows and openpty on Linux, integrates natively with DSH agents, and supports triggers that return control to the agent when a specific regex prompt appears on screen.

This plugin is designed for AI-assisted developers who need to complete complex interactive terminal tasks that most general-purpose agents cannot handle. A common workflow starts with the DSH agent launching a PTY-Agent session for an interactive program like gdb or SSH, then waits for the specified prompt to appear before sending the next sequence of input. It supports persistent sessions, asynchronous non-blocking execution, and YAML-based DAG workflow orchestration for multi-session tasks, letting developers delegate complex end-to-end workflows to their AI assistant.

PTY-Agent currently officially supports Windows 10 and newer, and all modern stable Linux distributions, with macOS support still in active development. To install, you can either download a pre-built release package from the repository’s Releases page, or clone the full source code and run the included build.py script to compile it yourself. Most of the codebase is licensed under the MIT license, but the web static assets and RIME input method code are licensed under AGPL-3.0, and the sandbox security feature is currently only available on Windows.

PTY-Agent 是一款专为 DSH 开发的原生 CLI 插件,核心能力是为 AI 代理提供可交互伪终端环境,让 AI 能像真实用户一样操作终端内的 REPL、调试器、TUI 应用等交互式程序。它基于 Windows ConPTY 和 Linux openpty 实现,可获取渲染后的终端屏幕快照,而非传统方式的原始字节流,支持 DSH 代理直接调用。

开发者可以借助 PTY-Agent 让 AI 代理完成需要交互式终端的开发任务,比如远程 SSH 登录、调试二进制程序、运行交互式安装程序等。AI 可以等待特定提示符出现后再继续下一步,支持持久化会话、异步运行和多会话工作流编排,适合需要 AI 处理复杂交互式终端任务的开发人员。

PTY-Agent 当前支持 Windows 10+ 和 Linux,macOS 支持仍在开发中。安装可直接下载预编译的 Release 包,也可克隆源码后运行 build.py 编译。项目大部分代码采用 MIT 许可证,web 静态资源和 RIME 部分采用 AGPL-3.0 许可证,沙箱功能目前仅在 Windows 可用。

PTY-Agent


Let AI use terminals like a real user.

Drive REPLs, debuggers, TUIs, installers, long-running services, and coding agents — getting what the user actually sees on screen, not just a raw stdout byte stream.

Python Windows Linux Architecture src Tests Web

PTY-Agent drives cdb.exe and returns as soon as the 0:000 prompt matches


Features

  • ✨ Shell · CUI · TUI — use terminals like a human: start sessions, send keys, wait for prompts, read screens
  • ✨ Cross-platform — Windows / Linux, macOS coming soon
  • ✨ Real-time Web monitoring — watch and control every terminal session, collaborate live
  • ✨ Sandbox — restrict AI operations to the workspace, prevent accidental damage
  • ✨ Plugin system — extend functionality freely
  • AI secondary analysis — pipe long logs, large outputs, even rendered terminal screenshots to another AI
  • Sub-agents — launch OpenCode / Claude Code / ... across harnesses, managed centrally
  • Workflow orchestration — multi-session DAG choreography
  • Remote terminal access — SSH-like experience

Why PTY-Agent?

Traditional agents can't run ssh, gdb, cdb, or any program that asks you a question.
