Terminal and TUI automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to create a terminal session, run a command in a terminal, automate an interactive CLI or TUI, wait for terminal output, capture a TUI screenshot, export a terminal recording, or test a CLI workflow with reviewable artifacts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Terminal Automation with agent-tty If `agent-tty` is not already available in the environment, fetch the current `README.md` from `coder/agent-tty` on GitHub and follow its installation instructions before continuing. Otherwise use `agent-tty` directly. Examples use `jq` for JSON parsing; any JSON-processing tool works. Prefer isolated homes, JSON envelopes, and renderer-backed artifacts so terminal workflows stay reviewable and reproducible. ## Core Workflow Every terminal or TUI automation task should follow this pattern: 1. **Create an isolated home** with `--home`. 2. **Check prerequisites** with `doctor --json` before screenshot or recording work. 3. **Create a session** with `create --json`. 4. **Run setup commands** with `run` instead of simulating long shell typing. 5. **Wait on observable terminal state** with `wait` instead of blind sleeps. 6. **Inspect the current screen** with `snapshot`. 7. **Capture proof artifacts** with `screenshot` or `record export`. 8. **Destroy the session** when finished. ```bash AGENT_HOME="$(mktemp -d)" agent-tty --home "$AGENT_HOME" doctor --json …

How to install
mdr add coder/agent-tty/agent-tty@sha256:467341aa1a990ac9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.31252b5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
