Use terminals
The terminal drawer runs at the bottom of the window. It gives you a real shell on the host device, next to the transcript.
Open and use the drawer
- Open the terminal drawer from the bottom of the window. Drag its top edge to set the height.
- Open a terminal tab. Each tab runs a shell in the session's project folder on the host device.
- Run commands as usual. Output streams live.
Terminals belong to the open session. Switch sessions, and each one keeps its own tabs.
Tab behavior
- Reorder tabs by dragging them.
- Close a tab with a middle click.
- Replay. When you reopen a terminal or reconnect, the drawer replays the recent output, then continues live.
- Limits. Up to 32 terminal tabs per session. A tab whose shell exited stays for 30 minutes, then clears.
Why a terminal next to the agent
The agent runs its own commands inside the transcript. The drawer is for you: start a dev server the agent should not own, run a command you do not want in the session history, or poke at state while you read a diff.
Next steps
- Start a session: give the agent work worth supervising.
- Review changes: read the results.
