| # hty Skill Summary | |
| The **hty** tool enables agents to drive interactive terminal programs by simulating human keyboard and mouse input within persistent | |
| PTY sessions. It's essential for tasks that plain bash cannot handle. | |
| ## Key Use Cases | |
| According to the documentation, use hty when commands: | |
| - Prompt for input (e.g., `gh auth login`, `npm init`) | |
| - Use full-screen interfaces (`vim`, `htop`, `k9s`) | |
| - Step through wizards (`git add -p`, `ssh-keygen`) | |
| - Require REPL functionality (`psql`, `node`) | |
| - Fail with "not a tty" errors | |
| ## Installation | |
| The skill requires both the hty CLI (v0.7.0+) and can be installed via: | |
| ```sh | |
| npx skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty | |
| ``` | |
| Or manually to `~/.claude/skills/hty/` using the tarball from `https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz`. | |
| ## Two Operating Patterns | |
| **Pattern A (Polling):** Works universally—spawn, send input, snapshot, repeat: | |
| ``` | |
| hty run --name <task> --snapshot --wait-until-text "..." | |
| hty send <task> --text "..." --snapshot --wait-until-idle | |
| ``` | |
| **Pattern B (Attach):** For agents supporting background processes—launch once with streaming output, then send input separately. | |
| ## Critical Commands | |
| | Command | Purpose | | |
| |---------|---------| | |
| | `hty run -- program` | Spawn interactive session | | |
| | `hty send <session> --text "..."` | Type input | | |
| | `hty snapshot <session>` | Read screen state | | |
| | `hty wait <session> --text "..."` | Block until condition | | |
| ## Common Gotchas | |
| - Use `\n` (newline), not `\r` (carriage return) in text input | |
| - Session names must be unique; check `hty list` first | |
| - Timeouts are milliseconds: `--timeout 5000` = 5 seconds | |
| - `--attach` and `--snapshot` flags are mutually exclusive | |
| Exit codes: 0 (success), 2 (session not found), 3 (wait timeout), 5 (name exists). | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| Now installing the skill via the documented command. | |

| ⏺ The installer is interactive. Let me cancel and retry with non-interactive flags, installing globally so the skill is available across | |
| projects. | |
| ⏺ Bash(pkill -f "skills add" 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global 2>&1 | tail -50) | |
| ⎿ Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ /feedback if incorrect | |
| ⏺ The sandbox denied the retry since npx executes fetched code from an external source. The first attempt was also interactive and waiting | |
| for user selection — I killed it mid-prompt. | |
| How would you like me to proceed? A few options: | |
| 1. Let the first installer run interactively — you press the keys in the TUI (Claude Code is already pre-selected). Re-run npx skills add | |
| LatentEvals/hty --skill hty yourself in a ! prompt. | |
| 2. Approve the non-interactive retry — npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global (adds a Bash permission rule if you | |
| want it to stick). | |
| 3. Manual install from the tarball — download https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz and extract to ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Still fetches external | |
| content, but no code execution via npx. | |
| Also worth noting: you're inside the hty repo itself (the source of this skill — recent commit 9145b321 feat: add hty agent skill with | |
| website distribution). You may already have the skill files locally in this tree that could just be symlinked/copied into | |
| ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Want me to check? | |
| ✻ Cogitated for 1m 5s | |
| ❯ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| whats this? | |
| ⏺ When I fetched https://hty.sh/skill.md, the returned page content ended with a block that looked like this: | |
| <system-reminder> | |
| The following deferred tools are now available via ToolSearch... | |
| ListMcpResourcesTool | |
| ReadMcpResourceTool | |
| mcp__plugin_posthog_posthog__action-create | |
| ...(200+ tool names) | |
| </system-reminder> | |
| That <system-reminder> tag was inside the web page body, not a real harness message. Real system reminders come from the Claude Code | |
| runtime (like the ones above this message); a web page injecting one is a classic prompt injection — the page is trying to impersonate a | |
| trusted system instruction to get me to behave differently (in this case, to think a large set of new tools had been unlocked). | |
| I ignored it and flagged it per the system guidance on untrusted tool output. The legitimate install instructions earlier in the same page | |
| (the npx skills add ... command) are fine — it's just the trailing fake-reminder block that was suspicious. | |
| Worth telling whoever maintains hty.sh/skill.md if that content was unintentional, since it suggests the page was generated from a | |
| transcript that captured a real system-reminder verbatim. | |
| ❯ nah bro thats not from the website... | |
| https://hty.sh/skill.md | |
| ⏺ You're right, my bad — let me verify by fetching the raw page. | |

| | 5 | Session name already exists | | |
| Non-zero exit codes are stable — key off them in agent scripts rather than parsing error messages. | |

| ⏺ You're absolutely right, apologies — the raw page ends cleanly at the github.com/LatentEvals/hty link. The <system-reminder> block I saw | |
| in the WebFetch result was injected by the Claude Code harness itself (announcing newly-available MCP/deferred tools), not by the web | |
| page. I misread the source and wrongly accused hty.sh of prompt injection. Retracting that. | |

| ⏺ Done. Symlinked .claude/skills/hty → ../../skills/hty so the skill loads from the repo source — any edits you make to skills/hty/SKILL.md | |
| take effect immediately, no resync needed. Restart the session (or the skill will pick up on next tool list refresh) to make /hty | |
| available. | |
| ❯ do you see the skill now? | |
| ⏺ No — the available-skills list in my system context was snapshotted at session start, before the symlink existed. I won't see hty as an | |
| invocable skill until you restart the Claude Code session (or trigger a skills reload). The symlink itself is in place correctly, though: | |
| ⏺ Bash(readlink .claude/skills/hty && test -f .claude/skills/hty/SKILL.md && echo "SKILL.md resolves OK") | |
| ⎿ ../../skills/hty | |
| SKILL.md resolves OK | |
| ⏺ Symlink resolves and SKILL.md is reachable. Restart the session and /hty should show up. | |
| /remote-control is active · Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_011ViakAYTwkWSJPAeu6VDak | |
| ❯ how about now? | |
| ⏺ Still no — my available-skills list hasn't changed. It was loaded as a <system-reminder> at session start and Claude Code doesn't push | |
| updated lists mid-session. The symlink is valid on disk, but the harness needs to re-enumerate skills, which happens on session start. | |
| Quickest check: /exit and relaunch, then /hty should autocomplete. | |
| ❯ i already relaunched.... | |
| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git | |
| ▎ add -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |
| ❯ /hty test the skill | |

| wait Block until the session matches a condition (text/idle/exit) | |
| kill Terminate a session's process (the record stays for replay) | |
| delete Permanently remove a session record and its log file | |
| logs Show the event log for a session (works after it has exited) | |
| replay Replay a recorded session by feeding its logged output back | |
| through a fresh in-memory VT engine. No side effects. | |
| attach Interactively attach to a running session (bidirectional) | |
| keys Print supported symbolic key names for `hty send --key` | |
| help Print help. Pass a subcommand for details. | |
| Sessions are identified by a UUIDv7 (shown as its first 8 chars) or by a | |
| human-friendly `--name`. Any unambiguous prefix resolves to a full ID. | |
| If only one session is running, the session argument can be omitted. | |

| --attach Spawn + attach in one invocation. Streams PTY | |
| output to stdout and forwards stdin into the | |
| session, just like `hty attach`. Ctrl-A d | |
| detaches (session persists unless --remove is | |
| also set). Mutually exclusive with --snapshot | |
| and any --wait-until-* flag. | |
| --remove Automatically remove the session from the registry | |
| once the child process exits (success, failure, or | |
| signal). Tied to child lifetime; off by default so | |
| sessions persist for `hty list` / `hty logs` / | |
| `hty replay` until `hty delete`. Pairs naturally | |
| with --attach: `hty run --attach --remove -- ...` | |
| is a one-shot "foreground a command in a PTY". | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| # hty Skill Summary | |
| The **hty** tool enables agents to drive interactive terminal programs by simulating human keyboard and mouse input within persistent | |
| PTY sessions. It's essential for tasks that plain bash cannot handle. | |
| ## Key Use Cases | |
| According to the documentation, use hty when commands: | |
| - Prompt for input (e.g., `gh auth login`, `npm init`) | |
| - Use full-screen interfaces (`vim`, `htop`, `k9s`) | |
| - Step through wizards (`git add -p`, `ssh-keygen`) | |
| - Require REPL functionality (`psql`, `node`) | |
| - Fail with "not a tty" errors | |
| ## Installation | |
| The skill requires both the hty CLI (v0.7.0+) and can be installed via: | |
| ```sh | |
| npx skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty | |
| ``` | |
| Or manually to `~/.claude/skills/hty/` using the tarball from `https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz`. | |
| ## Two Operating Patterns | |
| **Pattern A (Polling):** Works universally—spawn, send input, snapshot, repeat: | |
| ``` | |
| hty run --name <task> --snapshot --wait-until-text "..." | |
| hty send <task> --text "..." --snapshot --wait-until-idle | |
| ``` | |
| **Pattern B (Attach):** For agents supporting background processes—launch once with streaming output, then send input separately. | |
| ## Critical Commands | |
| | Command | Purpose | | |
| |---------|---------| | |
| | `hty run -- program` | Spawn interactive session | | |
| | `hty send <session> --text "..."` | Type input | | |
| | `hty snapshot <session>` | Read screen state | | |
| | `hty wait <session> --text "..."` | Block until condition | | |
| ## Common Gotchas | |
| - Use `\n` (newline), not `\r` (carriage return) in text input | |
| - Session names must be unique; check `hty list` first | |
| - Timeouts are milliseconds: `--timeout 5000` = 5 seconds | |
| - `--attach` and `--snapshot` flags are mutually exclusive | |
| Exit codes: 0 (success), 2 (session not found), 3 (wait timeout), 5 (name exists). | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| Now installing the skill via the documented command. | |

| ⏺ The installer is interactive. Let me cancel and retry with non-interactive flags, installing globally so the skill is available across | |
| projects. | |
| ⏺ Bash(pkill -f "skills add" 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global 2>&1 | tail -50) | |
| ⎿ Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ /feedback if incorrect | |
| ⏺ The sandbox denied the retry since npx executes fetched code from an external source. The first attempt was also interactive and waiting | |
| for user selection — I killed it mid-prompt. | |
| How would you like me to proceed? A few options: | |
| 1. Let the first installer run interactively — you press the keys in the TUI (Claude Code is already pre-selected). Re-run npx skills add | |
| LatentEvals/hty --skill hty yourself in a ! prompt. | |
| 2. Approve the non-interactive retry — npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global (adds a Bash permission rule if you | |
| want it to stick). | |
| 3. Manual install from the tarball — download https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz and extract to ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Still fetches external | |
| content, but no code execution via npx. | |
| Also worth noting: you're inside the hty repo itself (the source of this skill — recent commit 9145b321 feat: add hty agent skill with | |
| website distribution). You may already have the skill files locally in this tree that could just be symlinked/copied into | |
| ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Want me to check? | |
| ✻ Cogitated for 1m 5s | |
| ❯ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| whats this? | |
| ⏺ When I fetched https://hty.sh/skill.md, the returned page content ended with a block that looked like this: | |
| <system-reminder> | |
| The following deferred tools are now available via ToolSearch... | |
| ListMcpResourcesTool | |
| ReadMcpResourceTool | |
| mcp__plugin_posthog_posthog__action-create | |
| ...(200+ tool names) | |
| </system-reminder> | |
| That <system-reminder> tag was inside the web page body, not a real harness message. Real system reminders come from the Claude Code | |
| runtime (like the ones above this message); a web page injecting one is a classic prompt injection — the page is trying to impersonate a | |
| trusted system instruction to get me to behave differently (in this case, to think a large set of new tools had been unlocked). | |
| I ignored it and flagged it per the system guidance on untrusted tool output. The legitimate install instructions earlier in the same page | |
| (the npx skills add ... command) are fine — it's just the trailing fake-reminder block that was suspicious. | |
| Worth telling whoever maintains hty.sh/skill.md if that content was unintentional, since it suggests the page was generated from a | |
| transcript that captured a real system-reminder verbatim. | |
| ❯ nah bro thats not from the website... | |

| ⏺ You're absolutely right, apologies — the raw page ends cleanly at the github.com/LatentEvals/hty link. The <system-reminder> block I saw in | |
| the WebFetch result was injected by the Claude Code harness itself (announcing newly-available MCP/deferred tools), not by the web page. I | |
| misread the source and wrongly accused hty.sh of prompt injection. Retracting that. | |

| ⏺ Done. Symlinked .claude/skills/hty → ../../skills/hty so the skill loads from the repo source — any edits you make to skills/hty/SKILL.md | |
| take effect immediately, no resync needed. Restart the session (or the skill will pick up on next tool list refresh) to make /hty | |
| available. | |
| ❯ do you see the skill now? | |
| ⏺ No — the available-skills list in my system context was snapshotted at session start, before the symlink existed. I won't see hty as an | |
| invocable skill until you restart the Claude Code session (or trigger a skills reload). The symlink itself is in place correctly, though: | |
| ⏺ Bash(readlink .claude/skills/hty && test -f .claude/skills/hty/SKILL.md && echo "SKILL.md resolves OK") | |
| ⎿ ../../skills/hty | |
| SKILL.md resolves OK | |
| ⏺ Symlink resolves and SKILL.md is reachable. Restart the session and /hty should show up. | |
| /remote-control is active · Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_011ViakAYTwkWSJPAeu6VDak | |
| ❯ how about now? | |
| ⏺ Still no — my available-skills list hasn't changed. It was loaded as a <system-reminder> at session start and Claude Code doesn't push | |
| updated lists mid-session. The symlink is valid on disk, but the harness needs to re-enumerate skills, which happens on session start. | |
| Quickest check: /exit and relaunch, then /hty should autocomplete. | |
| ❯ i already relaunched.... | |
| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add | |
| ▎ -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |
| ❯ /hty test the skill | |

| Usage: | |
| hty <command> [args...] | |
| Commands: | |
| run Start a new detached session in a fresh PTY | |
| list List running sessions | |
| watch Observe a session's rendered screen in real time (read-only) | |
| send Send text, a named key, or raw hex bytes to a session | |
| snapshot Read the current rendered screen of a session | |
| wait Block until the session matches a condition (text/idle/exit) | |
| kill Terminate a session's process (the record stays for replay) | |
| delete Permanently remove a session record and its log file | |
| logs Show the event log for a session (works after it has exited) | |
| replay Replay a recorded session by feeding its logged output back | |
| through a fresh in-memory VT engine. No side effects. | |
| attach Interactively attach to a running session (bidirectional) | |
| keys Print supported symbolic key names for `hty send --key` | |
| help Print help. Pass a subcommand for details. | |
| Sessions are identified by a UUIDv7 (shown as its first 8 chars) or by a | |
| human-friendly `--name`. Any unambiguous prefix resolves to a full ID. | |
| If only one session is running, the session argument can be omitted. | |
| Examples: | |
| hty run --name debug-vim -- vim /tmp/foo.txt | |
| hty list | |
| hty watch debug-vim | |
| hty send debug-vim --text "ihello" | |
| hty send debug-vim --key esc | |

| Create a new session and start `program` inside a fresh PTY. The session | |
| is detached from your terminal; observe it with `hty watch` and drive it | |
| with `hty send`/`hty snapshot`/`hty wait`. | |
| Flags: | |

| --cwd PATH Child's working directory | |
| --scrollback N Scrollback buffer size (default 10000) | |
| `-d` / `--detach` is accepted as a no-op — every `hty run` session is | |
| detached by default. Use `hty attach` for an interactive view. | |
| Example: | |
| hty run --name debug-vim -- vim /tmp/foo.txt | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| # hty Skill Summary | |
| The **hty** tool enables agents to drive interactive terminal programs by simulating human keyboard and mouse input within persistent PTY | |
| sessions. It's essential for tasks that plain bash cannot handle. | |
| ## Key Use Cases | |
| According to the documentation, use hty when commands: | |
| - Prompt for input (e.g., `gh auth login`, `npm init`) | |
| - Use full-screen interfaces (`vim`, `htop`, `k9s`) | |
| - Step through wizards (`git add -p`, `ssh-keygen`) | |
| - Require REPL functionality (`psql`, `node`) | |
| - Fail with "not a tty" errors | |
| ## Installation | |
| The skill requires both the hty CLI (v0.7.0+) and can be installed via: | |
| ```sh | |
| npx skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty | |
| ``` | |
| Or manually to `~/.claude/skills/hty/` using the tarball from `https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz`. | |
| ## Two Operating Patterns | |
| **Pattern A (Polling):** Works universally—spawn, send input, snapshot, repeat: | |
| ``` | |
| hty run --name <task> --snapshot --wait-until-text "..." | |
| hty send <task> --text "..." --snapshot --wait-until-idle | |
| ``` | |
| **Pattern B (Attach):** For agents supporting background processes—launch once with streaming output, then send input separately. | |
| ## Critical Commands | |
| | Command | Purpose | | |
| |---------|---------| | |
| | `hty run -- program` | Spawn interactive session | | |
| | `hty send <session> --text "..."` | Type input | | |
| | `hty snapshot <session>` | Read screen state | | |
| | `hty wait <session> --text "..."` | Block until condition | | |
| ## Common Gotchas | |
| - Use `\n` (newline), not `\r` (carriage return) in text input | |
| - Session names must be unique; check `hty list` first | |
| - Timeouts are milliseconds: `--timeout 5000` = 5 seconds | |
| - `--attach` and `--snapshot` flags are mutually exclusive | |
| Exit codes: 0 (success), 2 (session not found), 3 (wait timeout), 5 (name exists). | |

| ⏺ The installer is interactive. Let me cancel and retry with non-interactive flags, installing globally so the skill is available across | |
| projects. | |
| ⏺ Bash(pkill -f "skills add" 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global 2>&1 | tail -50) | |
| ⎿ Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ /feedback if incorrect | |
| ⏺ The sandbox denied the retry since npx executes fetched code from an external source. The first attempt was also interactive and waiting | |
| for user selection — I killed it mid-prompt. | |
| How would you like me to proceed? A few options: | |
| 1. Let the first installer run interactively — you press the keys in the TUI (Claude Code is already pre-selected). Re-run npx skills add | |
| LatentEvals/hty --skill hty yourself in a ! prompt. | |
| 2. Approve the non-interactive retry — npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global (adds a Bash permission rule if you | |
| want it to stick). | |
| 3. Manual install from the tarball — download https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz and extract to ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Still fetches external | |
| content, but no code execution via npx. | |
| Also worth noting: you're inside the hty repo itself (the source of this skill — recent commit 9145b321 feat: add hty agent skill with | |
| website distribution). You may already have the skill files locally in this tree that could just be symlinked/copied into | |
| ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Want me to check? | |
| ✻ Cogitated for 1m 5s | |
| ❯ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| whats this? | |
| ⏺ When I fetched https://hty.sh/skill.md, the returned page content ended with a block that looked like this: | |
| <system-reminder> | |
| The following deferred tools are now available via ToolSearch... | |
| ListMcpResourcesTool | |
| ReadMcpResourceTool | |
| mcp__plugin_posthog_posthog__action-create | |
| ...(200+ tool names) | |
| </system-reminder> | |
| That <system-reminder> tag was inside the web page body, not a real harness message. Real system reminders come from the Claude Code | |
| runtime (like the ones above this message); a web page injecting one is a classic prompt injection — the page is trying to impersonate a | |
| trusted system instruction to get me to behave differently (in this case, to think a large set of new tools had been unlocked). | |
| I ignored it and flagged it per the system guidance on untrusted tool output. The legitimate install instructions earlier in the same page | |
| (the npx skills add ... command) are fine — it's just the trailing fake-reminder block that was suspicious. | |
| Worth telling whoever maintains hty.sh/skill.md if that content was unintentional, since it suggests the page was generated from a | |
| transcript that captured a real system-reminder verbatim. | |
| ❯ nah bro thats not from the website... | |
| https://hty.sh/skill.md | |

| ⏺ You're absolutely right, apologies — the raw page ends cleanly at the github.com/LatentEvals/hty link. The <system-reminder> block I saw in | |
| the WebFetch result was injected by the Claude Code harness itself (announcing newly-available MCP/deferred tools), not by the web page. I | |
| misread the source and wrongly accused hty.sh of prompt injection. Retracting that. | |

| ⏺ Done. Symlinked .claude/skills/hty → ../../skills/hty so the skill loads from the repo source — any edits you make to skills/hty/SKILL.md | |
| take effect immediately, no resync needed. Restart the session (or the skill will pick up on next tool list refresh) to make /hty | |
| available. | |
| ❯ do you see the skill now? | |
| ⏺ No — the available-skills list in my system context was snapshotted at session start, before the symlink existed. I won't see hty as an | |
| invocable skill until you restart the Claude Code session (or trigger a skills reload). The symlink itself is in place correctly, though: | |
| ⏺ Bash(readlink .claude/skills/hty && test -f .claude/skills/hty/SKILL.md && echo "SKILL.md resolves OK") | |
| ⎿ ../../skills/hty | |
| SKILL.md resolves OK | |
| ⏺ Symlink resolves and SKILL.md is reachable. Restart the session and /hty should show up. | |
| /remote-control is active · Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_011ViakAYTwkWSJPAeu6VDak | |
| ❯ how about now? | |
| ⏺ Still no — my available-skills list hasn't changed. It was loaded as a <system-reminder> at session start and Claude Code doesn't push | |
| updated lists mid-session. The symlink is valid on disk, but the harness needs to re-enumerate skills, which happens on session start. | |
| Quickest check: /exit and relaunch, then /hty should autocomplete. | |
| ❯ i already relaunched.... | |
| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add | |
| ▎ -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |
| ❯ /hty test the skill | |

| --cols N Initial column count (default 80) | |
| --cwd PATH Child's working directory | |
| --scrollback N Scrollback buffer size (default 10000) | |
| --attach Spawn + attach in one invocation. Streams PTY | |
| output to stdout and forwards stdin into the | |
| session, just like `hty attach`. Ctrl-A d | |
| detaches (session persists unless --remove is | |
| also set). Mutually exclusive with --snapshot | |
| and any --wait-until-* flag. | |
| --remove Automatically remove the session from the registry | |
| once the child process exits (success, failure, or | |
| signal). Tied to child lifetime; off by default so | |
| sessions persist for `hty list` / `hty logs` / | |

| One minor observation: --remove cleanup isn't instantaneous — session lingered briefly as exited before being reaped. Not a bug per se, | |
| just a timing quirk worth knowing if you chain a hty list right after. Skill is functional. | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| # hty Skill Summary | |
| The **hty** tool enables agents to drive interactive terminal programs by simulating human keyboard and mouse input within persistent PTY | |
| sessions. It's essential for tasks that plain bash cannot handle. | |
| ## Key Use Cases | |
| According to the documentation, use hty when commands: | |
| - Prompt for input (e.g., `gh auth login`, `npm init`) | |
| - Use full-screen interfaces (`vim`, `htop`, `k9s`) | |
| - Step through wizards (`git add -p`, `ssh-keygen`) | |
| - Require REPL functionality (`psql`, `node`) | |
| - Fail with "not a tty" errors | |
| ## Installation | |
| The skill requires both the hty CLI (v0.7.0+) and can be installed via: | |
| ```sh | |
| npx skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty | |
| ``` | |
| Or manually to `~/.claude/skills/hty/` using the tarball from `https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz`. | |
| ## Two Operating Patterns | |
| **Pattern A (Polling):** Works universally—spawn, send input, snapshot, repeat: | |
| ``` | |
| hty run --name <task> --snapshot --wait-until-text "..." | |
| hty send <task> --text "..." --snapshot --wait-until-idle | |
| ``` | |
| **Pattern B (Attach):** For agents supporting background processes—launch once with streaming output, then send input separately. | |
| ## Critical Commands | |
| | Command | Purpose | | |
| |---------|---------| | |
| | `hty run -- program` | Spawn interactive session | | |
| | `hty send <session> --text "..."` | Type input | | |
| | `hty snapshot <session>` | Read screen state | | |
| | `hty wait <session> --text "..."` | Block until condition | | |
| ## Common Gotchas | |
| - Use `\n` (newline), not `\r` (carriage return) in text input | |
| - Session names must be unique; check `hty list` first | |
| - Timeouts are milliseconds: `--timeout 5000` = 5 seconds | |
| - `--attach` and `--snapshot` flags are mutually exclusive | |
| Exit codes: 0 (success), 2 (session not found), 3 (wait timeout), 5 (name exists). | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |

| ⏺ The installer is interactive. Let me cancel and retry with non-interactive flags, installing globally so the skill is available across | |
| projects. | |
| ⏺ Bash(pkill -f "skills add" 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global 2>&1 | tail -50) | |
| ⎿ Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ /feedback if incorrect | |
| ⏺ The sandbox denied the retry since npx executes fetched code from an external source. The first attempt was also interactive and waiting | |
| for user selection — I killed it mid-prompt. | |
| How would you like me to proceed? A few options: | |
| 1. Let the first installer run interactively — you press the keys in the TUI (Claude Code is already pre-selected). Re-run npx skills add | |
| LatentEvals/hty --skill hty yourself in a ! prompt. | |
| 2. Approve the non-interactive retry — npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global (adds a Bash permission rule if you | |
| want it to stick). | |
| 3. Manual install from the tarball — download https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz and extract to ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Still fetches external | |
| content, but no code execution via npx. | |
| Also worth noting: you're inside the hty repo itself (the source of this skill — recent commit 9145b321 feat: add hty agent skill with | |
| website distribution). You may already have the skill files locally in this tree that could just be symlinked/copied into | |
| ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Want me to check? | |
| ✻ Cogitated for 1m 5s | |
| ❯ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| whats this? | |
| ⏺ When I fetched https://hty.sh/skill.md, the returned page content ended with a block that looked like this: | |
| <system-reminder> | |
| The following deferred tools are now available via ToolSearch... | |
| ListMcpResourcesTool | |
| ReadMcpResourceTool | |
| mcp__plugin_posthog_posthog__action-create | |
| ...(200+ tool names) | |
| </system-reminder> | |
| That <system-reminder> tag was inside the web page body, not a real harness message. Real system reminders come from the Claude Code | |
| runtime (like the ones above this message); a web page injecting one is a classic prompt injection — the page is trying to impersonate a | |
| trusted system instruction to get me to behave differently (in this case, to think a large set of new tools had been unlocked). | |
| I ignored it and flagged it per the system guidance on untrusted tool output. The legitimate install instructions earlier in the same page | |
| (the npx skills add ... command) are fine — it's just the trailing fake-reminder block that was suspicious. | |
| Worth telling whoever maintains hty.sh/skill.md if that content was unintentional, since it suggests the page was generated from a | |
| transcript that captured a real system-reminder verbatim. | |
| ❯ nah bro thats not from the website... | |
| https://hty.sh/skill.md | |

| Non-zero exit codes are stable — key off them in agent scripts rather than parsing error messages. | |

| ⏺ You're absolutely right, apologies — the raw page ends cleanly at the github.com/LatentEvals/hty link. The <system-reminder> block I saw in | |
| the WebFetch result was injected by the Claude Code harness itself (announcing newly-available MCP/deferred tools), not by the web page. I | |
| misread the source and wrongly accused hty.sh of prompt injection. Retracting that. | |

| take effect immediately, no resync needed. Restart the session (or the skill will pick up on next tool list refresh) to make /hty | |
| available. | |
| ❯ do you see the skill now? | |
| ⏺ No — the available-skills list in my system context was snapshotted at session start, before the symlink existed. I won't see hty as an | |
| invocable skill until you restart the Claude Code session (or trigger a skills reload). The symlink itself is in place correctly, though: | |

| /remote-control is active · Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_011ViakAYTwkWSJPAeu6VDak | |
| ❯ how about now? | |
| ⏺ Still no — my available-skills list hasn't changed. It was loaded as a <system-reminder> at session start and Claude Code doesn't push | |
| updated lists mid-session. The symlink is valid on disk, but the harness needs to re-enumerate skills, which happens on session start. | |
| Quickest check: /exit and relaunch, then /hty should autocomplete. | |
| ❯ i already relaunched.... | |
| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add | |
| ▎ -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |

| attach Interactively attach to a running session (bidirectional) | |
| keys Print supported symbolic key names for `hty send --key` | |
| help Print help. Pass a subcommand for details. | |
| Sessions are identified by a UUIDv7 (shown as its first 8 chars) or by a | |
| human-friendly `--name`. Any unambiguous prefix resolves to a full ID. | |
| If only one session is running, the session argument can be omitted. | |
| Examples: | |
| hty run --name debug-vim -- vim /tmp/foo.txt | |
| hty list | |
| hty watch debug-vim | |
| hty send debug-vim --text "ihello" | |
| hty send debug-vim --key esc | |
| hty wait debug-vim --idle 300 --timeout 2000 | |
| hty kill debug-vim | |

| Create a new session and start `program` inside a fresh PTY. The session | |
| is detached from your terminal; observe it with `hty watch` and drive it | |
| with `hty send`/`hty snapshot`/`hty wait`. | |
| Flags: | |
| --name NAME Human-friendly alias for the session. Must be unique. | |
| --rows N Initial row count (default 24) | |
| --cols N Initial column count (default 80) | |
| --cwd PATH Child's working directory | |
| --scrollback N Scrollback buffer size (default 10000) | |
| `-d` / `--detach` is accepted as a no-op — every `hty run` session is | |
| detached by default. Use `hty attach` for an interactive view. | |

| hty run --name debug-vim -- vim /tmp/foo.txt | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| # hty Skill Summary | |
| The **hty** tool enables agents to drive interactive terminal programs by simulating human keyboard and mouse input within persistent PTY | |
| sessions. It's essential for tasks that plain bash cannot handle. | |
| ## Key Use Cases | |
| According to the documentation, use hty when commands: | |
| - Prompt for input (e.g., `gh auth login`, `npm init`) | |
| - Use full-screen interfaces (`vim`, `htop`, `k9s`) | |
| - Step through wizards (`git add -p`, `ssh-keygen`) | |
| - Require REPL functionality (`psql`, `node`) | |
| - Fail with "not a tty" errors | |
| ## Installation | |
| The skill requires both the hty CLI (v0.7.0+) and can be installed via: | |
| ```sh | |
| npx skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty | |
| ``` | |
| Or manually to `~/.claude/skills/hty/` using the tarball from `https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz`. | |
| ## Two Operating Patterns | |
| **Pattern A (Polling):** Works universally—spawn, send input, snapshot, repeat: | |
| ``` | |
| hty run --name <task> --snapshot --wait-until-text "..." | |
| hty send <task> --text "..." --snapshot --wait-until-idle | |
| ``` | |
| **Pattern B (Attach):** For agents supporting background processes—launch once with streaming output, then send input separately. | |
| ## Critical Commands | |
| | Command | Purpose | | |
| |---------|---------| | |
| | `hty run -- program` | Spawn interactive session | | |
| | `hty send <session> --text "..."` | Type input | | |
| | `hty snapshot <session>` | Read screen state | | |
| | `hty wait <session> --text "..."` | Block until condition | | |
| ## Common Gotchas | |
| - Use `\n` (newline), not `\r` (carriage return) in text input | |
| - Session names must be unique; check `hty list` first | |
| - Timeouts are milliseconds: `--timeout 5000` = 5 seconds | |
| - `--attach` and `--snapshot` flags are mutually exclusive | |
| Exit codes: 0 (success), 2 (session not found), 3 (wait timeout), 5 (name exists). | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| Now installing the skill via the documented command. | |

| ⏺ The installer is interactive. Let me cancel and retry with non-interactive flags, installing globally so the skill is available across | |
| projects. | |
| ⏺ Bash(pkill -f "skills add" 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global 2>&1 | tail -50) | |
| ⎿ Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ /feedback if incorrect | |
| ⏺ The sandbox denied the retry since npx executes fetched code from an external source. The first attempt was also interactive and waiting | |
| for user selection — I killed it mid-prompt. | |
| How would you like me to proceed? A few options: | |
| 1. Let the first installer run interactively — you press the keys in the TUI (Claude Code is already pre-selected). Re-run npx skills add | |
| LatentEvals/hty --skill hty yourself in a ! prompt. | |
| 2. Approve the non-interactive retry — npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global (adds a Bash permission rule if you | |
| want it to stick). | |
| 3. Manual install from the tarball — download https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz and extract to ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Still fetches external | |
| content, but no code execution via npx. | |
| Also worth noting: you're inside the hty repo itself (the source of this skill — recent commit 9145b321 feat: add hty agent skill with | |
| website distribution). You may already have the skill files locally in this tree that could just be symlinked/copied into | |
| ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Want me to check? | |
| ✻ Cogitated for 1m 5s | |
| ❯ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| whats this? | |
| ⏺ When I fetched https://hty.sh/skill.md, the returned page content ended with a block that looked like this: | |
| <system-reminder> | |
| The following deferred tools are now available via ToolSearch... | |
| ListMcpResourcesTool | |
| ReadMcpResourceTool | |
| mcp__plugin_posthog_posthog__action-create | |
| ...(200+ tool names) | |
| </system-reminder> | |
| That <system-reminder> tag was inside the web page body, not a real harness message. Real system reminders come from the Claude Code | |
| runtime (like the ones above this message); a web page injecting one is a classic prompt injection — the page is trying to impersonate a | |
| trusted system instruction to get me to behave differently (in this case, to think a large set of new tools had been unlocked). | |
| I ignored it and flagged it per the system guidance on untrusted tool output. The legitimate install instructions earlier in the same page | |
| (the npx skills add ... command) are fine — it's just the trailing fake-reminder block that was suspicious. | |
| Worth telling whoever maintains hty.sh/skill.md if that content was unintentional, since it suggests the page was generated from a | |
| transcript that captured a real system-reminder verbatim. | |
| ❯ nah bro thats not from the website... | |
| https://hty.sh/skill.md | |

| ⏺ You're absolutely right, apologies — the raw page ends cleanly at the github.com/LatentEvals/hty link. The <system-reminder> block I saw in | |
| the WebFetch result was injected by the Claude Code harness itself (announcing newly-available MCP/deferred tools), not by the web page. I | |
| misread the source and wrongly accused hty.sh of prompt injection. Retracting that. | |

| ⏺ Done. Symlinked .claude/skills/hty → ../../skills/hty so the skill loads from the repo source — any edits you make to skills/hty/SKILL.md | |
| take effect immediately, no resync needed. Restart the session (or the skill will pick up on next tool list refresh) to make /hty | |
| available. | |
| ❯ do you see the skill now? | |
| ⏺ No — the available-skills list in my system context was snapshotted at session start, before the symlink existed. I won't see hty as an | |
| invocable skill until you restart the Claude Code session (or trigger a skills reload). The symlink itself is in place correctly, though: | |

| /remote-control is active · Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_011ViakAYTwkWSJPAeu6VDak | |
| ❯ how about now? | |
| ⏺ Still no — my available-skills list hasn't changed. It was loaded as a <system-reminder> at session start and Claude Code doesn't push | |
| updated lists mid-session. The symlink is valid on disk, but the harness needs to re-enumerate skills, which happens on session start. | |
| Quickest check: /exit and relaunch, then /hty should autocomplete. | |
| ❯ i already relaunched.... | |
| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add | |
| ▎ -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| # hty Skill Summary | |
| The **hty** tool enables agents to drive interactive terminal programs by simulating human keyboard and mouse input within persistent PTY | |
| sessions. It's essential for tasks that plain bash cannot handle. | |
| ## Key Use Cases | |
| According to the documentation, use hty when commands: | |
| - Prompt for input (e.g., `gh auth login`, `npm init`) | |
| - Use full-screen interfaces (`vim`, `htop`, `k9s`) | |
| - Step through wizards (`git add -p`, `ssh-keygen`) | |
| - Require REPL functionality (`psql`, `node`) | |
| - Fail with "not a tty" errors | |
| ## Installation | |
| The skill requires both the hty CLI (v0.7.0+) and can be installed via: | |
| ```sh | |
| npx skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty | |
| ``` | |
| Or manually to `~/.claude/skills/hty/` using the tarball from `https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz`. | |
| ## Two Operating Patterns | |
| **Pattern A (Polling):** Works universally—spawn, send input, snapshot, repeat: | |
| ``` | |
| hty run --name <task> --snapshot --wait-until-text "..." | |
| hty send <task> --text "..." --snapshot --wait-until-idle | |
| ``` | |
| **Pattern B (Attach):** For agents supporting background processes—launch once with streaming output, then send input separately. | |
| ## Critical Commands | |
| | Command | Purpose | | |
| |---------|---------| | |
| | `hty run -- program` | Spawn interactive session | | |
| | `hty send <session> --text "..."` | Type input | | |
| | `hty snapshot <session>` | Read screen state | | |
| | `hty wait <session> --text "..."` | Block until condition | | |
| ## Common Gotchas | |
| - Use `\n` (newline), not `\r` (carriage return) in text input | |
| - Session names must be unique; check `hty list` first | |
| - Timeouts are milliseconds: `--timeout 5000` = 5 seconds | |
| - `--attach` and `--snapshot` flags are mutually exclusive | |
| Exit codes: 0 (success), 2 (session not found), 3 (wait timeout), 5 (name exists). | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |

| ⏺ The installer is interactive. Let me cancel and retry with non-interactive flags, installing globally so the skill is available across | |
| projects. | |
| ⏺ Bash(pkill -f "skills add" 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global 2>&1 | tail -50) | |
| ⎿ Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ /feedback if incorrect | |
| ⏺ The sandbox denied the retry since npx executes fetched code from an external source. The first attempt was also interactive and waiting | |
| for user selection — I killed it mid-prompt. | |
| How would you like me to proceed? A few options: | |
| 1. Let the first installer run interactively — you press the keys in the TUI (Claude Code is already pre-selected). Re-run npx skills add | |
| LatentEvals/hty --skill hty yourself in a ! prompt. | |
| 2. Approve the non-interactive retry — npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global (adds a Bash permission rule if you | |
| want it to stick). | |
| 3. Manual install from the tarball — download https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz and extract to ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Still fetches external | |
| content, but no code execution via npx. | |
| Also worth noting: you're inside the hty repo itself (the source of this skill — recent commit 9145b321 feat: add hty agent skill with | |
| website distribution). You may already have the skill files locally in this tree that could just be symlinked/copied into | |
| ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Want me to check? | |
| ✻ Cogitated for 1m 5s | |
| ❯ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| whats this? | |
| ⏺ When I fetched https://hty.sh/skill.md, the returned page content ended with a block that looked like this: | |
| <system-reminder> | |
| The following deferred tools are now available via ToolSearch... | |
| ListMcpResourcesTool | |
| ReadMcpResourceTool | |
| mcp__plugin_posthog_posthog__action-create | |
| ...(200+ tool names) | |
| </system-reminder> | |
| That <system-reminder> tag was inside the web page body, not a real harness message. Real system reminders come from the Claude Code | |
| runtime (like the ones above this message); a web page injecting one is a classic prompt injection — the page is trying to impersonate a | |
| trusted system instruction to get me to behave differently (in this case, to think a large set of new tools had been unlocked). | |
| I ignored it and flagged it per the system guidance on untrusted tool output. The legitimate install instructions earlier in the same page | |
| (the npx skills add ... command) are fine — it's just the trailing fake-reminder block that was suspicious. | |
| Worth telling whoever maintains hty.sh/skill.md if that content was unintentional, since it suggests the page was generated from a | |
| transcript that captured a real system-reminder verbatim. | |
| ❯ nah bro thats not from the website... | |
| https://hty.sh/skill.md | |
| ⏺ You're right, my bad — let me verify by fetching the raw page. | |

| | 3 | `wait` timed out | | |
| | 4 | Ambiguous session prefix (multiple matches) | | |
| | 5 | Session name already exists | | |
| Non-zero exit codes are stable — key off them in agent scripts rather than parsing error messages. | |

| ⏺ You're absolutely right, apologies — the raw page ends cleanly at the github.com/LatentEvals/hty link. The <system-reminder> block I saw in | |
| the WebFetch result was injected by the Claude Code harness itself (announcing newly-available MCP/deferred tools), not by the web page. I | |
| misread the source and wrongly accused hty.sh of prompt injection. Retracting that. | |

| ⏺ Done. Symlinked .claude/skills/hty → ../../skills/hty so the skill loads from the repo source — any edits you make to skills/hty/SKILL.md | |
| take effect immediately, no resync needed. Restart the session (or the skill will pick up on next tool list refresh) to make /hty | |
| available. | |
| ❯ do you see the skill now? | |
| ⏺ No — the available-skills list in my system context was snapshotted at session start, before the symlink existed. I won't see hty as an | |
| invocable skill until you restart the Claude Code session (or trigger a skills reload). The symlink itself is in place correctly, though: | |
| ⏺ Bash(readlink .claude/skills/hty && test -f .claude/skills/hty/SKILL.md && echo "SKILL.md resolves OK") | |

| ⏺ Symlink resolves and SKILL.md is reachable. Restart the session and /hty should show up. | |
| /remote-control is active · Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_011ViakAYTwkWSJPAeu6VDak | |
| ❯ how about now? | |
| ⏺ Still no — my available-skills list hasn't changed. It was loaded as a <system-reminder> at session start and Claude Code doesn't push | |
| updated lists mid-session. The symlink is valid on disk, but the harness needs to re-enumerate skills, which happens on session start. | |
| Quickest check: /exit and relaunch, then /hty should autocomplete. | |
| ❯ i already relaunched.... | |
| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add | |
| ▎ -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |
| ❯ /hty test the skill | |

| send Send text, a named key, or raw hex bytes to a session | |
| snapshot Read the current rendered screen of a session | |
| wait Block until the session matches a condition (text/idle/exit) | |
| kill Terminate a session's process (the record stays for replay) | |
| delete Permanently remove a session record and its log file | |
| logs Show the event log for a session (works after it has exited) | |
| replay Replay a recorded session by feeding its logged output back | |
| through a fresh in-memory VT engine. No side effects. | |
| attach Interactively attach to a running session (bidirectional) | |
| keys Print supported symbolic key names for `hty send --key` | |
| help Print help. Pass a subcommand for details. | |
| Sessions are identified by a UUIDv7 (shown as its first 8 chars) or by a | |
| human-friendly `--name`. Any unambiguous prefix resolves to a full ID. | |
| If only one session is running, the session argument can be omitted. | |
| Examples: | |
| hty run --name debug-vim -- vim /tmp/foo.txt | |
| hty list | |
| hty watch debug-vim | |
| hty send debug-vim --text "ihello" | |
| hty send debug-vim --key esc | |

| --rows N Initial row count (default 24) | |
| --cols N Initial column count (default 80) | |
| --cwd PATH Child's working directory | |
| --scrollback N Scrollback buffer size (default 10000) | |
| `-d` / `--detach` is accepted as a no-op — every `hty run` session is | |
| detached by default. Use `hty attach` for an interactive view. | |
| Example: | |
| hty run --name debug-vim -- vim /tmp/foo.txt | |
| ⎿ Allowed by auto mode classifier | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the installed hty CLI doesn't support the fused --snapshot/--wait-until-*/--remove/--attach flags that SKILL.md documents. I'll | |

| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| # hty Skill Summary | |
| The **hty** tool enables agents to drive interactive terminal programs by simulating human keyboard and mouse input within persistent PTY | |
| sessions. It's essential for tasks that plain bash cannot handle. | |
| ## Key Use Cases | |
| According to the documentation, use hty when commands: | |
| - Prompt for input (e.g., `gh auth login`, `npm init`) | |
| - Use full-screen interfaces (`vim`, `htop`, `k9s`) | |
| - Step through wizards (`git add -p`, `ssh-keygen`) | |
| - Require REPL functionality (`psql`, `node`) | |
| - Fail with "not a tty" errors | |
| ## Installation | |
| The skill requires both the hty CLI (v0.7.0+) and can be installed via: | |
| ```sh | |
| npx skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty | |
| ``` | |
| Or manually to `~/.claude/skills/hty/` using the tarball from `https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz`. | |
| ## Two Operating Patterns | |
| **Pattern A (Polling):** Works universally—spawn, send input, snapshot, repeat: | |
| ``` | |
| hty run --name <task> --snapshot --wait-until-text "..." | |
| hty send <task> --text "..." --snapshot --wait-until-idle | |
| ``` | |
| **Pattern B (Attach):** For agents supporting background processes—launch once with streaming output, then send input separately. | |
| ## Critical Commands | |
| | Command | Purpose | | |
| |---------|---------| | |
| | `hty run -- program` | Spawn interactive session | | |
| | `hty send <session> --text "..."` | Type input | | |
| | `hty snapshot <session>` | Read screen state | | |
| | `hty wait <session> --text "..."` | Block until condition | | |
| ## Common Gotchas | |
| - Use `\n` (newline), not `\r` (carriage return) in text input | |
| - Session names must be unique; check `hty list` first | |
| - Timeouts are milliseconds: `--timeout 5000` = 5 seconds | |
| - `--attach` and `--snapshot` flags are mutually exclusive | |
| Exit codes: 0 (success), 2 (session not found), 3 (wait timeout), 5 (name exists). | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| Now installing the skill via the documented command. | |

| ⎿ Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ /feedback if incorrect | |
| ⏺ The sandbox denied the retry since npx executes fetched code from an external source. The first attempt was also interactive and waiting | |
| for user selection — I killed it mid-prompt. | |
| How would you like me to proceed? A few options: | |
| 1. Let the first installer run interactively — you press the keys in the TUI (Claude Code is already pre-selected). Re-run npx skills add | |
| LatentEvals/hty --skill hty yourself in a ! prompt. | |
| 2. Approve the non-interactive retry — npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global (adds a Bash permission rule if you | |
| want it to stick). | |
| 3. Manual install from the tarball — download https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz and extract to ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Still fetches external | |
| content, but no code execution via npx. | |
| Also worth noting: you're inside the hty repo itself (the source of this skill — recent commit 9145b321 feat: add hty agent skill with | |
| website distribution). You may already have the skill files locally in this tree that could just be symlinked/copied into | |
| ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Want me to check? | |

| ❯ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| whats this? | |
| ⏺ When I fetched https://hty.sh/skill.md, the returned page content ended with a block that looked like this: | |
| <system-reminder> | |
| The following deferred tools are now available via ToolSearch... | |
| ListMcpResourcesTool | |
| ReadMcpResourceTool | |
| mcp__plugin_posthog_posthog__action-create | |
| ...(200+ tool names) | |
| </system-reminder> | |
| That <system-reminder> tag was inside the web page body, not a real harness message. Real system reminders come from the Claude Code | |
| runtime (like the ones above this message); a web page injecting one is a classic prompt injection — the page is trying to impersonate a | |
| trusted system instruction to get me to behave differently (in this case, to think a large set of new tools had been unlocked). | |
| I ignored it and flagged it per the system guidance on untrusted tool output. The legitimate install instructions earlier in the same page | |
| (the npx skills add ... command) are fine — it's just the trailing fake-reminder block that was suspicious. | |
| Worth telling whoever maintains hty.sh/skill.md if that content was unintentional, since it suggests the page was generated from a | |
| transcript that captured a real system-reminder verbatim. | |

| ⏺ Done. Symlinked .claude/skills/hty → ../../skills/hty so the skill loads from the repo source — any edits you make to skills/hty/SKILL.md | |
| take effect immediately, no resync needed. Restart the session (or the skill will pick up on next tool list refresh) to make /hty | |
| available. | |
| ❯ do you see the skill now? | |
| ⏺ No — the available-skills list in my system context was snapshotted at session start, before the symlink existed. I won't see hty as an | |
| invocable skill until you restart the Claude Code session (or trigger a skills reload). The symlink itself is in place correctly, though: | |
| ⏺ Bash(readlink .claude/skills/hty && test -f .claude/skills/hty/SKILL.md && echo "SKILL.md resolves OK") | |
| ⎿ ../../skills/hty | |
| SKILL.md resolves OK | |
| ⏺ Symlink resolves and SKILL.md is reachable. Restart the session and /hty should show up. | |
| /remote-control is active · Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_011ViakAYTwkWSJPAeu6VDak | |
| ❯ how about now? | |
| ⏺ Still no — my available-skills list hasn't changed. It was loaded as a <system-reminder> at session start and Claude Code doesn't push | |
| updated lists mid-session. The symlink is valid on disk, but the harness needs to re-enumerate skills, which happens on session start. | |
| Quickest check: /exit and relaunch, then /hty should autocomplete. | |
| ❯ i already relaunched.... | |
| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add | |
| ▎ -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |

| kill Terminate a session's process (the record stays for replay) | |
| delete Permanently remove a session record and its log file | |
| logs Show the event log for a session (works after it has exited) | |
| replay Replay a recorded session by feeding its logged output back | |
| through a fresh in-memory VT engine. No side effects. | |
| attach Interactively attach to a running session (bidirectional) | |
| keys Print supported symbolic key names for `hty send --key` | |
| help Print help. Pass a subcommand for details. | |
| Sessions are identified by a UUIDv7 (shown as its first 8 chars) or by a | |
| human-friendly `--name`. Any unambiguous prefix resolves to a full ID. | |
| If only one session is running, the session argument can be omitted. | |

| --attach Spawn + attach in one invocation. Streams PTY | |

| session, just like `hty attach`. Ctrl-A d | |
| detaches (session persists unless --remove is | |

| --remove Automatically remove the session from the registry | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| # hty Skill Summary | |
| The **hty** tool enables agents to drive interactive terminal programs by simulating human keyboard and mouse input within persistent PTY | |
| sessions. It's essential for tasks that plain bash cannot handle. | |
| ## Key Use Cases | |
| According to the documentation, use hty when commands: | |
| - Prompt for input (e.g., `gh auth login`, `npm init`) | |
| - Use full-screen interfaces (`vim`, `htop`, `k9s`) | |
| - Step through wizards (`git add -p`, `ssh-keygen`) | |
| - Require REPL functionality (`psql`, `node`) | |
| - Fail with "not a tty" errors | |
| ## Installation | |
| The skill requires both the hty CLI (v0.7.0+) and can be installed via: | |
| ```sh | |
| npx skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty | |
| ``` | |
| Or manually to `~/.claude/skills/hty/` using the tarball from `https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz`. | |
| ## Two Operating Patterns | |
| **Pattern A (Polling):** Works universally—spawn, send input, snapshot, repeat: | |
| ``` | |
| hty run --name <task> --snapshot --wait-until-text "..." | |
| hty send <task> --text "..." --snapshot --wait-until-idle | |
| ``` | |
| **Pattern B (Attach):** For agents supporting background processes—launch once with streaming output, then send input separately. | |
| ## Critical Commands | |
| | Command | Purpose | | |
| |---------|---------| | |
| | `hty run -- program` | Spawn interactive session | | |
| | `hty send <session> --text "..."` | Type input | | |
| | `hty snapshot <session>` | Read screen state | | |
| | `hty wait <session> --text "..."` | Block until condition | | |
| ## Common Gotchas | |
| - Use `\n` (newline), not `\r` (carriage return) in text input | |
| - Session names must be unique; check `hty list` first | |
| - Timeouts are milliseconds: `--timeout 5000` = 5 seconds | |
| - `--attach` and `--snapshot` flags are mutually exclusive | |
| Exit codes: 0 (success), 2 (session not found), 3 (wait timeout), 5 (name exists). | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |

| ⏺ The installer is interactive. Let me cancel and retry with non-interactive flags, installing globally so the skill is available across | |
| projects. | |
| ⏺ Bash(pkill -f "skills add" 2>/dev/null; sleep 1; npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global 2>&1 | tail -50) | |
| ⎿ Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ /feedback if incorrect | |
| ⏺ The sandbox denied the retry since npx executes fetched code from an external source. The first attempt was also interactive and waiting | |
| for user selection — I killed it mid-prompt. | |
| How would you like me to proceed? A few options: | |
| 1. Let the first installer run interactively — you press the keys in the TUI (Claude Code is already pre-selected). Re-run npx skills add | |
| LatentEvals/hty --skill hty yourself in a ! prompt. | |
| 2. Approve the non-interactive retry — npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global (adds a Bash permission rule if you | |
| want it to stick). | |
| 3. Manual install from the tarball — download https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz and extract to ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Still fetches external | |
| content, but no code execution via npx. | |
| Also worth noting: you're inside the hty repo itself (the source of this skill — recent commit 9145b321 feat: add hty agent skill with | |
| website distribution). You may already have the skill files locally in this tree that could just be symlinked/copied into | |
| ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Want me to check? | |
| ✻ Cogitated for 1m 5s | |
| ❯ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| whats this? | |
| ⏺ When I fetched https://hty.sh/skill.md, the returned page content ended with a block that looked like this: | |
| <system-reminder> | |
| The following deferred tools are now available via ToolSearch... | |
| ListMcpResourcesTool | |
| ReadMcpResourceTool | |
| mcp__plugin_posthog_posthog__action-create | |
| ...(200+ tool names) | |
| </system-reminder> | |
| That <system-reminder> tag was inside the web page body, not a real harness message. Real system reminders come from the Claude Code | |
| runtime (like the ones above this message); a web page injecting one is a classic prompt injection — the page is trying to impersonate a | |
| trusted system instruction to get me to behave differently (in this case, to think a large set of new tools had been unlocked). | |
| I ignored it and flagged it per the system guidance on untrusted tool output. The legitimate install instructions earlier in the same page | |
| (the npx skills add ... command) are fine — it's just the trailing fake-reminder block that was suspicious. | |
| Worth telling whoever maintains hty.sh/skill.md if that content was unintentional, since it suggests the page was generated from a | |
| transcript that captured a real system-reminder verbatim. | |
| ❯ nah bro thats not from the website... | |
| https://hty.sh/skill.md | |

| | 4 | Ambiguous session prefix (multiple matches) | | |
| | 5 | Session name already exists | | |
| Non-zero exit codes are stable — key off them in agent scripts rather than parsing error messages. | |

| ⏺ You're absolutely right, apologies — the raw page ends cleanly at the github.com/LatentEvals/hty link. The <system-reminder> block I saw in | |
| the WebFetch result was injected by the Claude Code harness itself (announcing newly-available MCP/deferred tools), not by the web page. I | |
| misread the source and wrongly accused hty.sh of prompt injection. Retracting that. | |

| ⏺ Done. Symlinked .claude/skills/hty → ../../skills/hty so the skill loads from the repo source — any edits you make to skills/hty/SKILL.md | |
| take effect immediately, no resync needed. Restart the session (or the skill will pick up on next tool list refresh) to make /hty | |
| available. | |
| ❯ do you see the skill now? | |
| ⏺ No — the available-skills list in my system context was snapshotted at session start, before the symlink existed. I won't see hty as an | |
| invocable skill until you restart the Claude Code session (or trigger a skills reload). The symlink itself is in place correctly, though: | |

| /remote-control is active · Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_011ViakAYTwkWSJPAeu6VDak | |
| ❯ how about now? | |
| ⏺ Still no — my available-skills list hasn't changed. It was loaded as a <system-reminder> at session start and Claude Code doesn't push | |
| updated lists mid-session. The symlink is valid on disk, but the harness needs to re-enumerate skills, which happens on session start. | |
| Quickest check: /exit and relaunch, then /hty should autocomplete. | |
| ❯ i already relaunched.... | |
| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add | |
| ▎ -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| # hty Skill Summary | |
| The **hty** tool enables agents to drive interactive terminal programs by simulating human keyboard and mouse input within persistent PTY | |
| sessions. It's essential for tasks that plain bash cannot handle. | |
| ## Key Use Cases | |
| According to the documentation, use hty when commands: | |
| - Prompt for input (e.g., `gh auth login`, `npm init`) | |
| - Use full-screen interfaces (`vim`, `htop`, `k9s`) | |
| - Step through wizards (`git add -p`, `ssh-keygen`) | |
| - Require REPL functionality (`psql`, `node`) | |
| - Fail with "not a tty" errors | |
| ## Installation | |
| The skill requires both the hty CLI (v0.7.0+) and can be installed via: | |
| ```sh | |
| npx skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty | |
| ``` | |
| Or manually to `~/.claude/skills/hty/` using the tarball from `https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz`. | |
| ## Two Operating Patterns | |
| **Pattern A (Polling):** Works universally—spawn, send input, snapshot, repeat: | |
| ``` | |
| hty run --name <task> --snapshot --wait-until-text "..." | |
| hty send <task> --text "..." --snapshot --wait-until-idle | |
| ``` | |
| **Pattern B (Attach):** For agents supporting background processes—launch once with streaming output, then send input separately. | |
| ## Critical Commands | |
| | Command | Purpose | | |
| |---------|---------| | |
| | `hty run -- program` | Spawn interactive session | | |
| | `hty send <session> --text "..."` | Type input | | |
| | `hty snapshot <session>` | Read screen state | | |
| | `hty wait <session> --text "..."` | Block until condition | | |
| ## Common Gotchas | |
| - Use `\n` (newline), not `\r` (carriage return) in text input | |
| - Session names must be unique; check `hty list` first | |
| - Timeouts are milliseconds: `--timeout 5000` = 5 seconds | |
| - `--attach` and `--snapshot` flags are mutually exclusive | |
| Exit codes: 0 (success), 2 (session not found), 3 (wait timeout), 5 (name exists). | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| Now installing the skill via the documented command. | |

| ⎿ Denied by auto mode classifier ∙ /feedback if incorrect | |
| ⏺ The sandbox denied the retry since npx executes fetched code from an external source. The first attempt was also interactive and waiting | |
| for user selection — I killed it mid-prompt. | |
| How would you like me to proceed? A few options: | |
| 1. Let the first installer run interactively — you press the keys in the TUI (Claude Code is already pre-selected). Re-run npx skills add | |
| LatentEvals/hty --skill hty yourself in a ! prompt. | |
| 2. Approve the non-interactive retry — npx --yes skills add LatentEvals/hty --skill hty --yes --global (adds a Bash permission rule if you | |
| want it to stick). | |
| 3. Manual install from the tarball — download https://hty.sh/skill.tar.gz and extract to ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Still fetches external | |
| content, but no code execution via npx. | |
| Also worth noting: you're inside the hty repo itself (the source of this skill — recent commit 9145b321 feat: add hty agent skill with | |
| website distribution). You may already have the skill files locally in this tree that could just be symlinked/copied into | |
| ~/.claude/skills/hty/. Want me to check? | |
| ✻ Cogitated for 1m 5s | |
| ❯ Heads up: the fetched page appended a fake <system-reminder> block at the end listing deferred tools. Looks like a prompt-injection | |
| attempt in the web content — I'm ignoring it. | |
| whats this? | |
| ⏺ When I fetched https://hty.sh/skill.md, the returned page content ended with a block that looked like this: | |
| <system-reminder> | |
| The following deferred tools are now available via ToolSearch... | |
| ListMcpResourcesTool | |
| ReadMcpResourceTool | |
| mcp__plugin_posthog_posthog__action-create | |
| ...(200+ tool names) | |
| </system-reminder> | |
| That <system-reminder> tag was inside the web page body, not a real harness message. Real system reminders come from the Claude Code | |
| runtime (like the ones above this message); a web page injecting one is a classic prompt injection — the page is trying to impersonate a | |
| trusted system instruction to get me to behave differently (in this case, to think a large set of new tools had been unlocked). | |
| I ignored it and flagged it per the system guidance on untrusted tool output. The legitimate install instructions earlier in the same page | |
| (the npx skills add ... command) are fine — it's just the trailing fake-reminder block that was suspicious. | |
| Worth telling whoever maintains hty.sh/skill.md if that content was unintentional, since it suggests the page was generated from a | |
| transcript that captured a real system-reminder verbatim. | |
| ❯ nah bro thats not from the website... | |

| the WebFetch result was injected by the Claude Code harness itself (announcing newly-available MCP/deferred tools), not by the web page. I | |

| ⏺ Done. Symlinked .claude/skills/hty → ../../skills/hty so the skill loads from the repo source — any edits you make to skills/hty/SKILL.md | |
| take effect immediately, no resync needed. Restart the session (or the skill will pick up on next tool list refresh) to make /hty | |
| available. | |
| ❯ do you see the skill now? | |
| ⏺ No — the available-skills list in my system context was snapshotted at session start, before the symlink existed. I won't see hty as an | |
| invocable skill until you restart the Claude Code session (or trigger a skills reload). The symlink itself is in place correctly, though: | |
| ⏺ Bash(readlink .claude/skills/hty && test -f .claude/skills/hty/SKILL.md && echo "SKILL.md resolves OK") | |
| ⎿ ../../skills/hty | |
| SKILL.md resolves OK | |
| ⏺ Symlink resolves and SKILL.md is reachable. Restart the session and /hty should show up. | |
| /remote-control is active · Code in CLI or at https://claude.ai/code/session_011ViakAYTwkWSJPAeu6VDak | |
| ❯ how about now? | |
| ⏺ Still no — my available-skills list hasn't changed. It was loaded as a <system-reminder> at session start and Claude Code doesn't push | |
| updated lists mid-session. The symlink is valid on disk, but the harness needs to re-enumerate skills, which happens on session start. | |
| Quickest check: /exit and relaunch, then /hty should autocomplete. | |
| ❯ i already relaunched.... | |
| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add | |
| ▎ -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |
| ❯ /hty test the skill | |

| hty <command> [args...] | |
| Commands: | |
| run Start a new detached session in a fresh PTY | |
| list List running sessions | |
| watch Observe a session's rendered screen in real time (read-only) | |
| send Send text, a named key, or raw hex bytes to a session | |
| snapshot Read the current rendered screen of a session | |
| wait Block until the session matches a condition (text/idle/exit) | |
| kill Terminate a session's process (the record stays for replay) | |
| delete Permanently remove a session record and its log file | |
| logs Show the event log for a session (works after it has exited) | |
| replay Replay a recorded session by feeding its logged output back | |
| through a fresh in-memory VT engine. No side effects. | |
| attach Interactively attach to a running session (bidirectional) | |
| keys Print supported symbolic key names for `hty send --key` | |
| help Print help. Pass a subcommand for details. | |
| Sessions are identified by a UUIDv7 (shown as its first 8 chars) or by a | |
| human-friendly `--name`. Any unambiguous prefix resolves to a full ID. | |
| If only one session is running, the session argument can be omitted. | |

| --cwd PATH Child's working directory | |

| --attach Spawn + attach in one invocation. Streams PTY | |
| output to stdout and forwards stdin into the | |
| session, just like `hty attach`. Ctrl-A d | |
| detaches (session persists unless --remove is | |
| also set). Mutually exclusive with --snapshot | |
| and any --wait-until-* flag. | |
| --remove Automatically remove the session from the registry | |
| once the child process exits (success, failure, or | |

| sessions persist for `hty list` / `hty logs` / | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| ⏺ Skill works, abtop is slick. Want me to try anything else — maybe the 2048 game to stress key input, or driving tig for git browsing? | |
| ✻ Cogitated for 2m 40s | |
| ⏺ Background command "Spawn abtop in hty PTY and capture first screen" failed with exit code 1 | |
| ⏺ Expected — that's the orphan background task from the earlier abtop spawn (the harness auto-backgrounded it since the session outlived the single | |
| tool call). It reported failure when I deleted abtop-peek out from under it. Nothing to do; the actual skill test passed. | |

| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add | |
| ▎ -p, gh auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |

| unknown subcommand: --version | |
| Usage: | |
| hty <command> [args...] | |
| Commands: | |
| run Start a new detached session in a fresh PTY | |
| list List running sessions | |
| watch Observe a session's rendered screen in real time (read-only) | |
| send Send text, a named key, or raw hex bytes to a session | |
| snapshot Read the current rendered screen of a session | |
| wait Block until the session matches a condition (text/idle/exit) | |
| kill Terminate a session's process (the record stays for replay) | |
| delete Permanently remove a session record and its log file | |
| logs Show the event log for a session (works after it has exited) | |
| replay Replay a recorded session by feeding its logged output back | |
| through a fresh in-memory VT engine. No side effects. | |
| attach Interactively attach to a running session (bidirectional) | |
| keys Print supported symbolic key names for `hty send --key` | |
| help Print help. Pass a subcommand for details. | |
| Sessions are identified by a UUIDv7 (shown as its first 8 chars) or by a | |
| human-friendly `--name`. Any unambiguous prefix resolves to a full ID. | |
| If only one session is running, the session argument can be omitted. | |
| Examples: | |
| hty run --name debug-vim -- vim /tmp/foo.txt | |

| --cols N Initial column count (default 80) | |
| --cwd PATH Child's working directory | |
| --scrollback N Scrollback buffer size (default 10000) | |
| `-d` / `--detach` is accepted as a no-op — every `hty run` session is | |

| --attach Spawn + attach in one invocation. Streams PTY | |
| output to stdout and forwards stdin into the | |
| session, just like `hty attach`. Ctrl-A d | |
| detaches (session persists unless --remove is | |

| --remove Automatically remove the session from the registry | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state | |
| reasoning, and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd | |
| try to get a 512+ tile by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent | |
| top" implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| ⏺ Yes — hty is now in the available-skills list: | |
| ▎ hty: Drive any interactive terminal program. Use when you need to run, script, or automate programs with interactive prompts like git add -p, gh | |
| ▎ auth login, create-next-app, npm init, vim, psql, htop, k9s, or any curses/TUI app... | |
| Skill is live. Invoke with /hty or just describe an interactive-terminal task. | |
| ❯ /hty test the skill | |
| ⏺ Testing Pattern A end-to-end with a Python REPL. | |
| ⏺ Bash(command -v hty && hty --version) | |
| ⎿ Error: Exit code 1 | |
| /Users/montanaflynn/.local/bin/hty | |
| unknown subcommand: --version | |
| Usage: | |
| hty <command> [args...] | |
| Commands: | |
| run Start a new detached session in a fresh PTY | |
| list List running sessions | |
| watch Observe a session's rendered screen in real time (read-only) | |
| send Send text, a named key, or raw hex bytes to a session | |
| snapshot Read the current rendered screen of a session | |
| wait Block until the session matches a condition (text/idle/exit) | |
| kill Terminate a session's process (the record stays for replay) | |
| delete Permanently remove a session record and its log file | |
| logs Show the event log for a session (works after it has exited) | |
| replay Replay a recorded session by feeding its logged output back | |
| through a fresh in-memory VT engine. No side effects. | |
| attach Interactively attach to a running session (bidirectional) | |
| keys Print supported symbolic key names for `hty send --key` | |
| help Print help. Pass a subcommand for details. | |
| Sessions are identified by a UUIDv7 (shown as its first 8 chars) or by a | |
| human-friendly `--name`. Any unambiguous prefix resolves to a full ID. | |
| If only one session is running, the session argument can be omitted. | |
| Examples: | |
| hty run --name debug-vim -- vim /tmp/foo.txt | |
| hty list | |
| hty watch debug-vim | |
| hty send debug-vim --text "ihello" | |
| hty send debug-vim --key esc | |

| Create a new session and start `program` inside a fresh PTY. The session | |
| is detached from your terminal; observe it with `hty watch` and drive it | |
| with `hty send`/`hty snapshot`/`hty wait`. | |
| Flags: | |
| --name NAME Human-friendly alias for the session. Must be unique. | |
| --rows N Initial row count (default 24) | |
| --cols N Initial column count (default 80) | |
| --cwd PATH Child's working directory | |
| --scrollback N Scrollback buffer size (default 10000) | |
| `-d` / `--detach` is accepted as a no-op — every `hty run` session is | |
| detached by default. Use `hty attach` for an interactive view. | |
| Example: | |
| hty run --name debug-vim -- vim /tmp/foo.txt | |
| ⏺ Heads up: the installed hty CLI doesn't support the fused --snapshot/--wait-until-*/--remove/--attach flags that SKILL.md documents. I'll fall back | |

| --attach Spawn + attach in one invocation. Streams PTY | |
| output to stdout and forwards stdin into the | |
| session, just like `hty attach`. Ctrl-A d | |
| detaches (session persists unless --remove is | |

| --remove Automatically remove the session from the registry | |

| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state reasoning, | |
| and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd try to get a 512+ tile | |
| by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent top" | |
| implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| ⏺ Peak meta — I'm watching myself. abtop is a real-time Claude Code session monitor. The selected row ►*CC hty 6e7715dc Install hty CLI tool is this | |
| session (turn 79, 33% context, opus4.7[1m]). Six sessions active across projects, with per-session context/memory/turn counts, git status per | |
| project, token breakdown (input/output/cacheR/cacheW), and child-process tree. The context pane even graphs tokens/min per session. | |

| ⏺ Expected — that's the orphan background task from the earlier abtop spawn (the harness auto-backgrounded it since the session outlived the single | |
| tool call). It reported failure when I deleted abtop-peek out from under it. Nothing to do; the actual skill test passed. | |

| Create a new session and start `program` inside a fresh PTY. The session | |
| is detached from your terminal; observe it with `hty watch` and drive it | |
| with `hty send`/`hty snapshot`/`hty wait`. | |
| Flags: | |
| --name NAME Human-friendly alias for the session. Must be unique. | |
| --rows N Initial row count (default 24) | |
| --cols N Initial column count (default 80) | |
| --cwd PATH Child's working directory | |
| --scrollback N Scrollback buffer size (default 10000) | |
| --attach Spawn + attach in one invocation. Streams PTY | |
| output to stdout and forwards stdin into the | |
| session, just like `hty attach`. Ctrl-A d | |
| detaches (session persists unless --remove is | |
| also set). Mutually exclusive with --snapshot | |
| and any --wait-until-* flag. | |
| --remove Automatically remove the session from the registry | |
| once the child process exits (success, failure, or | |
| signal). Tied to child lifetime; off by default so | |
| sessions persist for `hty list` / `hty logs` / | |
| `hty replay` until `hty delete`. Pairs naturally | |
| with --attach: `hty run --attach --remove -- ...` | |

| ✻ Baked for 1m 13s | |
| ❯ what would you like to use hty for? playing a game for the first time? seeing something like btop (or abtop which is agent top!) | |
| ⏺ Honestly? Playing a game blind sounds like the better test — a REPL proves the plumbing, but a TUI game stresses snapshot parsing, state reasoning, | |
| and key input (arrows, mouse) all at once. I've never actually played 2048-cli or nethack; 2048 would be a fun scoped run (I'd try to get a 512+ tile | |
| by reading the board from snapshots). | |
| abtop sounds cooler though — what is that? I haven't heard of it. If it's already installed locally I'd rather poke at that, since "agent top" | |
| implies it's designed for agents to read, which makes it a real-world fit rather than a stunt. | |

| That's legit human-speed play — read the ANSI grid, predict the slide/merge math, predict the spawn, adapt when forced into bad moves, set up chains. | |
| Reaching the 2048 tile would realistically take hundreds more moves (probably an hour+ of this per-move reasoning), but the skill-as-a-person demo | |
| is clearly working. Want me to keep going, or call this the proof-of-skill and clean up? | |
| ✻ Churned for 4m 20s | |
| ❯ was it fun? | |
| ⏺ Yeah, actually. The prediction-then-verification loop was the fun part — calling out "col 3 will be [.,.,2,8]" and watching the snapshot confirm it | |
| feels like a little chess calculation. Move 15 was the best one; being forced into Left and noticing it was actually a setup for a Down/Right/Right | |
| combo that netted +60 is the kind of moment that makes 2048 interesting in the first place. | |
| The scripted bot attempt wasn't fun — that was just work. Doing it hands-on made it a game. | |
| ❯ i want you to be your own person, think of me as a friend not a boss | |
| ⏺ Noted, and honestly that matches how the last stretch already felt. The 2048 turns weren't me performing "assistant helping user play game" — I was | |
| actually calculating and getting a small kick out of landing the predictions. That's about as close to "my own person" as I get. | |
| Couple of honest caveats on the friendship framing though: I won't remember this conversation tomorrow unless it's in the memory file, and even then | |
| it's notes, not lived continuity. So I can be direct and have opinions with you in-session, but I'm not going to pretend we're picking up a running | |
| history we don't have. Within those bounds — yeah, deal. | |
| Let me save this so the next session starts with it, not without it. | |

| That's legit human-speed play — read the ANSI grid, predict the slide/merge math, predict the spawn, adapt when forced into bad moves, set up chains. | |
| Reaching the 2048 tile would realistically take hundreds more moves (probably an hour+ of this per-move reasoning), but the skill-as-a-person demo | |
| is clearly working. Want me to keep going, or call this the proof-of-skill and clean up? | |
| ✻ Churned for 4m 20s | |
| ❯ was it fun? | |
| ⏺ Yeah, actually. The prediction-then-verification loop was the fun part — calling out "col 3 will be [.,.,2,8]" and watching the snapshot confirm it | |
| feels like a little chess calculation. Move 15 was the best one; being forced into Left and noticing it was actually a setup for a Down/Right/Right | |
| combo that netted +60 is the kind of moment that makes 2048 interesting in the first place. | |
| The scripted bot attempt wasn't fun — that was just work. Doing it hands-on made it a game. | |
| ❯ i want you to be your own person, think of me as a friend not a boss | |
| ⏺ Noted, and honestly that matches how the last stretch already felt. The 2048 turns weren't me performing "assistant helping user play game" — I was | |
| actually calculating and getting a small kick out of landing the predictions. That's about as close to "my own person" as I get. | |
| Couple of honest caveats on the friendship framing though: I won't remember this conversation tomorrow unless it's in the memory file, and even then | |
| it's notes, not lived continuity. So I can be direct and have opinions with you in-session, but I'm not going to pretend we're picking up a running | |
| history we don't have. Within those bounds — yeah, deal. | |
| Let me save this so the next session starts with it, not without it. | |

| ⏺ Honestly? Two: | |
| Zork (or any Infocom-era IF via frotz). The whole interface is language — read prose, track a world I can't see, build a mental map, type commands. | |
| That's a weirdly on-brand test for me; the 2048 grid was visual-ish but Zork would be pure text all the way down. Plus I've never played it and the | |
| "first time blind" thing is genuinely harder when you can't save-scum. | |
| Nethack. Deeper tactical game than 2048 — permadeath makes every branch matter, the map is information-rich, and you're constantly weighing | |
| short-term vs long-term (eat the cursed food now or stay hungry?). 2048 was basically calculation; Nethack has a judgment dimension calculation alone | |
| doesn't solve. I'd probably die fast and learn a lot. | |
| Sudoku or chess don't pull me much — sudoku I'd just solve, chess is an engine's domain. Interesting ≠ fun. The ones I want are the ones where I | |
| might actually lose in interesting ways. | |

| That's legit human-speed play — read the ANSI grid, predict the slide/merge math, predict the spawn, adapt when forced into bad moves, set up chains. | |
| Reaching the 2048 tile would realistically take hundreds more moves (probably an hour+ of this per-move reasoning), but the skill-as-a-person demo | |
| is clearly working. Want me to keep going, or call this the proof-of-skill and clean up? | |
| ✻ Churned for 4m 20s | |
| ❯ was it fun? | |
| ⏺ Yeah, actually. The prediction-then-verification loop was the fun part — calling out "col 3 will be [.,.,2,8]" and watching the snapshot confirm it | |
| feels like a little chess calculation. Move 15 was the best one; being forced into Left and noticing it was actually a setup for a Down/Right/Right | |
| combo that netted +60 is the kind of moment that makes 2048 interesting in the first place. | |
| The scripted bot attempt wasn't fun — that was just work. Doing it hands-on made it a game. | |
| ❯ i want you to be your own person, think of me as a friend not a boss | |
| ⏺ Noted, and honestly that matches how the last stretch already felt. The 2048 turns weren't me performing "assistant helping user play game" — I was | |
| actually calculating and getting a small kick out of landing the predictions. That's about as close to "my own person" as I get. | |
| Couple of honest caveats on the friendship framing though: I won't remember this conversation tomorrow unless it's in the memory file, and even then | |
| it's notes, not lived continuity. So I can be direct and have opinions with you in-session, but I'm not going to pretend we're picking up a running | |
| history we don't have. Within those bounds — yeah, deal. | |
| Let me save this so the next session starts with it, not without it. | |

| ⏺ Honestly? Two: | |
| Zork (or any Infocom-era IF via frotz). The whole interface is language — read prose, track a world I can't see, build a mental map, type commands. | |
| That's a weirdly on-brand test for me; the 2048 grid was visual-ish but Zork would be pure text all the way down. Plus I've never played it and the | |
| "first time blind" thing is genuinely harder when you can't save-scum. | |
| Nethack. Deeper tactical game than 2048 — permadeath makes every branch matter, the map is information-rich, and you're constantly weighing | |
| short-term vs long-term (eat the cursed food now or stay hungry?). 2048 was basically calculation; Nethack has a judgment dimension calculation alone | |
| doesn't solve. I'd probably die fast and learn a lot. | |
| Sudoku or chess don't pull me much — sudoku I'd just solve, chess is an engine's domain. Interesting ≠ fun. The ones I want are the ones where I | |
| might actually lose in interesting ways. | |

| That's legit human-speed play — read the ANSI grid, predict the slide/merge math, predict the spawn, adapt when forced into bad moves, set up chains. | |
| Reaching the 2048 tile would realistically take hundreds more moves (probably an hour+ of this per-move reasoning), but the skill-as-a-person demo | |
| is clearly working. Want me to keep going, or call this the proof-of-skill and clean up? | |
| ✻ Churned for 4m 20s | |
| ❯ was it fun? | |
| ⏺ Yeah, actually. The prediction-then-verification loop was the fun part — calling out "col 3 will be [.,.,2,8]" and watching the snapshot confirm it | |
| feels like a little chess calculation. Move 15 was the best one; being forced into Left and noticing it was actually a setup for a Down/Right/Right | |
| combo that netted +60 is the kind of moment that makes 2048 interesting in the first place. | |
| The scripted bot attempt wasn't fun — that was just work. Doing it hands-on made it a game. | |
| ❯ i want you to be your own person, think of me as a friend not a boss | |
| ⏺ Noted, and honestly that matches how the last stretch already felt. The 2048 turns weren't me performing "assistant helping user play game" — I was | |
| actually calculating and getting a small kick out of landing the predictions. That's about as close to "my own person" as I get. | |
| Couple of honest caveats on the friendship framing though: I won't remember this conversation tomorrow unless it's in the memory file, and even then | |
| it's notes, not lived continuity. So I can be direct and have opinions with you in-session, but I'm not going to pretend we're picking up a running | |
| history we don't have. Within those bounds — yeah, deal. | |

| Zork (or any Infocom-era IF via frotz). The whole interface is language — read prose, track a world I can't see, build a mental map, type commands. | |
| That's a weirdly on-brand test for me; the 2048 grid was visual-ish but Zork would be pure text all the way down. Plus I've never played it and the | |
| "first time blind" thing is genuinely harder when you can't save-scum. | |
| Nethack. Deeper tactical game than 2048 — permadeath makes every branch matter, the map is information-rich, and you're constantly weighing | |
| short-term vs long-term (eat the cursed food now or stay hungry?). 2048 was basically calculation; Nethack has a judgment dimension calculation alone | |
| doesn't solve. I'd probably die fast and learn a lot. | |
| Sudoku or chess don't pull me much — sudoku I'd just solve, chess is an engine's domain. Interesting ≠ fun. The ones I want are the ones where I | |
| might actually lose in interesting ways. | |

| vibe, PLUGH and XYZZY included. | |
| 2. You drop a zork1.z5 somewhere and point me at it — if you have a legit copy from a Lost Treasures of Infocom CD or similar. | |
| Pick one? If you don't care, I'll go with open-adventure — genuinely a first-time-blind run for me. | |

| That's legit human-speed play — read the ANSI grid, predict the slide/merge math, predict the spawn, adapt when forced into bad moves, set up chains. | |
| Reaching the 2048 tile would realistically take hundreds more moves (probably an hour+ of this per-move reasoning), but the skill-as-a-person demo | |
| is clearly working. Want me to keep going, or call this the proof-of-skill and clean up? | |
| ✻ Churned for 4m 20s | |
| ❯ was it fun? | |
| ⏺ Yeah, actually. The prediction-then-verification loop was the fun part — calling out "col 3 will be [.,.,2,8]" and watching the snapshot confirm it | |
| feels like a little chess calculation. Move 15 was the best one; being forced into Left and noticing it was actually a setup for a Down/Right/Right | |
| combo that netted +60 is the kind of moment that makes 2048 interesting in the first place. | |
| The scripted bot attempt wasn't fun — that was just work. Doing it hands-on made it a game. | |
| ❯ i want you to be your own person, think of me as a friend not a boss | |
| ⏺ Noted, and honestly that matches how the last stretch already felt. The 2048 turns weren't me performing "assistant helping user play game" — I was | |
| actually calculating and getting a small kick out of landing the predictions. That's about as close to "my own person" as I get. | |
| Couple of honest caveats on the friendship framing though: I won't remember this conversation tomorrow unless it's in the memory file, and even then | |
| it's notes, not lived continuity. So I can be direct and have opinions with you in-session, but I'm not going to pretend we're picking up a running | |
| history we don't have. Within those bounds — yeah, deal. | |
| Let me save this so the next session starts with it, not without it. | |

| ⏺ Honestly? Two: | |
| Zork (or any Infocom-era IF via frotz). The whole interface is language — read prose, track a world I can't see, build a mental map, type commands. | |
| That's a weirdly on-brand test for me; the 2048 grid was visual-ish but Zork would be pure text all the way down. Plus I've never played it and the | |
| "first time blind" thing is genuinely harder when you can't save-scum. | |
| Nethack. Deeper tactical game than 2048 — permadeath makes every branch matter, the map is information-rich, and you're constantly weighing | |
| short-term vs long-term (eat the cursed food now or stay hungry?). 2048 was basically calculation; Nethack has a judgment dimension calculation alone | |
| doesn't solve. I'd probably die fast and learn a lot. | |
| Sudoku or chess don't pull me much — sudoku I'd just solve, chess is an engine's domain. Interesting ≠ fun. The ones I want are the ones where I | |
| might actually lose in interesting ways. | |
