Coding Agent

Launch and manage AI coding agents (Codex, Claude Code, Kiro CLI, OpenCode, Pi) from OpenClaw using bash with background process control.

PTY Mode Required

Coding agents are interactive terminal applications that need a pseudo-terminal (PTY). Without it, output breaks or the agent hangs.

Always set pty:true:

# Correct — with PTY
bash pty:true command:"codex exec 'Your prompt'"

# Wrong — agent may break or hang
bash command:"codex exec 'Your prompt'"
