# Keep Agent Running

Keep an interactive coding-agent CLI available after a terminal disconnect without assuming that
new paid infrastructure is necessary.

The skill works with Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and other
terminal agents. It evaluates four paths in order:

1. keep the current computer online;
2. use the provider's official remote or cloud execution;
3. reuse a suitable host you already control; or
4. consider a new paid host only when the first three paths cannot preserve the required state.

## Install

Use a compatible Agent Skills client:

```sh
npx skills add Anchras/terminalbox-tools --skill keep-agent-running
```

Or install through a native plugin marketplace:

```sh
copilot plugin marketplace add Anchras/terminalbox-tools
copilot plugin install keep-agent-running@terminalbox-tools

claude plugin marketplace add Anchras/terminalbox-tools
claude plugin install keep-agent-running@terminalbox-tools

codex plugin marketplace add Anchras/terminalbox-tools
codex plugin add keep-agent-running@terminalbox-tools
```

## Trust boundary

Review [`skills/keep-agent-running/SKILL.md`](./skills/keep-agent-running/SKILL.md) before
installing. The plugin contains no scripts, hooks, MCP servers, telemetry, or credential handling.
It does not install software, change settings, start a process, or open checkout without explicit
approval for that action.
