At a glance

Control Hypa, a terminal mux for coding agents. An agent skill from Hypabolic/Hypa.

  • Explicitly mentions Hypa
  • SKILL.md covers Learn the current CLI, Layout, panes, and agents, IDs and caller context and Start and coordinate an agent, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls jq; needs HYPA_PANE_TOKEN
  • Asks to use Hypa to inspect

What it does

Hypa Runtime is an agent skill from Hypabolic/Hypa. Control Hypa, a terminal mux for coding agents. Use only when the user explicitly mentions Hypa or asks to use Hypa to inspect or control panes, tabs, workspaces, commands, or another agent. Do not use merely because a task could benefit from a background terminal, delegation, or parallel work. Requires HYPAENV=1.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • Explicitly mentions Hypa
  • Asks to use Hypa to inspect

Example prompts

  • “/hypa-runtime”

Requirements

  • A credential in HYPA_PANE_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 262bfa4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • HYPA_PANE_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hypa Runtime loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,305 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,305 words (~2,650 tokens).

“Hypa organizes terminals into workspaces, tabs, and panes. It detects coding agents in panes and gives you the hypa CLI to control the current session.”
