What it does

Termio is an agent skill from termio-sh/termio. See and drive the sibling agent sessions running alongside you on this machine via the termiod CLI — list them and their status, start a new agent or plain-terminal session, send a prompt or an answer into one, and set your own status. Use when delegating work to another session, or checking on what other sessions are doing. Do not use merely because a task could run in parallel. Requires running inside a termiod session (TERMIODSESSIONID set).

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: A terminal-first agentic development environment for agentic coding. Build for CLI/TUI agent. Runtime for Coding Agent, Tmux alternative. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Delegating work to another session
  • Checking on what other sessions are doing

Example prompts

  • “/termio”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af3b35b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Termio loads about 761 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 410 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~761

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.

description
See and drive the sibling agent sessions running alongside you on this machine via the `termiod` CLI — list them and their status, start a new agent or plain-terminal session, send a prompt or an answer into one, and set your own status. Use when delegating work to another session, or checking on what other sessions are doing. Do not use merely because a task could run in parallel. Requires running inside a termiod session (TERMIOD_SESSION_ID set).

Driving sibling sessions (termiod)

If TERMIOD_SESSION_ID is not set in your environment, you are not running inside a termiod session — say so and stop instead of trying to drive sessions you cannot see.

You are running inside a session hosted by termiod on this machine, alongside other sessions on the same host. Coordinate with them through the termiod CLI. The installed CLI is the authority on syntax: where this text and termiod --help disagree, trust the CLI.

Sessions here are scoped to this machine, not to a project. The daemon lists every session it hosts, so read the names and working directories before acting on one — there is no project filter to lean on.

  • termiod list --json — every session on this host, with its status (working / idle / needs_you / done / failed / unknown), name, and pid. Sessions are addressed by id or by name; both work everywhere a target is taken.
  • termiod send <target> "<text>" — type into a session as if the user had. Use it to answer a sibling that is blocked on a question. --no-enter types the text without pressing Enter.
  • termiod create --name <name> --cwd <dir> -- <program> [args…] — start a new session and print its id. With no -- argv it starts a login shell.
  • termiod kill <target> — kill a session and its process group.
  • termiod set-status "$TERMIOD_SESSION_ID" <state> — report your own state. Valid states are working, idle, needs_you, done, failed, and unknown. --title "<short label>" sets the label a viewer shows beside the session.

When to use this

  • Delegating. A task that is genuinely separate work — a long build, an independent investigation — can go to a new session so the user watches it in its own pane.
  • Supervising. Before reporting that something is done, check whether a sibling you started is still working or has gone needs_you.
  • Unblocking. A sibling sitting at needs_you is waiting on a human. If you can answer it from what you already know, send the answer.

Do not spawn a session merely because two things could happen at once. A session the user did not ask for and does not watch is noise.

What is not available here

Unlike the same skill on a Mac running the termio app, there is no transcript reader and no project-scoped listing: termiod hosts sessions, and the project a session belongs to is not yet readable back from it. Do not guess at a sibling's conversation contents — ask it with send, or read what the user tells you.

Termio is an agent skill from termio-sh/termio. See and drive the sibling agent sessions running alongside you on this machine via the termiod CLI — list them and their status, start a new agent or plain-terminal session, send a prompt or an answer into one, and set your own status.

When should I use Termio?

Termio fits situations like: delegating work to another session; checking on what other sessions are doing.

How do I install Termio in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add termio-sh/termio --skill termio -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (Sources/termio/Resources/skills/termio-device in termio-sh/termio) into .claude/skills/termio in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Termio in Codex?

Run `npx skills add termio-sh/termio --skill termio -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (Sources/termio/Resources/skills/termio-device in termio-sh/termio) into .agents/skills/termio in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Termio in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add termio-sh/termio --skill termio -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/termio, .gemini/skills/termio, .github/skills/termio and .opencode/skills/termio in your project.

What does Termio need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Termio is instructions for the agent only.

Does Termio access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Termio safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Termio use?

Termio is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Termio use?

About 761 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Termio?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Termio: Session Handoff (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars), Drive Automation Session (jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace, 2.8k stars), Session (anthropics/claude-for-legal, 9.6k stars) and Session History Search (slopus/happy, 24k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
