What it does

Interactive Login is an agent skill from yc-software/qm. How to complete browser/interactive logins (aws / gh / glab / gcloud). The platform backgrounds the login poller so it survives the human's browser round-trip — and when that does NOT work.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud. The repository describes itself as: Multiplayer agent harness for work. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/interactive-login”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23af31b. 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:

    • aws
    • gh
    • glab
    • gcloud

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use aws, gh, glab and gcloud, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Interactive Login loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 752 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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
How to complete browser/interactive logins (aws / gh / glab / gcloud). The platform backgrounds the login poller so it survives the human's browser round-trip — and when that does NOT work.

Interactive login (and what backgrounding can and can't do)

Some logins are interactive: the CLI prints a verification URL + one-time code, then polls the provider until the human approves in a browser, and only then writes the token to $HOME. Run that as a plain blocking execute and it either hangs your whole turn waiting for a human, or — worse — the turn's sandbox is torn down at turn end and the poller dies before the human finishes, so nothing is ever saved. The next turn starts over and loops forever.

You usually don't have to manage any of this. Just run the native login command.

bash
aws sso login --use-device-code

AWS (and CLIs that log in through AWS SSO): always pass --use-device-code (aws sso login ≥ CLI v2 2.22). The bare form uses a PKCE flow that redirects to 127.0.0.1 and only completes if the approving browser is on the same machine as the CLI. Since the user approves on their computer, that flow can never finish on the agent computer; --use-device-code forces the device-grant (URL + code, completed by server-side polling) that works cross-device.

On the resident, per-scope agent computer (the production substrate), the platform recognizes these as interactive logins and runs each as a durable process session (ADR 0002): it returns the verification URL + code to you immediately instead of blocking, and keeps polling the provider on the agent computer across turns. (This recognition is wired only where the backend supports process sessions — on a per-turn local/docker sandbox nothing intercepts the command and it just blocks; see "When it will NOT work".) When the human approves, the poller writes the token into the durable $HOME and exits. Give the user the URL + code, tell them to approve, then on a later turn re-run the same command (or any command for that tool) — if approval landed, the platform reports you're already authenticated; if not, you get the same URL

  • code back. Each pending login self-expires (~10–15 min); if it lapses, just run the login again.

So the right pattern is: run the native login, hand over the URL + code, continue, and re-check later. You do not poll in a loop, you do not hold the turn open, and you do not hand-roll the exchange yourself.

When backgrounding works

  • The agent computer is a resident, per-scope machine (the production substrate — SANDBOX=fly): it has durable process sessions and a durable $HOME, so a login started in one turn is still polling in the next and the token persists.
  • The command is one of the recognized native flows: aws sso login, gh auth login, glab auth login, gcloud auth login. The platform knows these poll-then-write and keeps them alive for you.

When it will NOT work (don't rely on it)

  • On a per-turn sandbox (local/docker dev). Those backends have no process sessions and are torn down at the end of every turn — there is nothing to keep the poller alive across the human's approval. An interactive browser login cannot complete there. Use a non-interactive path instead: a token via env or --with-token / --token --stdin, a service-account / credentials file, or --cred-file. The platform deliberately leaves those non-interactive token forms to run normally (it only backgrounds the interactive login).
  • For logins the platform doesn't recognize. A CLI that prompts for a username/password at the TTY, or a bespoke OAuth flow that isn't in the list above, is not backgrounded — it runs as an ordinary blocking command and will hang and then die at turn teardown. Prefer that tool's non-interactive/token auth, or ask the user to provide a token you can configure.
  • For arbitrary processes you spawn yourself. Backgrounding with & / nohup does not make a process survive between turns. Only declared session kinds are kept alive past teardown, and today only the interactive-login broker is wired in. A dev server, a long build, or a sleep you launch will be reaped when the turn ends — don't architect a task around "I'll leave it running in the background."

Boundaries

  • A backgrounded login session is scope-keyed to the requesting scope and lives on that scope's computer only — it never crosses the data boundary; another principal in the same thread cannot read your session or use the resulting auth.
  • A session is a host for resident state, not an authority. The login only completes the auth exchange; any side-effecting or destructive command you run afterward still goes through the normal approval path.
  • Never echo the token, one-time code reuse, client secret, or resulting credentials into the channel — hand over only the verification URL + code the human needs.
