What Shell Integration does

Shell Integration adds interactive tmux-based shell input, output capture, cursor rendering, and scrollback handling in the TUI. Use it for shell integration, command execution, paste handling, and inline editing.

Shell Integration is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Shell Integration comes from a repository tagged agentic-ai, agentic-workflows, claude-code and tui.

Documentation

README

Shell Integration

Sidecar's interactive shell allows users to type directly into tmux sessions from within the TUI. Tmux remains the PTY backend. Sidecar renders ordered control-mode bytes through the shared tty.Model, whose VT behavior is behind the screenmodel adapter rather than implemented in plugin code.
