 "title": "Answer Claude Code or Codex from your phone",
 "page_title": "How to answer Claude Code or Codex from your phone with Ovis",
 "summary": "Read the agent's chat, tap approvals and send replies to herdr panes from your phone.",
 "who": "A developer who starts long Claude Code or Codex sessions at a desk and needs to respond to them while away from it.",
 "problem": "An agent stops and waits for approval or an answer, and you are not near the computer running herdr.",
 "outcome": "You see the same agent session on your phone as a chat, tap to answer its approvals and questions, and open the live terminal when needed.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the app on the computer with `curl -fsSL https://ovis.sh/install.sh | sh` (Linux or macOS) or `irm https://ovis.sh/install.ps1 | iex` in PowerShell (Windows).",
  "With herdr running, open the address the installer prints, normally [127.0.0.1:7317](http://127.0.0.1:7317).",
  "Open Phone setup in herdr or use the installer's QR code, scan it with your phone and add the app to your home screen.",
  "Open a pane that runs Claude Code or Codex, then tap an approval or question card to reply.",
  "Tap Terminal on the pane if a request has no card support and you need the live terminal."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the devswha/ovis repo, set up Ovis for the herdr workspace on <target computer> and confirm that the chat view of a running Claude Code or Codex pane loads at 127.0.0.1:7317. Report the pane name, whether approval cards appear and any step that failed.",
