4 use cases

  • Approve risky agent commands from your iPhone

    Hold dangerous commands from a coding agent until you approve or deny them on your phone.

    View prompt
    Using the repo banmu123/BrewPing, confirm that BrewPing Desktop lists the agents installed on this computer and that the approval mode for <target folder> is safe. Expected output: the detected agents and the active approval mode. Verify that a pending risky command shows as waiting and does not run until it is approved.

  • Start a coding task and follow its output on iPhone

    Send an instruction to an agent on your computer and read its streaming output from your phone.

    View prompt
    Using the repo banmu123/BrewPing, start a conversation with the agent in the working folder <target folder> and send the instruction <instruction>. Expected output: streaming agent output and a live status shown on the phone. Verify that the conversation is bound to the chosen folder.

  • Dictate agent instructions on your Apple Watch

    Speak a coding instruction on your wrist and read the agent's reply on the Watch.

    View prompt
    Using the repo banmu123/BrewPing, pair the Apple Watch app with the desktop and send the dictated instruction <instruction> to the active agent. Expected output: the agent's reply shown on the Watch. Verify that the active agent and model match the selection made by swiping on the Watch.

  • Drive an agent session from the terminal with the CLI

    Start, message, check, and stop an OpenCode session from a shell using the Brew Ping CLI.

    View prompt
    Using the repo banmu123/BrewPing, run `swift run BrewPing start`, then `swift run BrewPing send "<instruction>"`, then `swift run BrewPing status`. Expected output: a running session status after the message is sent. Verify that `swift run BrewPing stop` ends the session.
