4 use cases

  • Keep long builds and agents running after you close the window

    Detach from Think Term and reattach later to the same shells, builds, and agent tasks.

    View prompt
    Using the RoversX/ThinkTerm repo, start a long-running build in a pane of a ThinkTerm session on <target machine>, detach the client, then reattach with `thinkterm tui`. Expected output: the build log continues from where it was before detaching. Verify that the process is still running after the client disconnects.

  • Let a coding agent read and drive other terminal panes

    Install the Think Term skill so an agent can send input to and read output from other panes.

    View prompt
    In the RoversX/ThinkTerm repo, use `thinkterm cli get-text` to read the output of the pane labeled <pane label>, then summarize any failing test. Expected output: a short list of failing tests with file names. Verify that the summary matches the text returned by get-text before acting on it.

  • Watch agents on several machines from one Think Term sidebar

    Connect remote hosts through Think Term Connect and switch between them in one workspace.

    View prompt
    Using the RoversX/ThinkTerm repo, connect ThinkTerm to the remote host <host name> with ThinkTerm Connect, then list the recognized agents in the Agents panel. Expected output: each agent with its project and work status. Verify that the agent processes still run on the remote host after the desktop client closes.

  • Check running sessions from a browser over HTTPS

    Enable the browser listener and use an access token to reach your sessions from another device.

    View prompt
    Using the RoversX/ThinkTerm repo, enable the browser listener in Settings and then Web, create an access token, and open the web client from <device>. Expected output: the list of running sessions on the mux server. Verify that the browser shows the same sessions as the desktop app.

How to use Think Term

  1. Check you have what it needs: macOS, Linux, or Windows (the README lists these as desktop platforms); Homebrew on macOS for the cask install, or Rust and platform build tools for a source build; Access to the machines you want to connect, if you use remote sessions.
  2. Open RoversX/ThinkTerm on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Install on macOS with brew install --cask roversx/tap/thinkterm, or download a release from the Releases page
  4. Open the desktop application with thinkterm start
  5. Start a long build or coding agent task in a pane
  6. Close the desktop window; the server-held session keeps running

These steps come from our top use case, Keep long builds and agents running after you close the window, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
