create_terminal      → Spawn a PTY session with optional name, tags, buffer size
create_from_template → Spawn from a built-in template (shell, next-dev, vite-dev, etc.)
spawn_claude         → Launch a Claude Code sub-agent in a dedicated session
spawn_codex          → Launch a Codex sub-agent in a dedicated session
spawn_gemini         → Launch a Gemini CLI sub-agent in a dedicated session
close_terminal       → Kill a session and free resources
close_group          → Close all sessions matching a tag
list_terminals       → List sessions, optionally filtered by tag
list_templates       → Show available session templates

write_terminal       → Send input (appends newline by default)
read_terminal        → Read NEW output since last read (incremental)
read_screen          → Get rendered viewport as clean text (no ANSI)
read_multiple        → Batch read from up to 20 sessions at once
send_control         → Send Ctrl+C, arrow keys, Tab, Enter, etc.
resize_terminal      → Change terminal dimensions

grep_terminal        → Regex search across a session's output buffer
wait_for             → Block until output matches a pattern or process exits

run_command          → Run a command to completion, return output, auto-cleanup

subscribe_events     → Get notified when a session exits or matches a pattern
unsubscribe_events   → Cancel an event subscription

delegate_task        → Delegate a task to another agent — oneshot or interactive multi-turn

health_check         → Server version, uptime, session count, memory usage
get_session_history  → Tool call history for agent sessions
clear_history        → Clear persisted stale session entries

# Good — build is a one-shot task
run_command({ command: "npm run build && npm test" })

# Good — dev server needs to stay alive
create_terminal({ command: "npm run dev", name: "dev-server" })
wait_for({ id, pattern: "ready on" })

wait_for({ id, pattern: "Server running on port 3000" })
# returns as soon as the line appears — process keeps running

wait_for({ id, pattern: ".", waitForExit: true })
# waits for the process to finish, returns everything

# Instead of this (brittle):
spawn_claude({ prompt: "...", cwd: "/Users/me/projects/my-app" })

# Do this (inherits cwd from current session):
spawn_claude({ prompt: "...", fromSession: currentSessionId })

spawn_claude({ prompt: "Add auth", worktree: true, branch: "feature/auth" })
spawn_claude({ prompt: "Add payments", worktree: true, branch: "feature/payments" })
# Both agents work in parallel without stepping on each other
