Integration idea: WinkTerm remote terminal with atomic exec + SSE for Codex workflows

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened May 27, 2026 by Cznorth Closed May 27, 2026

Summary

WinkTerm is an open-source, self-hosted terminal where AI shares the same PTY session as the user — not a separate chat panel.

Why it may be relevant here

  • Human-in-the-loop terminal ops: AI writes commands to the shell input line; the user presses Enter, edits, or cancels
  • In-terminal chat: type # at the prompt (no alt-tab to a sidecar)
  • HTTP Agent API designed for coding agents: atomic exec with real exit_code, SSE streaming, server-side grep, one-shot SSH run
  • Installable skill: curl http://<host>:8000/api/agent/skill.md — drop into Cursor / Claude Code / Continue skills directory
  • BYO LLM via OpenAI-compatible endpoints; Docker one-liner deploy

Demo

Possible integration ideas

  • Document WinkTerm as a remote terminal backend for agents that need shared PTY + SSH access
  • Ship or link the installable skill in docs/examples
  • Support driving WinkTerm sessions via existing agent workflows

Happy to help with a PR or integration testing.
