Termos

Keep Claude Code interactive while it works.

The Problem

Claude Code's built-in AskUserQuestion tool blocks execution until you respond. One question at a time. If Claude needs approval mid-task, everything stops.

The Solution

Termos is a CLI + Claude Code skill that spawns floating terminal panes for interactions. Claude keeps working while you review and respond in your own time.

# Claude runs this (non-blocking)
termos run confirm --prompt "Deploy to production?"

# Returns immediately with an ID
# Claude continues working, checks result later
termos wait <id>

• Non-blocking - Claude asks without stopping
• Parallel interactions - Multiple panes, multiple questions
• Rich components - Diffs, tables, checklists, not just text prompts
• Side-by-side workflow - Run a Zellij session alongside Claude with your dev servers

Install

claude plugins add-marketplace github:termos-dev/termos
claude plugins install termos

Then run /termos:init in Claude to configure.

Side-by-Side Workflow

Run a Zellij session alongside Claude with your background processes:

# Terminal 1: Claude Code
claude

# Terminal 2: View interactions + run dev servers
termos attach

/termos:init asks about your project's background processes (dev server, API, logs) and generates a custom layout. When you run termos attach, everything starts automatically.

termos attach              # Start session with default layout
termos attach -l debug     # Use a different layout
termos status              # Check session status
termos stop                # Kill the session

Components

Drop custom .tsx files in .termos/interactive/ for your own Ink components.

Requirements

• macOS: Native support (Ghostty or Terminal.app)
