hty
hty is a terminal-control tool for AI agents, described as Puppeteer for the terminal. It gives agents a way to run interactive CLI and TUI programs by reading the rendered terminal screen, sending keystrokes, replaying sessions, watching logs, and managing long-lived sessions through a background server. That makes it useful for developers building agents that need to handle editors, REPLs, authentication prompts, scaffolding wizards, CI jobs, or remote terminal workflows without brittle text-only assumptions. The official docs include installation, session commands, AI-agent guides, CI automation, remote observation, and replay references. hty is timely because reliable terminal interaction remains one of the awkward gaps between chat-style coding assistants and real autonomous developer workflows.
