TL;DR
- What — A persistent terminal session daemon (like tmux, but smaller) with a tmux-compatible command layer for AI-agent tooling. Detach and reattach by name or pane id.
- Who it's for — Terminal-first coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor Agent, Antigravity/
agy, Kiro, Jules, Aider, Goose, Amp, Crush, Kimi, Qwen, Gemini CLI, Grok Build CLI via customlterm agent grok,oh-my-codex/oh-my-claude, and users running them insidecmux. - How — Use
lterm startto create a session,lterm resumeto reconnect, andlterm agent/lterm claude/lterm codex/lterm opencode/lterm agy/lterm kiro/lterm geminifor built-in shimmed agent launchers. Inside a tmux-enabled session, thetmuxcommand resolves tolterm tmux-compat. - Status — 1.x CLI with a documented 1.0 command/output compatibility boundary. It is a same-user convenience daemon — not a sandbox, an escape-sequence sanitizer, or a full tmux replacement.
`lterm` is intentionally smaller than tmux. It keeps long-running PTY sessions alive, lets clients detach and reattach at will, forwards terminal escape sequences unchanged, and translates the tmux command subset commonly used by terminal-first agent tooling.
**Security model:** `lterm` is a same-user convenience daemon, not a sandbox. It rejects cross-user Unix-socket peers and uses owner-only runtime directories, but any process running as your OS user should be considered capable of controlling your sessions. See [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for the full trust-boundary and audit policy details. Non-goals: see [docs/non-goals.md](docs/non-goals.md).
