What It Does

Many powerful CLI tools require human interaction - vim waits for keystrokes, git rebase -i opens an editor, apt asks for confirmation, TUI applications respond to keyboard input. These tools can't be automated with simple shell scripts because they:

interminai solves this by wrapping any interactive program in a pseudo-terminal (PTY), capturing its screen output as text, and providing a simple API to send input and read the display. This allows AI agents, scripts, or automated systems to interact with vim, git, debuggers, configuration wizards, and any other interactive terminal application.
