Inspecting & Sending Across Panes

#070 0:23 Part of the Rysh video series

Your agent can read another pane's state and even type into it -- with approval.

Inspecting & Sending Across Panes — 0:23 walkthrough

What you'll see

  1. Launch rysh and split a second pane.
  2. In prompt mode, ask the agent to list panes -- the agents_list tool shows every pane and its status.
  3. Ask it to inspect the other pane -- pane_inspect reads that pane's state and recent output.
  4. Ask it to send a command to the other pane -- pane_send injects input and requires approval; press y.

0:00Your agent can read another pane's state and even type into it -- with approval.

0:03Start rysh and split a second pane so the agent has a neighbor to inspect and drive.

0:09From prompt mode, ask the agent who else is around. The agents_list tool shows every pane and its status.

0:20Ask it to inspect that other pane. pane_inspect reads the pane's recent output and state without you switching focus.

0:32Now have it send a command into that pane. pane_send injects input -- and because it acts elsewhere, it asks for approval.

0:42Inspect, coordinate, and act across panes -- safely.

Key takeaway
pane_inspect, pane_send, and agents_list let an agent observe and act on other panes, with cross-pane writes gated by approval.
