Transcript

0:00Send a headless agent's replies straight into a pane you can watch.

0:03Launch rysh and give this pane a name with ##pane name -- that's where we'll route the agent's output.

0:08Spawn an agent. Normally its output stays in the background -- it has no pane of its own.

0:16Register its output to a pane and every reply lands in that pane's chat buffer -- a live feed of the agent's work.

0:26When you're done watching, ##agent unregister-output stops the routing. The agent keeps running -- you just stop tailing it here.

0:34register-output turns any pane into a dashboard for your background agents.

Key takeaway
##agent register-output <agent> <pane> routes a headless agent's output into a pane's chat buffer; unregister-output stops it.
