Transcript

0:00Drive a running session from the outside -- no attach required.

0:05rysh send delivers input to a session's active pane. Here we run ls -la in my-session without attaching.

0:15Add --pane with a pane ID to target one exact pane.

0:24Use --mode prompt to send an AI prompt instead of a command -- the agent in that pane handles it.

0:34Or --mode shell to run a command explicitly. Omit --mode and Rysh uses the pane's current mode.

Key takeaway

rysh send injects commands or prompts into any pane of a running session without opening its TUI.
