Docs/Terminal

Terminal

Run commands, inspect output, and keep execution connected to the task that requested it.

Run commands

CODVIAN can request terminal access to execute scripts, package commands, builds, tests, and project-specific tools. Review the command and its working directory before allowing execution.

  • Prefer documented project scripts
  • Review destructive commands carefully
  • Check the working directory
  • Read the output before continuing

Use output as context

Terminal output helps the agent identify failures, update its plan, and choose the next verification step. Paste or reference the relevant output when asking for help with a failure.

Example verification

Run the project type check, start the development server, inspect the browser, and report the exact command and result.

Permissions

Terminal access is a permission, not a default assumption. Use Ask or Deny for commands you do not recognize, especially installers, shell downloads, and broad file operations.
