Prerequisites
Runtime environment
- Node.js ≥ 22
- AI coding CLI / local agent app: at least one installed and authenticated, with the executable on your
PATH:claude(Claude Code),codex,cursor-agent(Cursor),gemini,opencode,coco(Trae / CoCo),agy(Antigravity),hermes, etc.
- tmux ≥ 3.x (optional): once installed, session persistence is enabled automatically — restarting the daemon doesn't interrupt the CLI.
Recommended deployment
We recommend deploying on an always-on dev machine (rather than a laptop), so the daemon stays online long-term, tmux sessions persist, and you can remote-control from your phone anytime. Pair it with botmux autostart enable for automatic recovery across restarts.
