38 pages under docs/, written against the source rather than the README: config keys and their clamps from core::config, default keybindings from ui::keymap, every CLI verb and flag from tty7-cli, agent aliases and hook/fork/resume support from core::cli_agent, and Settings paths taken from the actual en-US strings. docs/features.md and its zh-CN translation are retired — everything in them now lives in a page of its own, plus the two things they carried that nothing else did (IME input, the performance notes). README and README.zh-CN point at docs/ instead. Screenshots and videos are placeholders for now: docs/images/placeholder.svg with a caption naming what each shot should be.

title: "Status and notifications"
|
|
description: "Installing the hooks, reading the dots, and being told when an agent needs you."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
An agent working for two minutes and an agent that stopped ninety seconds ago
|
|
waiting for permission look identical from outside. tty7 fixes that by letting
|
|
the agent say which one it is.
|
|
|
|
## Installing the hooks
|
|
|
|
**Settings → Agents** lists every agent that can report status, with an
|
|
**Install** button beside each:
|
|
|
|
| Agent | |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| Claude Code · Codex · Copilot · OpenCode · Pi · Grok · Oh My Pi | Hooks available |
|
|
| Gemini · Aider · Amp · Cursor · Goose · Droid · Auggie · Hermes · Vibe · Antigravity · Qwen Code | Detected and labelled, but no status channel yet |
|
|
|
|
Installing writes into that agent's own configuration directory and can be
|
|
undone from the same row — the button becomes **Uninstall**, and reads
|
|
**Outdated** with an **Update** when tty7 ships a newer hook.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
The hooks only do anything inside tty7. Running the same agent in another
|
|
terminal is unaffected.
|
|
</Note>
|
|
|
|
Connected [remote machines](/remote/workspaces) get their own row, so an agent
|
|
running on a dev box reports status to the window you are watching it from.
|
|
|
|
## The status dot
|
|
|
|
Every tab chip and sidebar row carries a dot:
|
|
|
|
| Dot | Meaning |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| 🔵 **Blue** | Working |
|
|
| 🟠 **Amber** | Needs your input — a permission prompt, a question |
|
|
| 🟢 **Green** | Done with this turn |
|
|
|
|
<Frame caption="Placeholder — screenshot: three sidebar rows, one working, one waiting, one done">
|
|
<img src="/images/placeholder.svg" alt="Agent status dots" />
|
|
</Frame>
|
|
|
|
The same three states are what `tty7 agents` reports as `running` / `waiting` /
|
|
`idle`, and what [`tty7 wait`](/agents/orchestration) blocks on.
|
|
|
|
## Notifications
|
|
|
|
Two, both following your **Settings → Window & Tabs → Notifications** policy:
|
|
|
|
- **"needs your permission…"** the moment an agent blocks on you
|
|
- **"finished after 42s"** at the end of a turn
|
|
|
|
Which means that by default — *When unfocused* — you are told the instant you
|
|
are the bottleneck, and left alone while you are watching.
|
|
|
|
## The tray icon
|
|
|
|
tty7 keeps a status item in the system tray (menu bar on macOS). It flips to an
|
|
attention state the moment *any* agent anywhere needs input, so you can see it
|
|
without the window in front of you.
|
|
|
|
Its menu lists every agent pane with its brand avatar and status dot — click one
|
|
to reveal it — and also holds the notification policy switch and **Quit and Stop
|
|
Server…**.
|
|
|
|
Turn it off with **Settings → Window & Tabs → Show tray icon**
|
|
(`show_tray_icon: false`).
|
|
|
|
## Sending an agent some context
|
|
|
|
Two command-palette entries hand what is in front of you to the agent running in
|
|
the pane, as a ready-made prompt:
|
|
|
|
| Command | Sends |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| **Agent: Send Selection** | The current terminal selection |
|
|
| **Agent: Send Git Diff for Review** | The repository's `git diff` |
|
|
|
|
If nothing recognisable is running, tty7 says *"No running coding agent found"*
|
|
rather than typing into your shell.
