@theokit/agents-pty

The PTY interactive backend for @theokit/agents.

npm install @theokit/agents-pty

import { PtyInteractiveBackend } from '@theokit/agents-pty'

Why it is a separate install

@theokit/sdk-pty carries a native install step — it downloads a prebuild, or falls back to compiling C++. While it was a hard dependency of @theokit/agents, every application paid that cost, including the web apps that never open a terminal: installing @theokit/agents alone took 6.7 s with it and 1.4 s without, and in a scaffolded app that was most of the gap in time to first green run.

So it moved here. An application that drives a terminal declares this package; one that does not never compiles it. See usetheokit/theokit#460.

Migrating from @theokit/agents/pty

The subpath is gone. Install this package and change the import — the surface is identical, six symbols, unchanged:

-import { PtyInteractiveBackend } from '@theokit/agents/pty'
+import { PtyInteractiveBackend } from '@theokit/agents-pty'

Nothing else changes. This package re-exports @theokit/sdk-pty whole and adds no wrapper, which is also why you should not import @theokit/sdk-pty directly: an application takes its primitives from the @theokit/* layer, and this package is that layer for the PTY backend.
