Documented tools (4)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

exit

the session's process terminates (after :q, ctrl+d, …).

idle

/ stablescreen — output goes quiet / the rendered text stops changing for idlems. Best-effort: continuously-animating UIs (spinners, progress bars, htop) never settle, so these run to timeout — which still returns the current screen, plus a hint to switch to a pattern wait.

pattern

(default) — a regex appears on screen: the reliable primitive when you know what you're waiting for.

pattern_gone

the regex stops matching: wait for a spinner/dialog/just-deleted row to clear without racing the redraw.
