Summary
Add six experimental global terminal tools to every Agent. The bundle owns an isolated terminal registry with the platform shell backend; terminals remain Agent-owned. It ships switched off in Web and Desktop. Select it in Plugins to enable it.
Table of Contents
Use this package
In Web or Desktop, open Plugins and enable Persistent terminals in Official. Switch it off to remove its profile layer.
Enabling or disabling the bundle registers or removes its global tools in the running Host, so every Agent sees the change on its next request, in every preset including minimal.

Implementation details — click to expand
cordis.patch.yml inserts the Host group optional-persistent-terminals, which registers the tools in the global tool layer. Later profile patches can override its rows by id. The profile composer owns patch ordering and errors.
Further Exploration
Capability implementation
Model Experience
Indirectly, through the capability implementation, which owns model context and results.
KV Cache effect
The layer adds no request content directly; the capability implementation owns cache effects from tools, prompts, and results. Toggling the bundle changes the tool list of live Sessions, which invalidates their cached request prefix once.
Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- Terminals belong to the Agent that created them. POSIX uses Bash and Windows uses PowerShell; the bundle does not share another terminal registry.
