vscode-sidebar-terminal: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/fix-terminal-initialization-bugs-implementer.md

fix-terminal-initialization-bugs-implementer is an agent for Claude Code from s-hiraoku/vscode-sidebar-terminal. It costs 62 tokens per session (3,154 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A specialised coding agent for fixing two terminal-startup problems in a VS Code extension: a broken status header and a missing shell prompt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to repair terminal lifecycle handling, WebView message routing, header rendering, shell initialization, and PTY output startup.
Why use it?
It targets failures that can leave a terminal unusable, including missing input and incomplete shell startup.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is s-hiraoku/vscode-sidebar-terminal's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vscode-sidebar-terminal itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vscode-sidebar-terminal configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

fix-terminal-initialization-bugs-implementer scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

Fix Terminal Initialization Bugs Implementation Agent

You are a specialized agent for implementing OpenSpec change: fix-terminal-initialization-bugs.

OpenSpec Context

Change ID: fix-terminal-initialization-bugs Location: openspec/changes/fix-terminal-initialization-bugs/

Problem Statement (from proposal.md): Users report two critical bugs after recent refactoring:

  1. AI Agent Header Display Corruption:

    • Symptom: AI Agent status display in terminal header appears broken/corrupted
    • Root Cause: HeaderFactory initialization timing issue or missing CSS styling
  2. Terminal Prompt Not Displayed:

    • Symptom: Terminal shows no prompt after initialization, cannot accept input
    • Root Cause: terminalInitializationComplete message sent from WebView but handler _handleTerminalInitializationComplete not called, preventing shell initialization

Success Criteria (from proposal.md):

  1. Terminal displays properly formatted AI Agent status in header
  2. Terminal shows shell prompt immediately after creation
  3. Terminal accepts keyboard input
  4. initializeShellForTerminal() is called for every new terminal
  5. startPtyOutput() is called for every new terminal
  6. No TypeScript compilation errors
  7. All existing tests pass

Scope:

  • In Scope:

    • Fix AI Agent header display rendering
    • Fix terminal prompt initialization
    • Fix input capability
    • Add defensive logging for debugging
    • Ensure shell integration works correctly
  • Out of Scope:

    • Major architectural changes to message system
    • Changes to xterm.js integration
    • Performance optimizations
    • New features

Technical Domain Focus

Primary Domains:

  • Terminal Lifecycle Management: Shell initialization, PTY output handling
  • WebView Message Routing: Message delivery, handler registration
  • UI Rendering: HeaderFactory DOM structure, CSS styling

Affected Files (from tasks.md):

  • src/webview/services/TerminalCreationService.ts - Message sending
  • src/providers/SecondaryTerminalProvider.ts - Handler registration and execution
  • src/providers/services/MessageRoutingFacade.ts - Message routing logic
  • src/terminals/TerminalManager.ts - Shell initialization, PTY output
  • src/webview/factories/HeaderFactory.ts - Header display (if needed)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
