name: open-interpreter-runtime description: "Open Interpreter runtime/session control: use Open Interpreter CLI % commands and shell flags to manage sessions and context in a worker terminal. Trigger when the controller needs to operate Open Interpreter like a human."
Open Interpreter Runtime
Overview
Operate the Open Interpreter CLI safely: manage session state, verbosity, and context from a worker terminal.
Session Safety
- Confirm idle state
- Snapshot and/or
statusthe worker; do not intervene mid-run. - Only proceed when the worker is at a prompt or explicitly idle.
- Prefer in-session resets
- Use
%resetto reset the conversation state. - Use
%undoto revert the last step. - Use
%retryto rerun the last step.
Core % Commands (Open Interpreter)
Use %help to see the full list. Common commands:
%resetreset the conversation.%undoundo the last action.%retryretry the last action.%verbosetoggle verbose output.%tokensshow token usage.%editoropen the editor for the current session.%history/%messagesview conversation history.%logs/%debugshow logs and debug info.%multi_line/%pastehandle multi-line input.%profiles/%profilemanage profiles.%listlist available commands.%clearclear the screen.
Launch (Shell)

Guardrails
- Do not restart mid-run.
- Prefer
%resetor%undoover full restarts when possible. - If the worker is not Open Interpreter, switch to the model-specific runtime skill instead.
