# Terminal

When the agent runs a command, the Stage opens a terminal and you watch the output stream in — the same shell you can type into yourself.

## A real terminal

The terminal surface hosts a full interactive shell. The agent’s commands run there and you see every line as it happens; you can also click in and run commands yourself in the same working directory. The header shows the current directory and the command being run.

## Streamed output & exit codes

Output is colour-coded by stream — standard output in neutral, errors in red, and the commands themselves prefixed with $. The view sticks to the bottom as new lines arrive, and a finished command shows its exit code: green for success, red for a non-zero exit.

> Always the right machineCommands run where your project lives. Whether the agent runs in the cloud or locally, terminal work is relayed to your device so paths, tools, and environment are exactly what you’d get in your own shell. See autonomy modes for how command approval works.
