rein is a Go library and CLI that gives AI coding agents the four things every agent gets wrong with shell execution: process group isolation (no leaked child processes on agent crash), graceful SIGTERM→SIGKILL shutdown (so database connections aren't dropped), PTY allocation (for 'npm run dev'-style commands), and idle-timeout detection (kills silent stalls on dead TCP). The CLI speaks NDJSON over stdio so any agent framework can drive it, and Python and Node clients are included. Cross-platform: Linux, macOS, Windows (non-PTY sessions; ConPTY is on the v0.2 roadmap). MIT licensed, race-clean test suite, A+ on Go Report Card, CI green on all three platforms. Best fit for the 'Agent infrastructure' section alongside agent-lsp, agenttrace, and gate4agent (which is rein's mirror in Rust).

What
Adds
reinto the Agent infrastructure section.Why this section
rein is a Go library + CLI that gives AI coding agents reliable shell execution. The four problems every agent framework has with shell commands:
npm run devkeeps running, holds the port)vim, REPLs, anything that needs a TTY)rein gives you all four with one API (
rein.Run/rein.Start), plus an overflow policy (Block / DropNewest / DropOldest) for the output channel.The CLI speaks NDJSON over stdio, so any agent framework (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Goose, Aider) can drive it. Python and Node clients are in the repo.
