Module prompt 

Prompt detection patterns for agent PTY output.

Each agent family has different output conventions. This module provides compiled regex patterns and a PromptKind classification so the supervisor can decide what to do (auto-answer, escalate, log, etc.).

Design notes

Claude Code and Codex CLI use full-screen TUIs (alternate screen buffer, cursor positioning). Raw PTY scraping sees ANSI escapes, not clean lines. For reliable automation, prefer Claude’s -p --output-format stream-json or Codex’s --full-auto mode. The patterns here target the text content after ANSI stripping for cases where interactive mode is used.

Aider uses a traditional line-oriented interface (prompt_toolkit), making it the most amenable to PTY pattern matching.
