Shell Integration

BIGGI runs shell commands through the runtime bundled with the VS Code extension. It starts and manages processes directly, so it does not depend on VS Code terminal shell integration.

Behavior

• The runtime selects a compatible shell available on your system.
• Commands run with the workspace as their working directory unless a tool specifies another directory.
• Output streams back to the extension.
• Command permissions follow your agent permission rules.

Troubleshooting

If a command cannot start:

1. Confirm a supported shell such as bash or zsh is installed and available on PATH.
2. Confirm the shell has execute permission.
3. Check the BIGGI output channel in VS Code for the detected shell and startup error.
