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
status the worker; do not intervene mid-run.
- Only proceed when the worker is at a prompt or explicitly idle.
- Prefer in-session resets
- Use
%reset to reset the conversation state.
- Use
%undo to revert the last step.
- Use
%retry to rerun the last step.
Core % Commands (Open Interpreter)
Use %help to see the full list. Common commands:
%reset reset the conversation.
%undo undo the last action.
%retry retry the last action.
%verbose toggle verbose output.
%tokens show token usage.
%editor open the editor for the current session.
%history / %messages view conversation history.
%logs / %debug show logs and debug info.
%multi_line / %paste handle multi-line input.
%profiles / %profile manage profiles.
%list list available commands.
%clear clear the screen.
Launch (Shell)
interpreter starts the CLI.
interpreter --help shows available flags and options.
Guardrails
- Do not restart mid-run.
- Prefer
%reset or %undo over full restarts when possible.
- If the worker is not Open Interpreter, switch to the model-specific runtime skill instead.
