+			- Starting to get to know `:set-window-option synchronize-panes` which lets me then do `. ~/.zshrc` which I likely need to do once per day in each of my panes.
+			- [[AI]] told me that when you do `:source-file ~/.tmux.conf`, it reloads the config across the entire tmux server. So, in theory, if I had two iterm windows with two tmux sessions and I ran the command in one, it would refresh it in the other. Not yet convinced this is the case, as it's a rather unique model for CLI interactions.

+- # How can I do fire and forget tasks in each CLI AI coding tool like [[Claude Code]], [[CursorAI]], and [[OpenAI/Codex]]?
+	- ## My Notes
+		- In [[Claude Code]], `claude -p "<request>"` runs non-interactively.
+		- Need equivalent "run to completion and exit" flows for `cursor-agent`, `codex` CLI, and similar tools.
+	- ## Answer
+		- [[AI/Response]]
+			- Yes, each has a non-interactive/headless mode:
+			- [[Claude Code]]: `claude -p "<request>"`
+			- [[CursorAI]] (`cursor-agent`): use `--print` (not prompt `-p`), e.g. `cursor-agent --print "<request>"`
+			- [[OpenAI/Codex]]: use `codex exec "<request>"`
+			- Useful automation flags:
+				- `cursor-agent --print --output-format json "<request>"`
+				- `cursor-agent --print --force "<request>"` (auto-approve commands unless denied)
+				- `codex exec --json "<request>"` (JSONL events)
+				- `codex exec --full-auto "<request>"` (low-friction autonomous execution in workspace sandbox)
+			- Notes:
+				- In current `cursor-agent`, `-p` means `--print`; prompt text is positional.
+				- In current `codex`, `exec` is the explicit non-interactive command.
