auto-kill-terminal

auto-kill-terminal provides copy-paste configuration rules to prevent AI agents like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini, Cursor, and Windsurf from leaving orphaned terminal sessions. The tool addresses a common problem where agents spawn terminals but never clean them up, causing ghost processes, timeouts, and wasted API calls in development environments.

The solution consists of five bullet-point rules that can be added to agent instruction files. It includes setup guides for different agents, example configurations, and templates for GitHub Codespaces and dev containers. The project is distributed as an npm package with documentation and copy-paste snippets for quick integration.
