ChannelTerm v0.2.0

Full Changelog: v0.1.1...v0.2.0

ChannelTerm v0.2.0

Share one terminal session between humans and AI. This release adds shared SSH terminals, SFTP/SCP file transfers, and a standalone Agent Skills package.

What’s new

• Shared SSH terminals: Connect to a remote host and access the same session from additional terminals or MCP clients. The remote PTY resizes with the terminal that opened the connection.
• SSH authentication and host verification: Sign in with a password or private key, including encrypted keys. Confirm the host fingerprint on first connection; connections are rejected if a previously trusted host key has changed.
• SFTP and SCP file transfers: Upload and download files or directories, track transfer progress, and optionally verify file contents with SHA-256. SFTP also supports remote file management and staged replacement of existing files.
• Improved MCP integration: Tool titles, behavior annotations, output schemas, and server instructions help AI clients choose and use tools correctly.
• Standalone Skills package: The bundled cterm-serial-debug skill guides AI agents through shared serial debugging workflows for MCUs and embedded Linux devices.

Downloads and installation

• Prebuilt binaries are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS on amd64 and arm64.
• To install the skill, download channelterm_skills_0.2.0.zip, extract it, and copy the entire cterm-serial-debug directory into your AI client’s Skills directory.
• The Skills package does not include the ChannelTerm executable or configure the MCP connection.
• Use the included SHA256SUMS file to verify your downloads.
