What is Open Relay and how do I install it?

Open Relay (oly) is a Rust CLI for supervising official AI tool sessions — persistent, remote, federated. Install via `npm i -g @slaveoftime/oly` or `cargo install oly`.

Will Official CLI + Open Relay replace third-party wrappers completely?

Yes, for sustainability — zero ban risk, full persistence. Wrappers can't compete long-term.

Can Open Relay work with any official AI CLI ?

Absolutely: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, Qwen Code — any PTY-based official tool.
