Barista 9000 is an interactive coffee-ordering CLI from PayPal's Cafe repository, used as a workshop challenge for adapting terminal applications to AI agents. It presents prompts, arrow-key choices, and follow-up questions whose available options can depend on earlier answers or live API responses. The workshop discusses connecting an agent through tmux sessions that send keys and capture terminal state, IPC side channels that expose structured JSON, and context injection that makes choices and constraints explicit.
