SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

cmux customization can be tedious and risky when you need to update user-facing actions, workspace layouts, tab bar buttons, dock controls, and routing without breaking the rest of the configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • User-facing cmux wiring: Define and adjust actions in cmux.json so they appear in the Command Palette, tab bar buttons, shortcuts, and plus-button menus.
  • Workspace layout control: Configure commands with workspace definitions to open deliberate multi-pane layouts (terminals, browsers, SSH sessions, and more).
  • UI and control surface updates: Set ui.newWorkspace behavior and ui.surfaceTabBar.buttons, and manage side-bar terminal controls via .cmux/dock.json or ~/.config/cmux/dock.json.
  • Safe, validated editing workflow: Inspect existing config, back up before changes, apply smallest diffs, validate via helper tools where available, and reload after success.

Quick Start

Use the cmux-customization skill to update your project-local .cmux/cmux.json (and .cmux/dock.json if needed) for the specific behaviors you want, then reload with cmux reload-config.

Customize cmux tab bar buttons and plus-button menus by editing the `actions` array in `.cmux/cmux.json`. This adds entries to the Command Palette, tab bar buttons, shortcuts, and plus-button menus.

How can I configure multi-pane workspace layouts for terminals and browsers in cmux?▼

What is the safest way to edit cmux configuration without breaking existing settings?▼

Where do I configure dock controls for side-bar terminals in cmux?▼

You configure dock controls for side-bar terminals in cmux by editing either the project-local `.cmux/dock.json` file or the global `~/.config/cmux/dock.json` file, depending on whether you want project-specific or system-wide behavior.

How do I apply changes to cmux.json after updating actions and UI controls?▼

After updating actions and UI controls in `cmux.json`, you apply the changes by running the `cmux reload-config` command. This reload steps ensures your new workspace layouts, tab bar buttons, and dock controls take effect.

Can I wire browser routing and notification behavior into cmux workspace layouts?▼

Yes, you can wire browser routing and notification behavior into cmux workspace layouts. By customizing the `actions` and `commands` in `cmux.json`, you configure specific routing and notification workflows for your project.
