SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires tmux, and includes scripts (resource) components.

## What problem does it solve? This skill simplifies the management of per-project tmux sessions by providing a consistent, script-driven approach to create, monitor, and attach to sessions via Unix sockets in /tmp.

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session lifecycle management: create, verify, and attach to a tmux session with a standard socket path per project.
  • Status and window visibility: report active windows, their CWDs, and whether a pane is actively running a command.
  • Workflow automation: initialize sessions, spawn windows for tasks, send commands, and poll for completion.
  • Use case: on a development project, initialize a persistent session, run a long-running server in a dedicated window, and monitor progress. ### Quick Start Initialize a session with tmux-create.sh and attach to it using the provided attach command.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate tmux session management for multiple development projects?▼

You can automate tmux session management by using shell scripts to create, verify, and attach to persistent project sessions via Unix sockets in /tmp. This provides a consistent, script-driven approach to orchestrating windows and background tasks.

What is the best way to run and monitor long-running background tasks in a persistent terminal?▼

The best way to monitor long-running background tasks is to initialize a persistent tmux session, spawn a dedicated window for the server task, send commands, and use a polling script to wait for completion while tracking active panes.

Do I need tmux installed locally to use project-scoped terminal session automation?▼

Yes, tmux is a required dependency. You need it installed locally to run the shell-based scripts that manage session lifecycles, standard socket paths per project, and window orchestration.

Can I check the status of active windows and running commands in a tmux session?▼

Yes, you can check session status by running a status script that reports active windows, their current working directories, and whether a specific pane is actively running a command.

How does a script-driven tmux session manager handle socket paths for different projects?▼

A script-driven tmux session manager handles socket paths by assigning a standard Unix socket file in the /tmp directory for each project. This isolates project sessions and allows reliable creation and attachment.

Why use Unix sockets in /tmp for persistent terminal sessions instead of default tmux management?▼

Using Unix sockets in /tmp provides a standardized, per-project socket path for reliable session creation and status polling. This ensures persistent terminal workflows remain organized across multiple concurrent projects.
