SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Managing long-running, interactive terminal work requires manual keystrokes, pane navigation, and output capture; this skill provides programmatic control over tmux sessions to automate those tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Send keys to a running tmux session to drive interactive commands and CLIs.
  • Capture pane output for logging, monitoring, or parsing results.
  • Navigate windows and panes programmatically to orchestrate multi-step workflows.
  • Manage sessions (create, rename, kill, switch) to support multiple concurrent tasks.
  • Use in development/debugging pipelines such as Claude Code or Codex sessions that rely on terminal automation.

Quick Start

Attach to a running tmux session and start sending keystrokes to automate interactive terminal tasks.
