This Skill solves the difficulty of running interactive command-line sessions remotely while still capturing the resulting output for later processing.
Use Case: When coordinating multiple coding agents (e.g., Codex/Claude Code) for bug fixes, use tmux to feed each agent its task, monitor completion by detecting a prompt, and then retrieve each agent’s final output.
Use the tmux skill to create an isolated tmux socket, start a detached session, send keystrokes to launch an interactive REPL, and capture pane output from the session.

You can automate interactive CLI sessions by using tmux to create a detached session, inject keystrokes via send-keys, and capture pane output with capture-pane for downstream processing. This allows remote control while collecting live terminal output.
Running parallel coding agents is achieved by orchestrating multiple tmux sessions. You can feed each interactive agent its task in a separate session, monitor completion by detecting prompt patterns, and retrieve the final output from each pane.
Prompt detection during terminal automation is handled by capturing recent pane history and polling for specific text patterns. The automation agent reacts when the target interactive prompt appears in the captured output.
Yes, you can send control keys like Ctrl+C to recover unresponsive interactive terminal sessions. tmux send-keys supports injecting common control keys to safely interrupt and recover stuck REPL workflows.
Yes, an isolated tmux socket directory is required. Using an isolated socket ensures safe pane targeting, secure send-keys input injection, and reliable history capture when running interactive command-line workflows remotely.
Limitations of using tmux for remote REPL control include reliance on polling scripts for prompt detection and the need for pattern matching to verify completion. It targets Unix-like systems and requires careful send-keys input injection to avoid terminal corruption.
