SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Remote-control of interactive tmux sessions to drive automated workflows, enabling programmatic session creation, keystroke delivery, and pane content capture for downstream tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session orchestration: create, attach, detach, and manage multiple tmux sessions from automation scripts.
  • Keystroke automation: send keys to specific panes and windows to drive REPLs, CLIs, or coding agents.
  • Pane output harvesting: capture and scrape pane content for monitoring, logging, or decision making.
  • Use Case: coordinate parallel coding agents in separate tmux sessions to run commands and aggregate results in a single workflow.

Quick Start

Create a tmux socket, start a session, and stream commands and pane output to your automation workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate tmux session management from a script?▼

To automate tmux session management, you can use this Skill to programmatically create, attach, detach, and manage multiple interactive sessions. It enables deterministic command execution and socket control directly within your automation scripts.

Can I send keystrokes to a specific tmux pane to drive a CLI?▼

Yes, you can send keystrokes to specific panes and windows to drive interactive REPLs or CLIs. This keystroke automation allows you to control terminal applications and coding agents remotely within your workflows.

What is the best way to capture pane output from multiple tmux sessions?▼

The best way to capture pane output is by using this Skill to harvest and scrape content from specific panes. This allows you to aggregate results from parallel coding agents for monitoring, logging, or downstream decision making.

Do I need tmux installed to use this session orchestration Skill?▼

Yes, you need tmux installed on your system as a strict dependency. This Skill relies on the native tmux binary to manage sockets, sessions, and pane interactions via its included scripts.

How does tmux session orchestration work for multi-agent coding workflows?▼

Session orchestration works by coordinating parallel coding agents in separate tmux sessions to run commands and aggregate results. It manages sockets and pane interactions, enabling deterministic execution across multiple sessions in a single workflow.
