SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows for the remote control of tmux sessions, enabling the sending of keystrokes to interactive command-line interfaces and the scraping of pane output, facilitating the management of long-running or interactive processes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive CLI Management: Run and interact with command-line applications in persistent TTY sessions.
  • Output Scraping: Capture and analyze the output of running processes within tmux panes.
  • Parallel Agent Orchestration: Launch and monitor multiple AI agents or coding tasks concurrently in separate tmux panes.

Quick Start

Use the tmux skill to start a new detached session named 'my-session' and run 'htop' inside it.

Frequently Asked Questions about tmux

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I control interactive CLI sessions remotely?▼

You can control interactive CLI sessions remotely by using tmux to inject keystrokes into persistent TTYs and scrape pane output. This allows you to manage long-running or interactive processes without maintaining an active terminal connection.

What is the best way to run multiple AI agents in parallel?▼

The best way to run multiple AI agents in parallel is by orchestrating them across separate tmux panes and windows within a session. This allows concurrent task execution and output monitoring within a single remote environment.

Do I need tmux installed to automate interactive command-line applications?▼

Yes, you need the 'tmux' binary available in your system's PATH to automate interactive command-line applications. This Skill relies on the local tmux installation to execute session commands and manage TTYs.

Can I capture output from a running process in a detached session?▼

Yes, you can capture output from a running process in a detached session through output scraping. The Skill extracts visible text from the target tmux pane, allowing you to analyze the results of long-running commands.

How does keystroke injection work for remote TTY management?▼

Keystroke injection for remote TTY management works by sending specific character sequences directly to a tmux pane. This simulates user input, enabling automated interaction with command-line interfaces that require manual prompts.
