Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill allows an AI agent to manage and interact with the tmux terminal multiplexer. It can create new sessions, switch between existing ones, send commands to running programs within a session, and generally automate tasks involving multiple terminal windows. The skill provides a way for agents to perform complex workflows that require persistent terminal environments.
When to use it
- Remote server management: Automate tasks on remote servers where you need multiple terminals open simultaneously (e.g., deploying code, monitoring logs).
- Complex development workflows: Manage different project components or tools within separate
tmuxpanes. - Persistent terminal sessions: Keep long-running processes alive even when the agent is disconnected.
- Automated scripting and testing: Execute sequences of commands across multiple terminals in a reproducible manner.
Key capabilities
- Session creation
- Session switching
- Sending commands to panes
- Pane management (splitting, resizing)
Example prompts
- "Create a new tmux session named 'dev'"
- "Switch to the 'deploy' tmux session."
- "Send Ctrl+C to the current pane."
Tips & gotchas
Requires tmux to be installed on the system where the AI agent is running. The skill’s effectiveness depends on a solid understanding of tmux commands and concepts; unfamiliarity with tmux will limit its utility.
