Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned ovachiever/droid-tings at 7acd12a754.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to execute interactive terminal commands within a Tmux session, allowing for persistent background processes and efficient window management. It facilitates running long-running tasks without losing context when the agent needs to switch contexts or handle other requests.

When to use it

  • Running long-running scripts or data processing jobs that require a stable session.
  • Managing multiple concurrent development environments within a single terminal instance.
  • Executing commands that require user interaction (like password prompts) while maintaining the agent's active state.
  • Keeping server processes alive in the background without consuming foreground terminal resources.

Key capabilities

  • Session Management: Creates and attaches to Tmux sessions for isolated command environments.
  • Window Control: Navigates between different windows within a session to manage multiple tasks.
  • Command Execution: Runs interactive shell commands directly inside the Tmux pane.
  • Persistence: Maintains running processes even if the agent pauses or switches focus.

Example prompts

  • "Start a new Tmux session named 'dev-env' and run python train_model.py in the background."
  • "Switch to the existing 'server' Tmux window and execute systemctl status nginx."
  • "Create a Tmux pane, run docker-compose up -d, and keep the output visible for monitoring."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to install and manage Tmux on the host system before attempting these tasks. Be aware that interactive commands may require specific input handling configurations within the Tmux environment to function correctly with an automated agent.
