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 steipete/clawdis at db197f9a8f.

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

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact with the terminal multiplexer tmux, allowing them to manage multiple terminal sessions within a single window. It provides control over session creation, attachment, and detachment, ensuring persistent workflows even after the agent disconnects.

When to use it

  • Managing long-running background processes that need to survive agent reboots or network interruptions.
  • Running parallel development tasks in separate windows without cluttering the user's local terminal.
  • Executing commands remotely on a server where direct SSH access is limited or unstable.
  • Automating complex shell scripts that require multiple concurrent contexts for input and output.

Key capabilities

  • Create new tmux sessions with specific names and configurations.
  • Attach to existing sessions to resume work or inspect running processes.
  • Detach from sessions gracefully, leaving them active in the background.
  • List available sessions and their current status.
  • Send commands directly into attached session panes.

Example prompts

  • "Create a new tmux session named 'dev-env' and start a Python server inside it."
  • "Attach to my existing 'build-server' session and run docker ps."
  • "List all active tmux sessions and detach from any that are currently attached."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the target system has tmux installed before attempting to use this skill, as the agent cannot install it remotely. When sending commands, be cautious with interactive prompts; they may not behave as expected in an automated context.
