About This Skill
What it does
The tmux-cli skill allows an AI agent to interact with and manage terminal sessions using the Tmux command-line interface. It enables creating, detaching from, reattaching to, and listing existing tmux sessions. This is useful for managing multiple terminal workflows within a single window or across different environments.
When to use it
- Remote development: An agent can create and manage separate terminal sessions on a remote server for various tasks like compiling code, running tests, and deploying applications.
- Workflow organization: The skill allows an agent to organize complex workflows by creating distinct tmux sessions for different stages of a project.
- Persistent sessions: The agent can detach from long-running processes within a tmux session, ensuring they continue executing even when the AI agent is idle or disconnected.
- Session management: An agent can list existing sessions and reattach to specific ones based on their names or IDs.
Key capabilities
- Creating new Tmux sessions
- Listing existing Tmux sessions
- Detaching from a Tmux session
- Reattaching to an existing Tmux session
Example prompts
- "Create a new tmux session named 'dev'"
- "List all active tmux sessions."
- "Detach from the tmux session called 'build'."
Tips & gotchas
- Requires that
tmuxis installed on the system where the AI agent is operating. - The skill relies on accurate session names for reattaching, so ensure consistent naming conventions are used.
