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 edmundmiller/dotfiles at 5157d263dd.

    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 provides debugging capabilities for Tmux Status Detection, specifically related to integrations like tmux-opencode-integrated. It allows users to retrieve detailed status information from tmux server sessions, windows, and panes to diagnose issues with session state (e.g., incorrect status icons) and test pattern matching used for agent detection. The skill facilitates capturing pane content and checking for specific patterns within that content.

When to use it

This skill is useful in the following scenarios:

  • When tmux status icons are displaying an incorrect state (e.g., showing ERROR when the agent is IDLE).
  • When adding new detection patterns for agents running inside tmux panes.
  • To test pattern matching against real pane content to ensure accurate agent status identification.
  • For general debugging of tmux-opencode-integrated or similar integrations.

Key capabilities

  • Retrieves detailed tmux server status information.
  • Captures raw pane content for inspection.
  • Allows viewing captured content with control characters visible.
  • Checks if a specific pattern exists within the captured pane content.
  • Provides a debug script (requires Nix Python with libtmux) to iterate through sessions, windows and panes to identify agent programs and their status.
  • Includes example pattern testing using regular expressions against sample content.

Example prompts

While this skill doesn't directly respond to natural language prompts, here are some commands that can be executed via an AI agent equipped with it:

  • tmux list-panes -a ... (to list all panes and their associated information)
  • tmux capture-pane -t "main:1" ... | grep -o "pattern" (to check for a specific pattern in a pane's content)
  • /path/to/python3 /tmp/debug_status.py (to execute the debugging script, requiring proper Python environment setup)

Tips & gotchas

  • The debug script requires a Nix Python environment with libtmux installed and configured correctly. Refer to the provided instructions for building and running this script.
  • The skill's functionality is specifically tailored for debugging integrations like tmux-opencode-integrated. General tmux management isn’t supported.
  • Pattern matching relies on regular expressions; understanding regex syntax is helpful for effective use.
