- Complex Workflow Automation: Orchestrate multi-step processes that require simultaneous execution in multiple terminals.
- Persistent Terminal Sessions: Ensure long-running processes continue even when the agent disconnects from the primary session.
- Reproducible Environments: Create and manage consistent development or testing environments within
tmuxsessions.
