How do I save a layout for future use?

After creating a session, Muxy will offer to save the configuration as a YAML template in your local config directory for instant recall later.

Does Muxy require an existing tmux installation?

Yes, Muxy works by interfacing with a tmux MCP server, which requires tmux to be installed on your host system.

What happens if Muxy gets a project path wrong?

Muxy always displays a preview table before executing any commands, allowing you to review and adjust inferred paths or window names for accuracy.

Can I create complex layouts with multiple panes?

Yes, Muxy supports vertical and horizontal splits, allowing you to define specific paths and startup commands for every pane in your session.

Can I use Muxy to manage existing sessions?

Absolutely. You can list active sessions, kill specific ones, or capture pane content directly through natural language requests.
