Can I control existing terminal sessions with this skill?

Yes, the skill provides tools to list, find, and send commands to active tmux sessions using their unique session IDs and names.

What is the purpose of the BEADS_WORKING_DIR variable?

It is used during worktree setup to ensure that MCP tools in a new worktree can still find and communicate with the main project's database for context.

How does this skill help with parallel development?

It allows Claude to spawn new terminal tabs in isolated Git worktrees, enabling multiple AI agents or tasks to run concurrently without file conflicts.

TabzChrome is a Chrome extension that provides a persistent sidebar for managing tmux sessions, which can be controlled programmatically via a REST API.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates parallel terminal sessions and tmux workers via a REST API to scale development workflows.

About

This skill integrates Claude with the TabzChrome extension to programmatically manage terminal tabs and tmux sessions directly from your development environment. It enables users and AI agents to spawn new terminal workers, set up isolated Git worktrees for parallel development, and automate session management through a local REST API. It is particularly useful for complex projects requiring multiple concurrent Claude sessions or automated background tasks, allowing for context-aware multitasking without cluttering a single terminal window.

Key Features

Worker lifecycle management including list, find, and kill commands
Automated tmux session management and worker orchestration
Direct prompt injection into active terminal sessions via tmux
Programmatic terminal spawning via REST API
Isolated Git worktree setup for parallel feature development

Use Cases

Scaling a single Claude session into multiple parallel agents for complex refactoring
Managing long-running background workers for testing or data processing tasks
Automating the setup of development environments with specific commands and directories
