Does this skill work on Linux or macOS native terminals?

No, this skill specifically requires Windows Terminal (wt.exe), which is available on Windows and through WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Does it keep me in the same folder when splitting panes?

Yes, the skill automatically applies the -d . flag to every command, ensuring that all new panes or tabs inherit your current working directory.

Will this open a new terminal window every time I use it?

No, the skill is hardcoded to use the -w 0 flag, which ensures that all new panes and tabs are opened within your currently active Windows Terminal window.

Can I use this to open specific WSL distributions like Ubuntu?

Yes, you can request specific profiles. Claude will use the -p flag to launch the requested environment, such as Ubuntu, PowerShell, or any custom profile you have defined.

Productivity & Workflow

Arranges and manages Windows Terminal panes and layouts directly from Claude to optimize your development workspace.

The wt-panes skill allows Claude to programmatically control Windows Terminal layouts using the native wt.exe command-line interface. It enables developers to instantly create complex multi-pane environments, split screens vertically or horizontally, and launch specific shell profiles like WSL or PowerShell without leaving the chat interface. By automating terminal orchestration with precise flags for window targeting and directory persistence, this skill transforms Claude into a powerful workspace architect that sets up your environment exactly how you need it for any given task.
