Does it support Zellij plugin development?

Absolutely. It provides scaffolding and guidance for building custom Zellij plugins using Rust and the WASM target, including toolchain verification for cargo and rustup.

Can this skill help me migrate from tmux?

Yes, the Zellij Specialist includes workflow integration patterns specifically designed to assist with tmux migration and mapping existing tmux behaviors to Zellij.

Can it search for existing community layouts?

Yes, the skill follows a community-informed design principle, searching GitHub for established layouts and plugins to avoid reinventing existing solutions.

How does it handle layout configurations?

It utilizes the KDL (Document Language) format to design version-controlled, modular layouts that are composable and reproducible across different development environments.

Zellij is a modern terminal multiplexer and workspace manager that provides a user-friendly interface for managing panes, tabs, and plugins within a single terminal window.
