Does it support predefined terminal layouts?

Yes, it supports standard tmux layouts such as even-horizontal, even-vertical, main-horizontal, main-vertical, and tiled.

How does this skill handle users switching panes manually?

The skill follows a critical rule of fetching fresh pane IDs using $TMUX_PANE or tmux display-message immediately before sending commands, preventing race conditions if a user switches focus.

Can I use this to run background tasks?

Yes, it includes patterns for splitting windows and sending keys to specific panes, allowing you to run servers or long-running scripts in the background while you continue working.

What happens if I'm not running tmux?

The skill includes a check to detect the $TMUX environment variable, ensuring that it only attempts to execute tmux-specific commands when a session is active.

生产力与工作流

Automates terminal pane manipulation and window management within tmux sessions for efficient multi-tasking.

关于

This skill provides a standardized framework for managing terminal environments using tmux, allowing Claude to intelligently split windows, resize panes, and send commands to specific terminal contexts. It prioritizes reliability by implementing fresh pane detection using $TMUX_PANE and display-message patterns, ensuring commands are never sent to the wrong terminal even if the user switches focus. It is ideal for developers who need to automate complex layouts, monitor logs in side-panes, or run concurrent processes without leaving their primary CLI interface.
