summary

Deterministic control of cmux window, workspace, pane, and surface topology for multi-pane layout automation.

›Commands cover window and workspace creation, pane splitting, surface movement and reordering, focus routing, and visual attention cues via flash triggers
›Uses short reference handles (window:N, workspace:N, pane:N, surface:N) by default; supports UUID input and output when needed
›Designed for automation workflows requiring precise, repeatable placement and navigation across

skill.md

cmux Core Control

Use this skill to control non-browser cmux topology and routing.

Core Concepts

Window: top-level macOS cmux window.
Workspace: tab-like group within a window.
Pane: split container in a workspace.
Surface: a tab within a pane (terminal or browser panel).

Fast Start

# identify current caller context
cmux identify --json

# list topology
cmux list-windows
cmux list-workspaces
cmux list-panes
cmux list-pane-surfaces --pane pane:1

# create/focus/move
cmux new-workspace
cmux new-split right --panel pane:1
cmux move-surface --surface surface:7 --pane pane:2 --focus true
cmux reorder-surface --surface surface:7 --before surface:3

# attention cue
cmux trigger-flash --surface surface:7

Handle Model

Default output uses short refs: window:N, workspace:N, pane:N, surface:N.
UUIDs are still accepted as inputs.
Request UUID output only when needed: --id-format uuids|both.

Useful defaults in cmux — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.

I recommend cmux for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
