Control tmux sessions by sending keystrokes and reading pane output for interactive CLI management.
Works with
Send text input and special keys (Enter, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+Z) to tmux panes; capture output via capture-pane to monitor long-running processes and interactive prompts
Target sessions, windows, and panes using session:window.pane notation; navigate and manage multiple parallel sessions programmatically
Designed for monitoring Claude Code sessions and approving interactive prompts; sessions p

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiontmuxExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches tmux from steipete/clawdis and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate tmux. Access via /tmux in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

For interactive TUIs (Claude Code, Codex, etc.), split text and Enter into separate sends to avoid paste/multiline edge cases:
tmux send-keys -t shared -l -- "Please apply the patch in src/foo.ts"
sleep 0.1
tmux send-keys -t shared Enter
# Look for prompts
tmux capture-pane -t worker-3 -p | tail -10 | grep -E "❯|Yes.*No|proceed|permission"
# Send 'y' and Enter
tmux send-keys -t worker-3 'y' Enter
# Or select numbered option
tmux send-keys -t worker-3 '2' Enter

Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
