tmux

combined

Remote-control tmux sessions for interactive CLIs by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output. Expert tmux session, window, and pane management for terminal multiplexing, persistent remote workflows, and shell scripting automation.

When to use

Use when setting up or managing persistent terminal sessions on remote servers
Use when the user needs to run long-running processes that survive SSH disconnects
Use when scripting multi-pane terminal layouts (e.g., logs + shell + editor)
Use when automating `tmux` commands from bash scripts without user interaction

When not to use

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Conflict

The two copies overlap on core tmux commands (sessions, windows, panes, send-keys, capture-pane) but each has material steps the other lacks. The first is a general reference covering session/window/pane management, keybindings, and a full workspace layout script. The second is a narrower, tool-specific skill for remote-controlling interactive CLIs via an isolated socket, with conventions for socket paths, safe literal sends, wait-for-text polling, Python REPL environment variables, and orchestrating multiple coding agents. Crowning one would hide the other's real alternative workflow.
