tmux

skill-tmux

A Claude Code plugin that teaches Claude how to remote-control tmux sessions — sending keystrokes, capturing pane output, and driving interactive CLIs like python, gdb, node, etc.

Install

npx skills add ferrants/skill-tmux

Or for a specific project only:

npx skills add ferrants/skill-tmux --scope project

Customize it

Clone the repo and ask your AI coding tool to tailor the skill to your specific workflows:

git clone https://github.com/ferrants/skill-tmux.git

What it does

Once installed, Claude gains the /tmux skill and can automatically:

• Target panes and windows — address any {session}:{window}.{pane}
• Send input safely — literal sends, control keys (C-c, C-d, Escape), and properly quoted commands
• Capture output — scrape pane history for inspection and pattern matching

This is useful when you need Claude to interact with long-running processes, REPLs, debuggers, or anything that requires a persistent terminal session.

Usage

Invoke the skill directly:

/tmux

Or Claude will invoke it automatically when the task involves interactive terminal work.

Requirements

• Claude Code
• tmux installed and available on your PATH
