This skill documents a practical tmux-based workflow for agents and developers to run detached processes, manage multiple services, capture pane output, and automate long-running tasks. It codifies common tmux commands and patterns into a reference that can be used by agents to control terminal sessions reliably.
Use the tmux skill when you need to run builds, servers, tests, or other long-running processes in the background, capture their output for inspection, or orchestrate multiple services within named sessions. It's especially useful for CI-style automation, debugging, and developer tooling where terminal-level control is required.
Works with agents that can execute shell commands and interact with the filesystem (local automation agents, CI runners, or CLI-focused agent tools).
