Give an agent controlled access to a local tmux terminal bridge so it can run shell commands, capture output, and manage sessions on the user's machine.
The Tmux Bridge skill lets an agent interact with a real local shell through a bridge process that exposes tmux operations over HTTPS. With the bridge running, the agent can list and create tmux sessions, send keystrokes or full commands, capture pane output, and manage session lifecycle. This enables automation tasks that require shell access (running CLIs, inspecting system state, or invoking local tools) while keeping the connection loopback-only and optionally token-protected.
Use this when an agent needs to run commands on the user's machine or monitor long-running local processes, for example: installing or invoking a local CLI, collecting logs, running quick diagnostics, or automating repetitive terminal workflows. It is intended for interactive sessions where the user consents to run the local bridge process.
Agents that can interact with local tools and HTTP-based bridges (agents with tmux/CLI bridge support, local exec-capable assistants). The skill expects a tmux-capable host and a bridge process (node-based) running on localhost.
A tmux bridge skill that gives an agent controlled shell access via a local HTTPS bridge. No bundled scripts — purely a SKILL.md describing setup and usage. Well-documented with clear troubleshooting and security sections. Tied to the 'Pi for Excel' product ecosystem which limits broad applicability. Npx execution pattern is a minor security consideration but the skill itself promotes safe defaults (loopback-only, auth tokens, no shell interpolation).
No scripts to execute; static analysis only. References docs/tmux-bridge-contract.md in frontmatter metadata but the doc is not bundled with the skill.
