Patterns for running long-lived processes in tmux. An agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace.

  • Starting dev servers
  • SKILL.md covers Interactive Shell Requirement, Session Naming Convention, Starting Processes and Monitoring Output, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls git, npm and rg
  • Any process expected to outlive the conversation

What it does

Tmux Processes is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Patterns for running long-lived processes in tmux. Use when starting dev servers, watchers, tilt, or any process expected to outlive the conversation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).

It works with tmux and npm. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Starting dev servers
  • Any process expected to outlive the conversation

Example prompts

  • “Use the tmux-processes skill to pattern for running long-lived processes in tmux. An agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace”
  • “/tmux-processes”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • npm
    • rg
    • rails

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tmux Processes loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 195 words (~1,484 tokens).

“Use send-keys pattern for reliable shell initialization. Creating a session spawns an interactive shell automatically. Use send-keys to run commands within that shell, ensuring PATH, direnv, and other initialization runs properly.”
