What it does

Rmux is an agent skill from Helvesec/rmux. Guide for using RMUX with Claude Code, including the tmux-compatible CLI, agent automation waits, the typed SDK, browser web-share, and the rmux claude launcher.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with tmux, Rust, Linux and macOS. The repository describes itself as: Universal Rust multiplexer with a typed SDK — drive any CLI or TUI app from code. Native on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Example prompts

  • “/rmux”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f4571e. 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:

    • cargo

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Rmux loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 490 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 490 words (~1,260 tokens).

“RMUX is a Rust terminal multiplexer with a tmux-compatible CLI, a typed SDK, browser web-share, and a Claude Code launcher. Prefer checking the installed binary instead of assuming a version:”
