What it does
Using Tmux For Interactive Commands is an agent skill from obra/superpowers-lab. Use when you need to run interactive CLI tools (vim, git rebase -i, Python REPL, etc.) that require real-time input/output - provides tmux-based approach for controlling interactive sessions through detached sessions and send-keys
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `tmux-wrapper.sh`).
It sits in Development. It works with tmux, Git and Python. The repository describes itself as: Experimental skills for Claude Code Superpowers - new techniques and tools. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- You need to run interactive CLI tools (vim
Example prompts
- “/using-tmux-for-interactive-commands”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Create detached session with the interactive command
- Wait briefly for initialization (100-500ms depending on command)
- Send input using send-keys (can send special keys like Enter, Escape)
- Capture output using capture-pane -p to see current screen state
- Repeat steps 3-4 as needed
- Terminate session when done
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51111f7. 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
Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitbash
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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
Using Tmux For Interactive Commands loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Use when you need to run interactive CLI tools (vim, git rebase -i, Python REPL, etc.) that require real-time input/output - provides tmux-based approach for controlling interactive sessions through detached sessions and send-keys
Using tmux for Interactive Commands
Overview
Interactive CLI tools (vim, interactive git rebase, REPLs, etc.) cannot be controlled through standard bash because they require a real terminal. tmux provides detached sessions that can be controlled programmatically via send-keys and capture-pane.
When to Use
Use tmux when:
- Running vim, nano, or other text editors programmatically
- Controlling interactive REPLs (Python, Node, etc.)
- Handling interactive git commands (
git rebase -i,git add -p) - Working with full-screen terminal apps (htop, etc.)
- Commands that require terminal control codes or readline
Don't use for:
- Simple non-interactive commands (use regular Bash tool)
- Commands that accept input via stdin redirection
- One-shot commands that don't need interaction
Quick Reference
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Start session | tmux new-session -d -s <name> <command> |
| Send input | tmux send-keys -t <name> 'text' Enter |
| Capture output | tmux capture-pane -t <name> -p |
| Stop session | tmux kill-session -t <name> |
| List sessions | tmux list-sessions |
Core Pattern
Before (Won't Work)
# This hangs because vim expects interactive terminal
bash -c "vim file.txt"After (Works)
# Create detached tmux session
tmux new-session -d -s edit_session vim file.txt
# Send commands (Enter, Escape are tmux key names)
tmux send-keys -t edit_session 'i' 'Hello World' Escape ':wq' Enter
# Capture what's on screen
tmux capture-pane -t edit_session -p
# Clean up
tmux kill-session -t edit_sessionImplementation
Basic Workflow
- Create detached session with the interactive command
- Wait briefly for initialization (100-500ms depending on command)
- Send input using
send-keys(can send special keys like Enter, Escape) - Capture output using
capture-pane -pto see current screen state - Repeat steps 3-4 as needed
- Terminate session when done
Special Keys
Common tmux key names:
Enter- Return/newlineEscape- ESC keyC-c- Ctrl+CC-x- Ctrl+XUp,Down,Left,Right- Arrow keysSpace- Space barBSpace- Backspace

Working Directory
Specify working directory when creating session:
tmux new-session -d -s git_session -c /path/to/repo git rebase -i HEAD~3Helper Wrapper
For easier use, see /home/jesse/git/interactive-command/tmux-wrapper.sh:
# Start session
/path/to/tmux-wrapper.sh start <session-name> <command> [args...]
# Send input
/path/to/tmux-wrapper.sh send <session-name> 'text' Enter
# Capture current state
/path/to/tmux-wrapper.sh capture <session-name>
# Stop
/path/to/tmux-wrapper.sh stop <session-name>Common Patterns
Python REPL
tmux new-session -d -s python python3 -i
tmux send-keys -t python 'import math' Enter
tmux send-keys -t python 'print(math.pi)' Enter
tmux capture-pane -t python -p # See output
tmux kill-session -t pythonVim Editing
tmux new-session -d -s vim vim /tmp/file.txt
sleep 0.3 # Wait for vim to start
tmux send-keys -t vim 'i' 'New content' Escape ':wq' Enter
# File is now savedInteractive Git Rebase
tmux new-session -d -s rebase -c /repo/path git rebase -i HEAD~3
sleep 0.5
tmux capture-pane -t rebase -p # See rebase editor
# Send commands to modify rebase instructions
tmux send-keys -t rebase 'Down' 'Home' 'squash' Escape
tmux send-keys -t rebase ':wq' EnterCommon Mistakes
Not Waiting After Session Start
Problem: Capturing immediately after new-session shows blank screen
Fix: Add brief sleep (100-500ms) before first capture
tmux new-session -d -s sess command
sleep 0.3 # Let command initialize
tmux capture-pane -t sess -pForgetting Enter Key
Problem: Commands typed but not executed
Fix: Explicitly send Enter
tmux send-keys -t sess 'print("hello")' Enter # Note: Enter is separate argumentUsing Wrong Key Names
Problem: tmux send-keys -t sess '\n' doesn't work
Fix: Use tmux key names: Enter, not \n
tmux send-keys -t sess 'text' Enter # ✓
tmux send-keys -t sess 'text\n' # ✗Not Cleaning Up Sessions
Problem: Orphaned tmux sessions accumulate
Fix: Always kill sessions when done
tmux kill-session -t session_name
# Or check for existing: tmux has-session -t name 2>/dev/nullReal-World Impact
- Enables programmatic control of vim/nano for file editing
- Allows automation of interactive git workflows (rebase, add -p)
- Makes REPL-based testing/debugging possible
- Unblocks any tool that requires terminal interaction
- No need to build custom PTY management - tmux handles it all
