Auto tmux Operator
tradecatlabs/vibe-coding-cn
Operates tmux sessions like an administrator: reads pane output, sends keys, inspects many panes at once, and coordinates multiple AI terminals through a swarm state script, built on oh-my-tmux.
Checks status, tails logs, queries the task queue, and starts, stops or restarts the Pilot daemon running on a specific AWS EC2 instance over SSM.

What it does
This skill operates a Pilot daemon that was moved from running locally to a single AWS EC2 instance reached through AWS Systems Manager send-command, under a dedicated AWS profile and region. It starts every check with a zero-cost local status script before touching GitHub's shared quota, and offers a live tmux dashboard reached over SSM to watch the daemon directly.
Beyond status, it tails the daemon's log file with common filters, runs read-only SQLite queries against the daemon's own queue and ledger tables to see what is running or queued, and can stop, start, rebuild, upgrade or restart the daemon - though stop, start and restart are flagged as operator-consent actions that should not be taken autonomously during unattended runs. It also covers shipping files to the box by base64-encoding their contents, since inline heredocs do not survive the SSM command format.
It carries a few warnings specific to this box: never press q or Ctrl-C inside the live tmux session, since that kills the daemon, and never filter queue timestamps as strings across a known cutover date, since older rows use a different timestamp format.
When your agent uses it
- Checking whether the Pilot daemon on the AWS box is healthy
- Reading the Pilot daemon's logs or task queue over SSM
- Restarting or rebuilding the Pilot daemon on its EC2 instance
Example prompts
- “Check the Pilot daemon status on the AWS box.”
- “Tail the last 50 lines of the Pilot daemon's log for rate limit errors.”
- “Show me which tasks are currently running or queued on the box.”
Requirements
- AWS CLI configured with the target profile
- AWS Systems Manager access to the EC2 instance
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 47c307f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashRead
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
awsgitcurlmake
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use aws, git and curl, 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
Pilot AWS Daemon Operations loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,091 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.
