Manage background coding agents in tmux sessions. An agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills.

What it does

Tmux Agents is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Manage background coding agents in tmux sessions. Spawn Claude Code or other agents, check progress, get results.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `README.md`, `scripts/check.sh` and `scripts/spawn.sh`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM inference and serving. It works with tmux and Ollama. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve LLM inference and serving

Example prompts

  • “/tmux-agents”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • ollama

    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

Tmux Agents loads about 933 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~933

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 197 words (~933 tokens).

“Run coding agents in persistent tmux sessions. They work in the background while you do other things.”
