At a glance

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.

  • Works in 3 steps: skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh… → skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh… → skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh…
  • Reading recent output from one or many tmux panes at once
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Not For / Boundaries, Quick Reference and Rules & Constraints, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls bash, git and codex

What it does

The skill prefers a bundled auto-tmux.sh wrapper over raw tmux commands for reading a pane's recent output, sending keystrokes, batch-inspecting several panes, and rescuing or recording a stuck terminal, falling back to native tmux commands such as capture-pane and send-keys only when needed. A separate swarm-state.sh script manages a task queue, locks, status and results for coordinating multiple AI terminals, and the skill ships a vendored copy of the oh-my-tmux configuration under assets so its double-prefix shortcuts and pane sync commands are available without touching the user's own tmux config.

Stated boundaries: it does not create a session, window or pane that does not already exist, it never edits ~/.tmux.conf directly (changes go in .tmux.conf.local per oh-my-tmux convention), it will not blindly send destructive keys such as kill-server without first capturing the pane to confirm context, and it treats scripts as a convenience, not a way around requiring human confirmation for sensitive sessions, password entry or production database work. It also calls for upgrading tmux first if the installed version is older than 2.6.

When your agent uses it

  • Reading recent output from one or many tmux panes at once
  • Sending confirmation keystrokes or commands to a specific pane safely
  • Coordinating several AI agent terminals through a shared task queue
  • Rescuing a stuck tmux pane without guessing at its current state

Example prompts

  • “Capture the last 120 lines from the build pane and tell me if it finished.”
  • “Send make test to the worker pane and press Enter.”
  • “Set up a swarm task queue across the three AI terminals in this session.”

Requirements

  • tmux 2.6 or later
  • Bash

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh topology 找到目标 :.。
  2. skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh rescue -t --pattern "(y/n)" --reply y --dry-run 确认命中。
  3. skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh rescue -t --pattern "(y/n)" --reply y 发送确认。

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b76a8f. 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 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • git
    • codex

    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

Auto tmux Operator loads about 4.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 751 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~25k

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.

tmux 自动化操控:用 scripts/auto-tmux.sh 安全读取、发送、巡检、救援、录制 session|window|pane,用 swarm-state.sh 管理蜂群任务/锁/状态,并基于 oh-my-tmux 组织多 AI 终端协作。触发:capture-pane、send-keys、批量巡检、蜂群 AI 协作、卡死救援、tmux 工作台初始化。

auto-tmux Skill

让 AI 像熟练运维一样操作 tmux:优先使用 scripts/auto-tmux.sh 安全封装读取终端输出、发送按键、批量巡检、协作/救援其他终端;使用 scripts/swarm-state.sh 管理蜂群任务、锁、状态和结果;必要时再回退到 tmux 原生命令。默认兼容 tools/external/.tmux(gpakosz/oh-my-tmux),并在本技能内通过 assets/oh-my-tmux 与 assets/tmux-src 暴露上游 submodule。

When to Use This Skill

触发条件(满足其一即可):

  • 需要远程读取/复制某个 tmux pane 的最新输出(日志、提示、错误)。
  • 需要向指定 pane 发送按键/命令(确认 y、Enter、Ctrl+C、广播同一窗口)。
  • 需要批量巡检/接管多 AI 终端(蜂群协作、自动救援卡死任务)。
  • 用户显式要求进入 Codex Pilot Mode:让当前主 Codex 通过 tmux 控制一个持久化、交互式、对人类可见的 worker Codex pane。
  • 需要初始化 AI 多终端工作台、等待输出 pattern、录制 pane 日志或保存巡检证据。
  • 需要给 tmux 蜂群建立任务队列、状态日志、文件锁和结果报告。
  • 需要快速回忆 oh-my-tmux 快捷键、前缀或同步面板操作。
  • 需要在当前仓库复用 tools/external/.tmux 配置并避免修改主配置。
  • 需要从技能目录内快速查看 oh-my-tmux 配置或 tmux 上游源码入口。

Not For / Boundaries

  • 不用于执行非 tmux 环境(目标不存在时先创建 session/window/pane)。
  • 不直接编辑 ~/.tmux.conf / .tmux.conf(遵循 oh-my-tmux:修改请放到 .tmux.conf.local)。
  • 不盲发破坏性按键:kill-server、rm -rf 等必须先 capture-pane 确认目标上下文。
  • 不把脚本当成权限绕过器;敏感会话、密码输入、生产数据库操作仍需人工确认。
  • 如果 tmux 版本 < 2.6,需先升级再使用本技能的命令组合。

Rules & Constraints

  • MUST:优先使用 scripts/auto-tmux.sh;直接使用 tmux 原生命令时必须保留同等安全约束。
  • MUST:在发送按键前用 capture-pane 复核目标上下文;按键操作必须带 <session>:<window>.<pane> 绝对定位。
  • MUST:遵循 oh-my-tmux 约定,不修改主配置文件;自定义写入 ~/.tmux.conf.local。
  • MUST:批量操作前先 list-windows/list-panes 建立白名单,避免误控用户窗口。
  • MUST:Codex Pilot Mode 只能在用户显式激活后进入;默认只控制一个持久化 worker Codex pane,且该 pane 必须对人类可见。
  • MUST:Codex Pilot Mode 的 worker 必须是交互式 codex,禁止用无头 codex exec 替代。
  • MUST:SSH/远程场景默认只读,先用 scripts/remote-readonly.sh 采集证据;远程控制必须另行确认,不从只读脚本升级。
  • SHOULD:救援/确认前先 grep 关键词(如 (y/n)、password),只对匹配目标发送。
  • SHOULD:发送完整命令行时避免先发 Escape;先 C-c 中断、C-u 清行,再用 send-keys -l 逐字发送完整命令。
  • SHOULD:长 prompt、文件粘贴、跨 worker 分发前运行 scripts/safety-check.sh,批量发送先 --dry-run。
  • SHOULD:Codex Pilot Mode 中主 Codex 每次发送前先 inspect/capture worker pane,并把需求、上下文、边界、验收和验证命令整理成高质量提示词。
  • SHOULD:pane 处在 Codex UI 时,先发送 /exit 回到 shell 再执行命令。
  • SHOULD:长任务开启 pipe-pane 记录审计;广播完成后立即 synchronize-panes off。
  • SHOULD:多 worker 修改同一文件、目录或服务前,先用 swarm-state.sh lock-acquire 声明锁。
  • SHOULD:批量下发先用 broadcast --dry-run 预览目标,再决定是否真实发送。
  • NEVER:在未知 pane 发送破坏性命令;NEVER 在 root 会话不经确认发送 Ctrl+C/Ctrl+D。

Examples

Example 1:自动给卡住的安装脚本回车确认
  • 输入:安装脚本停在 Proceed? (y/n),先用 topology 找到真实 target。
  • 步骤:
    1. skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh topology 找到目标 <session>:<window>.<pane>。
    2. skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh rescue -t <target> --pattern "(y/n)" --reply y --dry-run 确认命中。
    3. skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh rescue -t <target> --pattern "(y/n)" --reply y 发送确认。
  • 验收:脚本继续运行,无额外多余输入。
Example 2:蜂群巡检 + 自动救援
  • 输入:4 个 AI 终端分布在 session ai-hub 的多个窗口。
  • 步骤:
    1. skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh scan --session ai-hub -n 80 --save-dir /tmp/auto-tmux-scan 收集状态。
    2. 对匹配 "(y/n)" 的 pane 运行 rescue --dry-run,确认后再真实发送。
    3. 对输出包含 Traceback 或 ERROR 的 pane,先 capture-pane 记录再人工介入。
  • 验收:等待确认的终端恢复,未误伤正常任务;巡检日志保存在本地。
Example 3:快速搭建 oh-my-tmux AI 工作台
  • 输入:需要 1 个指挥 + 3 个 worker,并使用仓库内 oh-my-tmux 配置。
  • 步骤:
    1. 运行「启用 oh-my-tmux 配置」片段完成软链和本地副本(若已存在跳过)。
    2. skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh hub --session ai-hub --workers 3 --cmd "codex" 创建 session。
    3. skills/auto-tmux/scripts/auto-tmux.sh topology --session ai-hub 确认 worker 窗口存在。
  • 验收:前缀键为 C-a,状态栏正常;4 个窗口可互相捕获/发送按键。

FAQ

  • Q: 为什么按 C-b 无反应?
    • A: oh-my-tmux 默认主前缀是 C-a,C-b 仅作备用;确保无其他程序占用 C-a。
  • Q: 如何只广播当前窗口而不影响其他窗口?
    • A: 只对当前窗口执行 set-window-option synchronize-panes on,使用完立即关闭。
  • Q: 远程发送命令前如何确认当前工作目录?
    • A: tmux display-message -pt <target> '#{pane_current_path}',必要时先 send-keys 'cd /path' Enter。

Troubleshooting

  • no such session/window/pane → 检查目标名称,先 list-sessions/list-windows 校验再重试。
  • 前缀键冲突 → 查看 ~/.tmux.conf.local 是否改写前缀;可在其中设置 set -g prefix C-b #!important。
  • 状态栏样式错乱/重复 → 按 README 建议用 tmux -f /dev/null -L test 排查;多半是终端宽字符/字体导致。
  • 发送命令没效果 → 目标 pane 可能在 copy-mode;优先用 tmux display-message -pt <target> '#{pane_in_mode}' 判断,再用 tmux send-keys -t <target> -X cancel 退出;避免用 Escape(会触发 Meta 前缀,可能吞掉首字符)。

Questions about Auto tmux Operator

What does Auto tmux Operator do?

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. sh wrapper over raw tmux commands for reading a pane's recent output, sending keystrokes, batch-inspecting several panes, and rescuing or recording a stuck terminal, falling back to native tmux commands such as capture-pane and send-keys only when needed.sh script manages a task queue, locks, status and results for coordinating multiple AI terminals, and the skill ships a vendored copy of the oh-my-tmux configuration under assets so its double-prefix shortcuts and pane sync commands are available without touching the user's own tmux config.

When should I use Auto tmux Operator?

Auto tmux Operator fits situations like: reading recent output from one or many tmux panes at once; sending confirmation keystrokes or commands to a specific pane safely; coordinating several AI agent terminals through a shared task queue; rescuing a stuck tmux pane without guessing at its current state.

How do I install Auto tmux Operator in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add tradecatlabs/vibe-coding-cn --skill auto-tmux -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/auto-tmux in tradecatlabs/vibe-coding-cn) into .claude/skills/auto-tmux in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Auto tmux Operator in Codex?

Run `npx skills add tradecatlabs/vibe-coding-cn --skill auto-tmux -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/auto-tmux in tradecatlabs/vibe-coding-cn) into .agents/skills/auto-tmux in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Auto tmux Operator in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add tradecatlabs/vibe-coding-cn --skill auto-tmux -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/auto-tmux, .gemini/skills/auto-tmux, .github/skills/auto-tmux and .opencode/skills/auto-tmux in your project.
