dmux-workflows

A workflow guide for dmux, a tool that manages several AI-agent sessions in terminal panes. It describes splitting work between agents, coordinating different coding tools, and bringing their results back together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run research, implementation, testing, or documentation tasks in parallel across agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Gemini, and Qwen.
Why use it?
It provides patterns for dividing a large development task into parallel pieces while keeping the work coordinated.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dmux-workflows scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

dmux Workflows

Orchestrate parallel AI agent sessions using dmux, a tmux pane manager for agent harnesses.

When to Activate

  • Running multiple agent sessions in parallel
  • Coordinating work across Claude Code, Codex, and other harnesses
  • Complex tasks that benefit from divide-and-conquer parallelism
  • User says "run in parallel", "split this work", "use dmux", or "multi-agent"

What is dmux

dmux is a tmux-based orchestration tool that manages AI agent panes:

  • Press n to create a new pane with a prompt
  • Press m to merge pane output back to the main session
  • Supports: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cline, Gemini, Qwen

Install: Install dmux from its repository after reviewing the package. See github.com/standardagents/dmux

Quick Start

# Start dmux session
dmux

# Create agent panes (press 'n' in dmux, then type prompt)
# Pane 1: "Implement the auth middleware in src/auth/"
# Pane 2: "Write tests for the user service"
# Pane 3: "Update API documentation"

# Each pane runs its own agent session
# Press 'm' to merge results back

Workflow Patterns

Pattern 1: Research + Implement

Split research and implementation into parallel tracks:

Pane 1 (Research): "Research best practices for rate limiting in Node.js.
  Check current libraries, compare approaches, and write findings to
  /tmp/rate-limit-research.md"

Pane 2 (Implement): "Implement rate limiting middleware for our Express API.
  Start with a basic token bucket, we'll refine after research completes."

# After Pane 1 completes, merge findings into Pane 2's context

Pattern 2: Multi-File Feature

Parallelize work across independent files:

Pane 1: "Create the database schema and migrations for the billing feature"
Pane 2: "Build the billing API endpoints in src/api/billing/"
Pane 3: "Create the billing dashboard UI components"

# Merge all, then do integration in main pane

Pattern 3: Test + Fix Loop

Run tests in one pane, fix in another:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dmux-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository JunMystery/Agent-Guidance-Python (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,567 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to dmux-workflows, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
