tmux

tmux is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from saolalab/clawforce. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,277 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of tmux, Apache-2.0.

A tool for controlling interactive tmux terminal sessions remotely. Tmux is a terminal program that keeps command-line sessions running and lets you interact with them later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start shells, send keystrokes, inspect terminal output, find sessions, and monitor long-running interactive command-line programs.
Why use it?
It removes the need to stay attached to an interactive terminal while a command runs.

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

tmux 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/find-sessions.sh, scripts/wait-for-text.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

tmux Skill

Use tmux only when you need an interactive TTY. Prefer exec background mode for long-running, non-interactive tasks.

Quickstart (isolated socket, exec tool)

SOCKET_DIR="${CLAWBOT_TMUX_SOCKET_DIR:-${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/clawbot-tmux-sockets}"
mkdir -p "$SOCKET_DIR"
SOCKET="$SOCKET_DIR/clawbot.sock"
SESSION=clawbot-python

tmux -S "$SOCKET" new -d -s "$SESSION" -n shell
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION":0.0 -- 'PYTHON_BASIC_REPL=1 python3 -q' Enter
tmux -S "$SOCKET" capture-pane -p -J -t "$SESSION":0.0 -S -200

After starting a session, always print monitor commands:

To monitor:
  tmux -S "$SOCKET" attach -t "$SESSION"
  tmux -S "$SOCKET" capture-pane -p -J -t "$SESSION":0.0 -S -200

Socket convention

  • Use CLAWBOT_TMUX_SOCKET_DIR environment variable.
  • Default socket path: "$CLAWBOT_TMUX_SOCKET_DIR/clawbot.sock".

Targeting panes and naming

  • Target format: session:window.pane (defaults to :0.0).
  • Keep names short; avoid spaces.
  • Inspect: tmux -S "$SOCKET" list-sessions, tmux -S "$SOCKET" list-panes -a.

Finding sessions

  • List sessions on your socket: {baseDir}/scripts/find-sessions.sh -S "$SOCKET".
  • Scan all sockets: {baseDir}/scripts/find-sessions.sh --all (uses CLAWBOT_TMUX_SOCKET_DIR).

Sending input safely

  • Prefer literal sends: tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t target -l -- "$cmd".
  • Control keys: tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t target C-c.

Watching output

  • Capture recent history: tmux -S "$SOCKET" capture-pane -p -J -t target -S -200.
  • Wait for prompts: {baseDir}/scripts/wait-for-text.sh -t session:0.0 -p 'pattern'.
  • Attaching is OK; detach with Ctrl+b d.

Spawning processes

  • For python REPLs, set PYTHON_BASIC_REPL=1 (non-basic REPL breaks send-keys flows).

Windows / WSL

  • tmux is supported on macOS/Linux. On Windows, use WSL and install tmux inside WSL.
  • This skill is gated to darwin/linux and requires tmux on PATH.

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
