everything_claudecode: Skill for Claude Code

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: npm install -g dmux or 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:
