agents-in-a-box: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/tmux-verify/SKILL.md

tmux-verify is a skill for Claude Code from stevengonsalvez/agents-in-a-box. It costs 231 tokens per session (2,262 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An acceptance-check process for terminal user interfaces (TUIs), which are text-based applications that run in a terminal. It combines automated tests with recorded screen checks to confirm that each user journey shows the correct text and pixels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify TUI features end to end, including terminal behavior, visual output, recorded demonstrations, and repeated non-flaky checks.
Why use it?
A test can pass while the visible interface is still wrong; this checks what a user actually sees.

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-verify 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/publish-explainer.sh, scripts/verify-journey.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-verify

Overview

tmux-verify is the OUTER acceptance harness: it proves a TUI feature is actually done as a user would experience it. It does NOT write the automated test (that is tmux-ui-tripwire) and does NOT reimplement media tooling (that is /media-processing). It orchestrates both plus a live explainer into one repeatable contract.

Use it two ways:

  • As a contract — a goal/plan says "validate per /tmux-verify" and inherits all 6 gates.
  • As a runner — execute the gates for a feature end-to-end until green.

The non-negotiable principle: read the frame, don't blank-check. A passing screen is one whose pixels/text say the correct thing for that journey — not merely that something rendered.

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.
