What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables developers to orchestrate and observe interactive CLI processes in a deterministic tmux workflow, reducing context switches during debugging and experimentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session Management: Launch and manage a named, detached tmux session for an interactive process.
  • Input/Output Control: Send commands to the session and capture the output for immediate inspection.
  • Reproducible Debugging Workflows: Iterate pdb, Python REPL, Node REPL, and other interactive tools across multiple turns with consistent state.

Quick Start

Start a detached pdb session in a tmux session named "proc" and view the initial prompt. tmux new-session -d -s proc "python3 -m pdb script.py" sleep 1 tmux capture-pane -t proc -p

Send input to the session

tmux send-keys -t proc $'n\n'

Read updated output

tmux capture-pane -t proc -p

Cleanup when finished

tmux kill-session -t proc
