Inspect and control interactive command-line programs running in tmux, a terminal session manager. List sessions and panes, capture current output or history, send text and special keys, and watch for prompts or completion markers.
Control tmux sessions/panes for interactive CLIs: list, capture output, send keys, paste text, monitor prompts.
This skill lets an agent inspect and control interactive command-line programs running in tmux. It lists sessions, windows, and panes, which are split terminal views. You can retrieve the current display or earlier output, paste text, and send keys such as Enter and Ctrl+C. It also handles creating, renaming, and ending sessions.
Use it to check whether a running program is waiting for input or to send instructions to an existing terminal session. A helper script can wait until specified text appears in the output, making it useful for watching confirmation prompts or checking whether processing has finished.
You need macOS or Linux and the tmux command. The main use is working with existing interactive sessions. The text-waiting helper also matches displayed input and earlier output, so use a unique marker when checking completion. Read and understand a prompt before entering an approval or selection.

Use for existing interactive tmux sessions. For one-shot commands, use normal shell. For new non-interactive background jobs, use background execution.
tmux ls
tmux list-windows -t shared
tmux list-panes -t shared:0
tmux capture-pane -t shared:0.0 -p
tmux capture-pane -t shared:0.0 -p -S -
Target format: session:window.pane, e.g. shared:0.0.
Literal text, then Enter:
tmux send-keys -t shared:0.0 -l -- "Please continue"
tmux send-keys -t shared:0.0 Enter
Special keys:
tmux send-keys -t shared:0.0 C-c
tmux send-keys -t shared:0.0 C-d
tmux send-keys -t shared:0.0 Escape
Use -l -- for arbitrary text. Split text and Enter to avoid paste/newline surprises.
tmux new-session -d -s worker
tmux rename-session -t old new
tmux kill-session -t worker
tmux capture-pane -t worker-3 -p | tail -20
tmux capture-pane -t worker-3 -p | rg "proceed|permission|Yes|No|❯"
Approve/select only when the prompt is understood:
tmux send-keys -t worker-3 -l -- "y"
tmux send-keys -t worker-3 Enter
scripts/find-sessions.sh: discover sessions.scripts/wait-for-text.sh: wait until captured pane contents contain text.wait-for-text.sh searches echoed input and scrollback as well as process output. For command completion, use a unique marker whose full text is split across arguments in the command sent to tmux:
nonce="$(od -An -N8 -tx1 /dev/urandom | tr -d ' \n')"
marker="OPENCLAW_DONE_${nonce}"
tmux send-keys -t shared:0.0 -l -- "sleep 4; printf '%s%s\n' 'OPENCLAW_DONE_' '$nonce'"
tmux send-keys -t shared:0.0 Enter
scripts/wait-for-text.sh -t shared:0.0 -p "$marker" -F -T 30
The echoed command never contains the complete marker, and the nonce prevents an older completion line from matching.
capture-pane -p prints to stdout for scripts.-S - captures full scrollback.No reviews yet. Tell others what you thought.

Set up and authenticate the 1Password CLI, then supply stored passwords and API keys to commands or configuration. The skill covers desktop integration, service accounts, and interactive sign-in while keeping secrets out of chat and logs.
Route requests from OpenClaw to external coding agents such as Claude Code or Cursor. Start or continue sessions using ACP, a protocol for connecting agents, or relay prompts directly through acpx while preserving conversation context.
Add a model provider to OpenClaw and verify it with a real response. The skill validates configuration, keeps credentials in environment or file references, and reports test results and any default model changes.
Prepare an agent activity transcript for a GitHub pull request or issue. Extract relevant prompts, decisions, and results from local logs, remove sensitive material, and preview the edited record before separately authorized publication.
Manage Apple Notes on macOS through memo, a command-line tool. Create, browse, search, edit, delete, and move notes between folders, or export selected notes to HTML or Markdown for use outside the app.
Manage Apple Reminders from your Mac with remindctl, a terminal tool. View tasks by date, add or edit reminders, organize lists, and mark tasks complete or delete them, including personal to-dos that sync to iOS.
