tmux

Use for existing interactive tmux sessions. For one-shot commands, use normal shell. For new non-interactive background jobs, use background execution.

On Windows, use psmux, the native Windows tmux-compatible multiplexer. psmux automatically provides the tmux alias, so keep using the tmux commands below; no command changes are needed.

When this skill is invoked, first confirm tmux is available before running tmux commands (command -v tmux or tmux -V; on Windows PowerShell, Get-Command tmux). If tmux is not found, tell the user to install tmux on macOS/Linux or psmux on Windows, depending on their OS, using one of the options below.

Installation

Choose the install path that matches the host OS and package manager.

macOS/Linux tmux

Package managers are preferred when available:

brew install tmux
