tmux TUI Interaction

Control and test interactive terminal applications by running them in tmux sessions, sending keystrokes, and capturing output for verification.

Note: For most TUI automation, prefer the tuistory skill which has proper waitForText synchronization instead of sleep hacks. Use tmux-tui when you need to visually attach to the session for debugging (tmux attach -t name) or when Bun is not available.

Prerequisites

• tmux must be installed (brew install tmux on macOS)
• The TUI application must be runnable from command line
