# Send Tmux Remote Control to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### tmux Skill

Use tmux only when you need an interactive TTY. Prefer exec background mode for long-running, non-interactive tasks.

### Default Server — No Custom Sockets

Always use the default tmux server. Do NOT use -S custom sockets. The user needs to tmux attach easily without knowing obscure socket paths.

### Session Naming

Convention: oc-${project}-${feature} (e.g. oc-knowhere-date-range-picker, oc-deck-auth-flow)

oc- prefix = OpenClaw-managed, avoids collision with user sessions
Easy to find: tmux ls | grep oc-

### Quickstart

SESSION=oc-myproject-feature

tmux new-session -d -s "$SESSION" -c ~/projects/myproject
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION" 'claude --dangerously-skip-permissions' Enter
tmux capture-pane -p -J -t "$SESSION" -S -200

After starting a session, tell the user:

To monitor: tmux attach -t $SESSION

### Targeting panes and naming

Target format: session:window.pane (defaults to :0.0).
Keep names short; avoid spaces.
Inspect: tmux list-sessions, tmux list-panes -a.

### Sending input safely

Prefer literal sends: tmux send-keys -t target -l -- "$cmd".
Control keys: tmux send-keys -t target C-c.
For interactive TUI apps like Claude Code/Codex, do not append Enter in the same
send-keys. These apps may treat a fast text+Enter sequence as paste/multi-line input
and not submit. Send text and Enter as separate commands with a small delay:

tmux send-keys -t target -l -- "$cmd" && sleep 0.1 && tmux send-keys -t target Enter

### Watching output

Capture recent history: tmux capture-pane -p -J -t target -S -200.
Attaching is OK; detach with Ctrl+b d.

### Spawning processes

For python REPLs, set PYTHON_BASIC_REPL=1 (non-basic REPL breaks send-keys flows).

### Orchestrating Coding Agents (Codex, Claude Code)

tmux excels at running multiple coding agents in parallel:

# Create sessions in different worktrees
tmux new-session -d -s oc-project-fix1 -c ~/projects/project-fix1
tmux new-session -d -s oc-project-fix2 -c ~/projects/project-fix2

# Launch agents
tmux send-keys -t oc-project-fix1 'claude --dangerously-skip-permissions' Enter
tmux send-keys -t oc-project-fix2 'codex --full-auto' Enter

# Send a prompt (text + Enter separated by delay)
tmux send-keys -t oc-project-fix1 -l -- "Fix the date picker styling." && sleep 0.1 && tmux send-keys -t oc-project-fix1 Enter

# Poll for completion (check if shell prompt returned)
for sess in oc-project-fix1 oc-project-fix2; do
  if tmux capture-pane -p -t "$sess" -S -3 | grep -q "❯"; then
    echo "$sess: DONE"
  else
    echo "$sess: Running..."
  fi
done

# Get full output
tmux capture-pane -p -t oc-project-fix1 -S -500

Tips:

Use separate git worktrees for parallel fixes (no branch conflicts)
bun install / pnpm install first before running agents in fresh clones
Check for shell prompt (❯ or $) to detect completion
Codex needs --yolo or --full-auto for non-interactive fixes

### Cleanup

Kill a session: tmux kill-session -t "$SESSION".
Kill all OpenClaw sessions: tmux ls -F '#{session_name}' | grep '^oc-' | xargs -n1 tmux kill-session -t.
