Tmux

Tmux extends your AI assistant with the ability to remote-control tmux sessions for interactive CLIs by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly — and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Tmux as its underlying capability.

Tmux works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Tmux once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.

Getting started with Tmux takes about two minutes. Place the skill at `~/.claude/skills/tmux/` (personal, all projects) or `.claude/skills/tmux/` (project-specific), then restart your AI client. From that point, typing `/tmux` in any conversation activates it, or the AI will use it on its own when it detects a relevant request.

With 22,926 installs, Tmux has built a substantial following in the Data & Analytics space. That install count reflects consistent demand from developers and teams who've found it genuinely useful. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
