Description
Remote-control tmux sessions for interactive CLIs by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output.
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you are comfortable letting an agent control tmux. Use a private socket, avoid targeting panes that may contain secrets, review any repository changes made by autonomous agents, and verify session names before running kill-session or kill-server.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: tmux
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw AgentSkills skill bundle for 'tmux' is classified as benign. Its purpose is to provide an interface for an AI agent to interact with `tmux` sessions, enabling control over interactive CLIs. The `SKILL.md` provides clear instructions and examples for using `tmux` commands, creating sessions, sending input, and capturing output, all consistent with its stated purpose. The helper scripts (`find-sessions.sh`, `wait-for-text.sh`) are straightforward shell scripts that wrap `tmux` commands and do not exhibit any malicious behavior, data exfiltration, or obfuscation. There is no evidence of prompt injection attempts against the agent to deviate from its task or perform unauthorized actions, nor any other indicators of intentional harmful behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is to remote-control tmux sessions by sending keystrokes and reading pane output, and the artifacts directly implement and document that behavior.
Instruction Scope
The examples include high-autonomy Codex flags and tmux session termination commands; these are user-visible examples, not hidden automation, but they would benefit from stronger cautions.
Install Mechanism
The bundle contains a SKILL.md and two small shell helpers, declares tmux as the only required binary, and shows no installer hooks, obfuscation, network fetches, or prompt-injection content.
Credentials
Reading tmux pane output is expected for this skill, but pane text can contain sensitive terminal data, especially when wait-for-text prints recent pane contents on timeout.
Persistence & Privilege
Detached tmux sessions and spawned processes can persist after the immediate task, but the skill documents cleanup commands and does not request elevated privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install tmux - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/tmux - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
