Description
Remote-control tmux sessions for interactive CLIs by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable letting an agent control tmux sessions. Use a private tmux socket, avoid --yolo or --full-auto unless you explicitly approve the task and workspace, review diffs before accepting changes, avoid sensitive panes when using wait-for-text.sh, and kill tmux sessions when finished.
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
Remote-controlling tmux sessions, sending keystrokes, and scraping pane output are coherent with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
The instructions explicitly show launching multiple Codex agents with high-autonomy flags such as --yolo and mention --full-auto, without requiring explicit user approval, sandboxing, or review of resulting changes.
Install Mechanism
The package contains one SKILL.md and two straightforward shell helpers; it declares only tmux as a required binary and has no installer, package hooks, network fetches, or obfuscated setup.
Credentials
Pane scraping is expected, but wait-for-text.sh captures from the ambient tmux context rather than supporting the documented private socket and prints captured pane text on timeout.
Persistence & Privilege
Detached tmux sessions and spawned processes can persist after the immediate interaction, though 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
