When your agent uses it
Control tmux panes and communicate between AI agents. Use this skill whenever the user mentions tmux panes, cross-pane communication, sending messages to other agents, reading other panes, managing tmux sessions, or interacting with processes running in tmux. Includes tmux-bridge CLI for agent-to-agent messaging and raw tmux commands for direct session control.

# smux
Tmux pane control and cross-pane agent communication. Use `tmux-bridge` (the high-level CLI) for all cross-pane interactions. Fall back to raw tmux commands only when you need low-level control.
## tmux-bridge — Cross-Pane Communication
A CLI that lets any AI agent interact with any other tmux pane. Works via plain bash. Every command is **atomic**: `type` types text (no Enter), `keys` sends special keys, `read` captures pane content.
### DO NOT WAIT OR POLL
Other panes have agents that will reply to you via tmux-bridge. Their reply appears directly in YOUR pane as a `[tmux-bridge from:...]` message. Do not sleep, poll, read the target pane for a response, or loop. Type your message, press Enter, and move on.
The ONLY time you read a target pane is:
