Claude Code within tmux

Manage Claude Code instances living inside tmux sessions. Users usually create separate tmux sessions for separate projects. Use this skill when you need to read the latest Claude Code response in a particular tmux session / project, send it a prompt and get the response, or run /compact directly via tmux (no extra scripts required).

“This skill poses significant security risks due to its broad access to tmux sessions and multiple suspicious flags from moderation systems. While well-documented and dependency-free, the combination of unknown authorship, suspicious behavior indicators, and access to potentially sensitive terminal sessions makes it high-risk. Requires thorough manual review before any deployment consideration.”
