# OpenCLI Agent Pack: tmux

Use this when an AI agent needs to work with `tmux`.

## What this CLI is for
The standard terminal multiplexer for persistent sessions. Built by tmux. Start with `tmux new -s work` and go from there. Runs entirely on your machine.

Best for: Detaching SSH sessions and splitting panes on remote machines.

## Agent readiness
Human-first CLI (35/100)
- Supports non-interactive/scripted use.
- Can run locally with less credential exposure.

## Install
```sh
brew install tmux
```

## Verify before real work
```sh
tmux --version
```
Expected signal: tmux responds locally and is ready for the first real command.

## Safe starting commands
```sh
tmux --version
```

```sh
tmux new -s work
```

```sh
tmux ls
```

```sh
tmux attach -t work
```

## Guardrails for agents
- Prefer small commands and ask the agent to summarize plain text output.

## Suggested agent instruction
You may use tmux (`tmux`) for detaching ssh sessions and splitting panes on remote machines.. First install it if missing, then run the verify command. Start with read-only or inspection commands. Summarize what you found before changing anything. Ask for confirmation before commands that mutate remote state, spend money, deploy, delete data, merge code, or expose secrets.
