Use this skill when the operator wants a prepared tmux visualization layout for the session's side-channels (STATE.md tail, CI-watch, events.jsonl tail). Renders a 4-pane default layout or debug layout. Read-only side-channel observability — the coordinator chat stays in the operator's original terminal. Trigger phrases: "tmux layout", "split panes for ci watch", "visualize session side-channels", "show me state-md tail and ci".

The visualization substrate implementation is split across helper modules like `layouts.mjs`, `vcs-detector.mjs`, and `tmux-shell.mjs`. In which repository directory path are these sibling modules located?

Status: PROPOSED per ADR-0007 (

Render a prepared tmux layout for operator-side observability of the session's asynchronous side-channels — STATE.md updates, CI status, events.jsonl wave/gate transitions. NOT a coordinator chat surface, NOT a wave-agent host. The coordinator chat remains in the operator's original terminal, period (per AUQ-001 in .claude/rules/ask-via-tool.md).

The skill prints a one-line tmux command. Paste it into a SECOND terminal (do not run it where /tmux-layout was invoked). That second terminal becomes the layout. Your original terminal (the coordinator chat) stays where it is.
