Use when you need to run interactive CLI tools (vim, git rebase -i, Python REPL, etc.) that require real-time input/output - provides tmux-based approach for controlling interactive sessions through detached sessions and send-keys

A test case the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
Describe how to programmatically change a commit action from pick to squash during an interactive git rebase inside a session named `rebase_sess`.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Interactive CLI tools (vim, interactive git rebase, REPLs, etc.) cannot be controlled through standard bash because they require a real terminal. tmux provides detached sessions that can be controlled programmatically via send-keys and capture-pane.
Use tmux when:
git rebase -i, git add -p)Don't use for:
| Task | Command |
|---|---|
| Start session | tmux new-session -d -s <name> <command> |
| Send input | tmux send-keys -t <name> 'text' Enter |
| Capture output | tmux capture-pane -t <name> -p |
| Stop session | tmux kill-session -t <name> |
| List sessions | tmux list-sessions |
# This hangs because vim expects interactive terminal
bash -c "vim file.txt"
