Remote-control tmux sessions for interactive CLIs by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output.
Routing
- Use when: Use when the user asks to remote-control tmux sessions for interactive CLIs by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output.
- Do not use when: Do not use when the request is asking for planning documents, high-level strategy, or non-executable discussion; use the relevant planning or design workflow instead. Avoid using in non-interactive environments unless automation can fully satisfy prompts.
- Outputs: Outcome from Tmux: task-specific result plus concrete action notes.
- Success criteria: Returns concrete actions and decisions matching the requested task, with no fabricated tool-side behavior.
