tmux-agents
Manage background coding agents in tmux sessions. Spawn Claude Code or other agents, check progress, get results.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable scripts for managing coding agents in tmux sessions, enabling parallel task execution and agent management that the AI cannot generate on its own.
What it needs
Requires tmux installed locally. About 2k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-03-07. 639 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Tmux Agents Run coding agents in persistent tmux sessions. They work in the background while you do other things. Available Agents ☁️ Cloud Agents (API credits) Agent Command Best For ------- --------- ---------- claude Claude Code Complex coding, refactoring, full projects codex OpenAI Codex Quick edits, auto-approve mode gemini Google Gemini Research, analysis, documentation 🦙 Local Agents (FREE via Ollama) Agent Command Best For ------- --------- ---------- ollama-claude Claude Code + Ollama Long experiments, heavy refactoring ollama-codex Codex + Ollama Extended coding sessions Local agents use your Mac's GPU — no API costs, great for experimentation! Quick Commands Spawn a new agent session List running sessions Check on a session Attach to watch live Send additional instructions Kill a session when done When to Use Local vs Cloud Scenario Recommendation ---------- ---------------- Quick fix, time-sensitive ☁️ Cloud (faster) Expensive task, budget matters 🦙 Local Long experiment, might fail 🦙 Local Production code review ☁️ Cloud (smarter) Learning/exploring 🦙 Local Heavy refactoring 🦙 Local Parallel Agents Run multiple agents simultaneously: Check all at once: Ollama Setup Local agents require Ollama with a coding model: Tips Sessions persist even if Clawdbot restarts Use local agents for risky/experimental work Use cloud for production-critical tasks Check tmux ls to see all active work Kill sessions when done to free resources
How to use it
Reference it in AdaL, Claude Code, Cursor or any coding agent — nothing to install:
