tmux

SKILL.md

tmux lets you run commands in the background and check on them later. When you run a normal bash command, you have to wait for it to finish. With tmux, you can start a command, let it run in the background, and check its output whenever you want.

If you don't see the output you want yet, sleep and run again. If you don't know how long it will take, start at 15 seconds, doubling the sleep duration each time, but never sleep more than 4 minutes (240 seconds).

Use this skill to run background processes or long running processes using tmux. Source: dtinth/agent-skills.
