tmux

Manage long-running shell sessions with tmux — start a detached session, run a long task, reattach later, capture output. Use when a task takes longer than a single tool call (build, test, log tail).

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

An exemplary command-reference skill: lean, fully executable, with a well-sequenced long-running-task pattern including an explicit status checkpoint and a useful 'When NOT to use' boundary section. Nothing needs to be split out or trimmed.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The two-sentence intro conveys only non-obvious environment facts ('on PATH in the gateway', 'persist across tool-call boundaries'), and every command carries a single-purpose comment with zero padding — every token earns its place.

5 / 5

Actionability

All commands are copy-paste executable and cover the common cases (new-session -d, capture-pane with -S -1000 scrollback, send-keys with the C-m note), and the status-flag pattern is a complete, correctly escaped executable script.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Each single action is unambiguous (simple-skill case), and the flagship pattern sequences start → later check of /tmp/build.exit → report status or tail the log, providing an explicit checkpoint with no validation gaps.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and none are needed at this scope — all content is core overview material appropriately inlined, organized into clear one-level sections with easy navigation.

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description that clearly states concrete capabilities and an explicit 'Use when...' clause with natural trigger terms. The only weaknesses are slightly incomplete action coverage (no mention of sending input or ending sessions) and a few missing natural synonyms.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists four concrete actions ('start a detached session, run a long task, reattach later, capture output'), but omits sending input and ending sessions, which the body covers — minor gaps in coverage matching the 4 anchor rather than the comprehensive 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what ('start a detached session, run a long task, reattach later, capture output') and when ('Use when a task takes longer than a single tool call (build, test, log tail)') with concrete trigger phrases, matching the 5 anchor exactly.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural trigger phrases users would say ('build, test, log tail', 'long-running', 'reattach') alongside the tool name tmux, but misses common variations like 'background task' or 'keep it running', so it falls short of the 5 anchor's synonym coverage.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Names a specific tool (tmux) with a niche trigger condition (tasks outlasting a single tool call), giving it a clear trigger surface with minimal conflict risk against other skills.
