Agent skill
cmux
End-user control of cmux topology and routing (windows, workspaces, panes/surfaces, focus, moves, reorder, identify, trigger flash). Use when automation needs deterministic placement and navigation in a multi-pane cmux layout.

cmux Core Control
Use this skill to control non-browser cmux topology and routing.
Core Concepts
- Window: top-level macOS cmux window.
- Workspace: tab-like group within a window.
- Pane: split container in a workspace.
- Surface: a tab within a pane (terminal or browser panel).
Fast Start
# identify current caller context
cmux identify --json
# list topology
cmux list-windows
cmux list-workspaces
cmux list-panes
cmux list-pane-surfaces --pane pane:1
# create/focus/move
cmux new-workspace
cmux new-split right --panel pane:1
cmux move-surface --surface surface:7 --pane pane:2 --focus true
cmux reorder-surface --surface surface:7 --before surface:3
# attention cue
cmux trigger-flash --surface surface:7
Handle Model
- Default output uses short refs:
window:N,workspace:N,pane:N,surface:N. - UUIDs are still accepted as inputs.
- Request UUID output only when needed:
--id-format uuids|both.

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
release
Prepare and ship a cmux release end-to-end: choose the next version, curate user-facing changelog entries, bump versions, open and monitor a release PR, merge, tag, and verify published artifacts. Use when asked to cut, prepare, publish, or tag a new release.
cmux-debug-windows
Manage cmux debug windows and related debug menu wiring for Sidebar Debug, Background Debug, and Menu Bar Extra Debug. Use this when the user asks to open/tune these debug controls, add or adjust Debug menu entries, or capture/copy a combined debug config snapshot.
cmux-markdown
Open markdown files in a formatted viewer panel with live reload. Use when you need to display plans, documentation, or notes alongside the terminal with rich rendering (headings, code blocks, tables, lists).
cmux-browser
End-user browser automation with cmux. Use when you need to open sites, interact with pages, wait for state changes, and extract data from cmux browser surfaces.
verl-rl-training
Provides guidance for training LLMs with reinforcement learning using verl (Volcano Engine RL). Use when implementing RLHF, GRPO, PPO, or other RL algorithms for LLM post-training at scale with flexible infrastructure backends.
openrlhf-training
High-performance RLHF framework with Ray+vLLM acceleration. Use for PPO, GRPO, RLOO, DPO training of large models (7B-70B+). Built on Ray, vLLM, ZeRO-3. 2× faster than DeepSpeedChat with distributed architecture and GPU resource sharing.
