tmux-message

from stevengonsalvez/agents-in-a-box

Reliable peer-to-peer message delivery to other Claude Code instances via tmux send-keys. Use as a fallback when claude-peers MCP send_message fails to surface in the receiver's inbox (delivered server-side but receiver never picks it up — observed behaviour). Also use when sending a directive to a known Claude Code TUI session by tmux session name or fuzzy hint, or when injecting a multi-line directive into a peer's prompt and submitting it. Trigger phrases — "claude-peers fallback", "tmux send-keys", "send to peer via tmux", "inject directive", "deliver to nanoclaw/hermes peer", "peer message". Tmux-only — won't reach peers running outside tmux.

Run tests for the ainb (agents-in-a-box) Rust workspace via a 5-layer strategy — unit, insta snapshot, mock-plugin compositing, real-plugin spawn, vhs recording. Wraps cargo + insta + vhs into one CLI. Use when Stevie says "/test-ainb", "test ainb", "run ainb tests", "snapshot <component>", "regenerate vhs tapes", or any phrasing about validating ainb test layers. The skill autodetects which ainb-tui worktree the cwd sits in and dispatches to scripts/run.sh.
