Drive CLI tests inside isolated tmux/byobu sessions with ai-monitor integration. Use when asked to "test this CLI", "run it in tmux", "automate a terminal session", "capture the output of an interactive command", "send keystrokes to a session", or to exercise a plugin or terminal app without touching the current session. Covers session lifecycle, keystroke control, output capture, and autonomous monitoring.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Automated CLI Testing with Session Management

<purpose>

**autorun-specific procedures** (read the one you need, not both):
`references/session-management.md` creates, lists, and cleans up isolated
sessions, including the rule that cleanup only ever touches names starting with
`autorun-test`. `references/isolated-testing.md` runs a command inside the
dedicated `autorun-test` session so the caller's own session is never touched.

This skill provides comprehensive capabilities for automated testing of CLI applications, plugins, and terminal workflows using tmux/byobu sessions with full ai-monitor integration. Perfect for testing Claude Code plugins, command-line tools, and automated workflows.

</purpose>

<commands>

## Core Commands

### Session Management
- `byobu new-session -d -s <session-name>` - Create new detached session
- `byobu list-sessions` - List all active sessions
- `byobu attach-session -t <session-name>` - Attach to existing session
- `byobu detach-session` - Detach from session (F6)
- `byobu kill-session -t <session-name>` - Terminate session
- `tmux list-sessions` - List tmux sessions

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahundt/autorun/tmux-automation@sha256:cc05c26b62c63f92

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260816.82c264e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
