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.

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

# 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

```bash
# 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 split-off --surface surface:7 right
cmux reorder-surface --surface surface:7 --before surface:3

# attention cue
cmux trigger-flash --surface surface:7
```

## Settings and Docs

Use `cmux docs settings` before changing cmux-owned settings. It prints the docs URL, schema URL, raw GitHub resources, cmux.json paths, and reload command.

```bash
cmux docs settings
cmux settings path
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nikships/skills-registry/cmux@sha256:9479a77bd9a7f8cb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260527.380bd23, 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.
