Our review
Capture tmux pane content to debug terminal sessions or monitor background processes.
Strengths
- Lists all available panes quickly
- Captures with or without ANSI colors
- Includes scrollback history
- Simple and direct syntax
Limitations
- Requires tmux to be installed and running
- Only works within a tmux environment
- Capture can be verbose for long sessions
When you need to inspect output from a running process in another tmux pane without interrupting it.
If you need real-time interaction or the target process is not inside tmux.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only uses local tmux capture-pane commands to read terminal output. There are no destructive operations, external network calls, or data exfiltration. It poses no meaningful execution risk.
