What cmux Workspace does

cmux Workspace scopes agent actions to the current cmux workspace, panes, surfaces, and sidebar state, enabling non-interfering terminal automation. Use it when working inside cmux to manage layout, send commands to specific surfaces, and update workspace status without changing user focus.

cmux Workspace is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. cmux Workspace comes from a repository tagged amp, claude-code, cli, codex and coding-agents.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

cmux Workspace

Scope work to the cmux workspace that invoked the agent.

Window: a macOS cmux window.
Workspace: a sidebar entry. The UI calls it a tab; CLI/socket APIs call it a workspace.
Pane: a split region inside a workspace.
Surface: a tab inside a pane, terminal or browser.
Panel: internal content type inside a surface. Prefer CLI surface commands over panel internals.

Default rule

Scope actions to the current caller workspace unless the user explicitly asks for another workspace, another window, or global state. Do not assume the visually focused workspace is the right target: an agent can run in one workspace while the user looks at another.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
