About this skill
Tmux Agents
Run coding agents in persistent tmux sessions. They work in the background while you do other things.
Available Agents
☁️ Cloud Agents (API credits)
| Agent | Command | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| claude | Claude Code | Complex coding, refactoring, full projects |
| codex | OpenAI Codex | Quick edits, auto-approve mode |
| gemini | Google Gemini | Research, analysis, documentation |
🦙 Local Agents (FREE via Ollama)
| Agent | Command | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| ollama-claude | Claude Code + Ollama | Long experiments, heavy refactoring |
| ollama-codex | Codex + Ollama | Extended coding sessions |
Local agents use your Mac's GPU — no API costs, great for experimentation!
Quick Commands
Spawn a new agent session
./skills/tmux-agents/scripts/spawn.sh <name> <task> [agent]
# Cloud (uses API credits)
./skills/tmux-agents/scripts/spawn.sh fix-bug "Fix login validation" claude
./skills/tmux-agents/scripts/spawn.sh refactor "Refactor the auth module" codex
./skills/tmux-agents/scripts/spawn.sh research "Research caching strategies" gemini
# Local (FREE - uses Ollama)
./skills/tmux-agents/scripts/spawn.sh experiment "Rewrite entire test suite" ollama-claude
./skills/tmux-agents/scripts/spawn.sh big-refactor "Refactor all services" ollama-codex
List running sessions
tmux list-sessions
# or
./skills/tmux-agents/scripts/status.sh
Check on a session
./skills/tmux-agents/scripts/check.sh session-name
Attach to watch live
tmux attach -t session-name
# Detach with: Ctrl+B, then D
Send additional instructions
tmux send-keys -t session-name "additional instruction here" Enter
Kill a session when done
tmux kill-session -t session-name
When to Use Local vs Cloud
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Quick fix, time-sensitive | ☁️ Cloud (faster) |
| Expensive task, budget matters | 🦙 Local |
| Long experiment, might fail | 🦙 Local |
| Production code review | ☁️ Cloud (smarter) |
| Learning/exploring | 🦙 Local |
| Heavy refactoring | 🦙 Local |
Parallel Agents
Run multiple agents simultaneously:
# Mix and match cloud + local
./scripts/spawn.sh backend "Implement user API" claude # Cloud
./scripts/spawn.sh frontend "Build login form" ollama-codex # Local
./scripts/spawn.sh docs "Write API documentation" gemini # Cloud
./scripts/spawn.sh tests "Write all unit tests" ollama-claude # Local
Check all at once:
./skills/tmux-agents/scripts/status.sh
Ollama Setup
Local agents require Ollama with a coding model:
# Pull recommended model
ollama pull glm-4.7-flash
# Configure tools (one-time)
ollama launch claude --model glm-4.7-flash --config
ollama launch codex --model glm-4.7-flash --config
Tips
- Sessions persist even if Clawdbot restarts
- Use local agents for risky/experimental work
- Use cloud for production-critical tasks
- Check
tmux lsto see all active work - Kill sessions when done to free resources

godot
bfollington
This skill should be used when working on Godot Engine projects. It provides specialized knowledge of Godot's file formats (.gd, .tscn, .tres), architecture patterns (component-based, signal-driven, resource-based), common pitfalls, validation tools, code templates, and CLI workflows. The `godot` command is available for running the game, validating scripts, importing resources, and exporting builds. Use this skill for tasks involving Godot game development, debugging scene/resource files, implementing game systems, or creating new Godot components.
nano-banana-pro
garg-aayush
Generate and edit images using Google's Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro Image) API. Use when the user asks to generate, create, edit, modify, change, alter, or update images. Also use when user references an existing image file and asks to modify it in any way (e.g., "modify this image", "change the background", "replace X with Y"). Supports both text-to-image generation and image-to-image editing with configurable resolution (1K default, 2K, or 4K for high resolution). DO NOT read the image file first - use this skill directly with the --input-image parameter.
pdf-to-markdown
aliceisjustplaying
Convert entire PDF documents to clean, structured Markdown for full context loading. Use this skill when the user wants to extract ALL text from a PDF into context (not grep/search), when discussing or analyzing PDF content in full, when the user mentions "load the whole PDF", "bring the PDF into context", "read the entire PDF", or when partial extraction/grepping would miss important context. This is the preferred method for PDF text extraction over page-by-page or grep approaches.
