Tmux Start

Start Issue in tmux Window

Plugin Resource Resolution

<PLUGIN_ROOT> is notation. Replace it with a concrete absolute plugin root before every resource read or command:

• Codex: Start from the directory containing the absolute selected SKILL.md path, then ascend two directories (skills/<name> -> plugin root).
• Claude Code: Bind it to the injected ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} value.

Before requesting decisions, read <PLUGIN_ROOT>/lib/driver-interaction.md and follow its cross-platform capability-binding rules.

Read <PLUGIN_ROOT>/lib/decision-gates.md before resolving target or secret-copy intent.

Bind the invocation arguments as SKILL_ARGS for $go-workflow:tmux-start by reading <PLUGIN_ROOT>/lib/skill-arguments.md with this Claude Code compatibility payload: $ARGUMENTS

Empty Arguments

If SKILL_ARGS is empty or not provided, explain:

This skill creates or reuses a worktree, opens a new tmux window, launches the active assistant surface, and sends its qualified start-issue invocation automatically.

Claude Code: /go-workflow:tmux-start <issue-number>.

Codex: $go-workflow:tmux-start <issue-number>.

Prerequisites: running inside a tmux session ($TMUX set); gh authenticated; inside a git repo.

This is a missing-intent gate. Request: "What issue number should I start in a tmux window?" If structured input is unavailable, ask in the final response and stop before creating a worktree or tmux window.

Clear Worktree State

/bin/bash "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/worktree-state.sh" clear 2>/dev/null || true

Issue Number

Use SKILL_ARGS as the issue number. The script validates that it is numeric and that the issue exists.

Environment Files

Check whether the source repo has environment files before creating the worktree:

SOURCE_DIR="$(pwd)"
/bin/bash "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/worktree-create.sh" env-files --source-dir "$SOURCE_DIR"

If the output starts with ENV_FILES_FOUND=true, follow the shared missing-intent gate. Request explicit consent: "Found environment files that may contain secrets. Copy them to the new worktree?" Stop before worktree or tmux creation when structured input is unavailable.

Start tmux Workflow

Bind SURFACE from the active assistant before invoking the script. Claude Code binds claude; Codex binds codex. Do not infer the surface from installed executables or environment variables.

SURFACE="<claude-or-codex>"

If copying environment files was explicitly authorized:

/bin/bash "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/tmux-start.sh" "$SKILL_ARGS" --surface "$SURFACE" --copy-env

Otherwise:

/bin/bash "<PLUGIN_ROOT>/scripts/tmux-start.sh" "$SKILL_ARGS" --surface "$SURFACE" --no-copy-env

The script validates prerequisites, creates or reuses the standard issue worktree, registers worktree state, opens or switches to the issue tmux window, launches the bound assistant, waits for a Claude or Codex prompt or stable launch marker, and sends /go-workflow:start-issue <issue-number> for Claude or $go-workflow:start-issue <issue-number> for Codex. Direct script callers that omit --surface retain the Claude default.

Set GOPHER_AI_TMUX_ASSISTANT_CMD or pass --assistant-cmd to override the launch command for either surface. The neutral override takes precedence over GOPHER_AI_TMUX_CLAUDE_CMD and --claude-cmd, which remain supported for Claude compatibility. Defaults are claude --dangerously-skip-permissions and codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox.
