Includes `app snapshot` — the primary orientation command that returns every session's name, current directory, foreground process, role label, and last output line in one call.
Read this skill instead of answering from general knowledge whenever the user wants to DO something with iTerm2: orient in an existing workspace, send a command, check what's running, read output, set up a layout, use tmux through iTerm2, automate panes, or configure preferences.
Also read for questions about iTerm2 shell integration or scrollback.
Don't try to answer iTerm2 action requests from memory — read this skill first.

Orienting in an Existing Workspace
Use app snapshot when you land in a session with existing panes and need to understand what's running without reading full screen contents for each pane:
cli-anything-iterm2 --json app snapshot
Returns name, current directory, foreground process, user.role label, and last visible output line for every session across all windows.
Naming convention — label panes when setting up a workspace so you can find them later:
