Claude TUI

Send slash commands to a Claude Code TUI session via tmux and capture the output. Resumes the target session in a detached tmux pane, sends the command, waits for output to stabilize, captures it, and tears down.

Prerequisites

  • tmux must be installed (brew install tmux on macOS)

Commands

# Send /context to a specific session
python3 .claude/skills/claude-tui/scripts/tui_cmd.py <session-id> /context

# Send /compact to the most recent session
python3 .claude/skills/claude-tui/scripts/tui_cmd.py --latest /compact

# Send /cost to a session
python3 .claude/skills/claude-tui/scripts/tui_cmd.py <session-id> /cost

# Custom timeout (default: 30s)
python3 .claude/skills/claude-tui/scripts/tui_cmd.py --latest --timeout 60 /compact

# Use custom projects directory
python3 .claude/skills/claude-tui/scripts/tui_cmd.py --latest --dir /path/to/projects /context

Output

Session: 82c946c8-1eb8-4c70-9414-813fc0a278e4
Command: /context

How it works

  1. Launches claude --resume <session-id> in a detached tmux session
  2. Waits for the TUI to initialize (polls until pane output stabilizes)
  3. Sends the slash command via tmux send-keys
  4. Polls every 0.5s until output stabilizes (two identical captures), max 30s
  5. Captures the final pane content
  6. Kills the tmux session and Claude process
