+# Tmux driving — full reference
+
+Deep dive for driving `claude` (interactive) through tmux. Read it when the main `SKILL.md` workflow hits an edge case: a hung session, a missing JSONL, an unexpected ANSI burst, a "tmux says session exists but claude isn't responsive" situation.
+
+## Why tmux
+
+The agent process has no TTY. `claude` (interactive) is a TUI that uses raw terminal modes — it reads stdin one byte at a time with echo off, draws with ANSI escapes, and refuses to start if stdin/stdout aren't terminals. Piping into `claude` (`echo "prompt" | claude`) doesn't work; the CLI detects the absence of a TTY and either falls back to `-p` semantics (no plan mode) or fails outright.
+
+`tmux` solves this by spawning the process with a pty allocated by tmux itself. You then drive the pty via `send-keys` (write) and `capture-pane` (read). The process believes it's running interactively because, from its file descriptor's point of view, it is.
+
+## Why `/tmp/cc-<id>` and not `workspace/cc-<id>`
+
+The cwd of the spawned `claude` process must be the git worktree at `/tmp/cc-<id>/`, not the agent folder's `workspace/`. Three reasons:
+
+1. **Worktree-vs-scratch:** the `cc-<id>` directory is a real git checkout managed by `git worktree`, with refs in `/agent/.git/worktrees/cc-<id>/`. Putting it under `workspace/` would mean the agent folder contains a worktree of itself, which works mechanically but is recursive and confusing.
+2. **Claude's `.claude/settings.json` is read relative to cwd.** It must live at `/tmp/cc-<id>/.claude/settings.json` so claude picks up the per-task `Stop` hook.
+3. **The worktree IS the codebase.** Claude can read every file at `HEAD` directly — it doesn't need a separate scratch area.
+
+Auth has no in-container scratch directory at all — the OAuth `setup-token` flow runs on the user's machine, not in tmux here. See `references/auth-flow.md`.
+
+## Spawning the session
+
+The canonical spawn (per `SKILL.md`):
+
+```sh
+tmux new-session -d -s cc-<task-id> -c /tmp/cc-<task-id> claude
+```
+
+Flags worth knowing:
+
+- `-d` — detached. The session runs in the background; your shell doesn't attach.
+- `-s cc-<task-id>` — explicit session name. Required. Without `-s`, tmux picks `0`, `1`, … and a sibling delegation will clobber yours.
+- `-c /tmp/cc-<task-id>` — start directory. Must be the worktree path. Claude Code reads `.claude/settings.json` relative to its cwd; if cwd is wrong, the Stop hook will not be registered.
+- `claude` — the command. Just `claude`, not `claude -p`. The interactive TUI is the whole point.
+
+Common mistake: forgetting `-c` and getting cwd `/agent` by default. The Stop hook won't fire because `/agent/.claude/settings.json` doesn't exist (or it does, and you've accidentally polluted someone else's hook config). Worse: claude in `/agent` operates on the live working tree instead of the worktree.
+
+## The init wait
+
+`claude` prints a banner, performs auth verification, and renders its input box. This takes ~2–3 seconds on a warm cache, up to ~8s on cold start. You must wait for the input box to render before sending the first prompt, otherwise `send-keys` writes to a pane that isn't accepting input yet and your keystrokes are lost.
+
+Two strategies:
+
+1. **Fixed sleep (simple, mostly works):** `sleep 3` after spawn, then `send-keys`. Robust against typical init times; occasionally lossy on cold start.
+2. **Poll for ready signal (robust):** every 500ms, `tmux capture-pane -t cc-<id> -p | tail -5` and look for an input-prompt marker. The exact marker varies by Claude Code version, but a unicode box-drawing character (`│`, `╭`, `╰`) at column 0 of the bottom rows is a reliable heuristic. Give up after 15 seconds and proceed anyway — late init is rare enough that the fixed-sleep fallback is fine.
+
+The skill body uses the fixed sleep for simplicity. Upgrade to polling if you observe lost first prompts in practice.
+
+## Sending input
+
+```sh
+tmux send-keys -t cc-<id> "<text>" Enter
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- **Quote carefully.** The text is interpreted by tmux's send-keys before reaching the pty. Embedded `"` and `\` need escaping. For complex prompts, write the prompt to a file and use `tmux load-buffer + paste-buffer` instead of `send-keys`:
+
+  ```sh
+  echo "<prompt>" > prompt.txt
+  tmux load-buffer -t cc-<id> prompt.txt
+  tmux paste-buffer -t cc-<id>
+  tmux send-keys -t cc-<id> Enter
+  ```
+
+- **`Enter` is the literal key name**, not the text "Enter". Other useful key names: `Escape`, `Tab`, `BSpace`, `Up`, `Down`, `C-c` (Ctrl+C), `C-d` (Ctrl+D for EOF).
+
+- **Multi-line prompts**: send the body, then `Enter`. Claude Code's input box treats `Enter` as submit, so newlines in your text become submitted lines (not multi-line input). If you need a genuinely multi-line prompt, use the paste-buffer flow above with embedded newlines.
+
+## Polling for `.done`
+
+The skill workflow polls the sentinel flag file, not the pane. This is the reliable path:
+
+```sh
+budget=600         # 10 minutes in seconds
+elapsed=0
+while [ ! -f /tmp/cc-<id>/.done ]; do
+  if [ "$elapsed" -ge "$budget" ]; then
+    echo "Timeout reached"
+    break
+  fi
+  if ! tmux has-session -t cc-<id> 2>/dev/null; then
+    echo "tmux session died unexpectedly"
+    break
+  fi
+  sleep 0.5
+  elapsed=$((elapsed + 1))
+done
+```
+
+In your actual loop, translate to your tool calls: a check on `/tmp/cc-<id>/.done` existence, a check on `tmux has-session -t cc-<id>`, sleep, repeat. The shell snippet is illustrative.
+
+### Why 500ms cadence
+
+- Faster polling (50–100ms) wastes CPU and is invisible to the user; the user's perception starts caring around 1s.
+- Slower polling (2s+) adds visible latency to the multi-turn loop — every Stop adds up to 2s of pure wait.
+- 500ms is the sweet spot: invisible latency, minimal CPU, plenty of headroom for short turns.
+
+### Session-died recovery
+
+`tmux has-session` returns non-zero when the session is gone. Three reasons:
+
+1. **Claude crashed**: assertion failure, OOM, segfault. `capture-pane` before tmux GC'd the session would show a stack trace. After GC, the session is just gone; you can't recover the pane content.
+2. **Auth failed**: `claude` exited cleanly with "API key invalid" or similar. Pane would have shown the error briefly before the process exited.
+3. **User killed it externally**: someone ran `tmux kill-session -t cc-<id>` outside your control.
+
+Recovery: surface to the user with whatever you have — `git diff main..cc-<id>` (which still works because the branch exists), `sentinel.json` from any prior turn, the JSONL if it exists. Then clean up: `git worktree remove --force /tmp/cc-<id>` + `git branch -D cc-<id>`. Ask whether to retry.
+
+## Capturing the pane (fallback path)
+
+When the JSONL is missing or you need to see what the TUI showed:
+
+```sh
+tmux capture-pane -t cc-<id> -p -S - -E -
+```
+
+Flags:
+
+- `-p` — print to stdout (default is to copy to a tmux buffer).
+- `-S -` — start from the beginning of the scrollback.
+- `-E -` — end at the current line.
+- Without `-S -E`, you only capture the visible pane (rows × cols), losing everything that scrolled off.
+
+The captured content includes ANSI escape codes by default. Pass `-e` to preserve them explicitly (rarely useful) or omit and strip via a regex after capture: `s/\x1b\[[0-9;]*[a-zA-Z]//g`.
+
+### ANSI gotchas
+
+- **Progress spinners redraw the same line.** Capture-pane shows the final state of each cell, so spinners look harmless. But mid-capture, if claude is actively redrawing, you may catch a partial frame. Re-capture after `Stop` for a stable view.
+- **Box-drawing characters** for the input box and message frames are Unicode (`╭ ╮ ╰ ╯ │ ─`). They render fine in modern terminals but mangle in some text post-processing. If you're showing pane content to the user via TypeClaw's TUI, just preserve as-is — Bun's stdout handles UTF-8.
+- **Color codes**: standard 8-color (`\x1b[31m` etc.) and 256-color (`\x1b[38;5;Nm`). The strip regex above handles both.
+
+## Cleaning up
+
+```sh
+tmux send-keys -t cc-<id> "/exit" Enter
+sleep 1
+tmux kill-session -t cc-<id> 2>/dev/null || true
+git -C /agent worktree remove --force /tmp/cc-<id>
+git -C /agent branch -D cc-<id>
+```
+
+- `/exit` is Claude Code's built-in exit command. Cleaner than `C-c` — it lets the CLI flush the JSONL and close cleanly.
+- `sleep 1` gives the CLI time to flush. Skip it and you may lose the last few JSONL lines.
+- `kill-session ... || true` because the session may have already exited cleanly after `/exit`.
+- `worktree remove --force` because the working tree has un-cherry-picked changes (claude's edits + the sentinel + the hook). `--force` is correct here because we're explicitly discarding.
+- `branch -D` to delete the throwaway branch. `-D` (capital) because `cc-<id>` is unmerged into anything you care about.
+
+## Things you must not do in tmux driving
+
+- **Do not omit `-s <name>` on `new-session`.** Anonymous sessions race across delegations.
+- **Do not omit `-c /tmp/cc-<id>` on `new-session`.** Wrong cwd means wrong `.claude/settings.json`, and worse, claude operating on the live `/agent` working tree.
+- **Do not skip the init wait.** Sending input before the TUI is ready loses the input silently.
+- **Do not use `send-keys` with raw user-supplied strings without escaping.** Tmux's send-keys is mildly shell-like; embedded special chars get interpreted. Use `load-buffer + paste-buffer` for anything untrusted or complex.
+- **Do not poll `capture-pane` as your primary done-signal.** Use the sentinel. `capture-pane` is for content retrieval, not lifecycle.
+- **Do not kill the session with `C-c` if you can avoid it.** `/exit` is cleaner — it gives Claude Code time to flush the JSONL.
+- **Do not assume `tmux has-session` returning success means claude is responsive.** A session can exist while claude is wedged. Pair with a wall-clock budget.
+- **Do not `rm -rf /tmp/cc-<id>` instead of `git worktree remove`.** Pure rm leaves orphan refs in `/agent/.git/worktrees/cc-<id>/` and a dangling branch. The next delegation with the same id will fail with "branch already exists".

Boolean for on/off, version string for an apt pin (e.g. `"gh": "2.40.0"` → `gh=2.40.0`). Use these whenever they cover what the user wants — they get BuildKit cache-mount benefits and, for `gh`, automatic keyring layer gating.
+1. **Toggles** for opinionated package installs typeclaw knows how to layer correctly (`tmux`, `gh`, `python`, `ffmpeg`, `cjkFonts`, `cloudflared`, `claudeCode`). Most are apt packages — boolean for on/off, version string for an apt pin (e.g. `"gh": "2.40.0"` → `gh=2.40.0`) — and benefit from BuildKit cache mounts. `cloudflared` and `claudeCode` are the exceptions: `cloudflared` downloads the pinned GitHub release, `claudeCode` runs Anthropic's `curl | bash` installer; both are boolean-only. Use a toggle whenever it covers what the user wants over a hand-rolled `append` entry.
 2. **`append`** is the escape hatch for everything the toggles don't cover. An array of single-line Dockerfile instructions spliced in right before `ENTRYPOINT`, prefixed with a `# Custom lines from typeclaw.json#docker.file.append.` comment.

-| `tmux`     | no       | boolean \| string | Default `true`. `false` omits tmux from the apt install. String pins the Debian package version (e.g. `"3.3a-3"` → `tmux=3.3a-3`).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
-| `gh`       | no       | boolean \| string | Default `true`. `false` omits **both** the `gh` package and the GitHub CLI keyring bootstrap layer (skipping the network roundtrip on cold builds). String pins the version.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
-| `python`   | no       | boolean           | Default `true`. Fans out to `python3 python3-pip python3-venv python-is-python3` (the bundle that makes `python` and `pip` resolve correctly inside the container). Boolean-only — no version pin, because Debian's `python3` is a meta-package that doesn't accept a useful pin.                                                                                                                                     |
-| `ffmpeg`   | no       | boolean \| string | Default `false`. `true` apt-installs ffmpeg (~80 MB of codecs). String pins the version.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
-| `cjkFonts` | no       | boolean           | Default `true`. Installs `fonts-noto-cjk` (~56 MB) so Chromium (used by `agent-browser`) renders Korean/Japanese/Chinese glyphs correctly in screenshots, `page.pdf()`, and other raster output. `false` skips the layer entirely (DOM/innerText scraping is unaffected by font absence — only raster output shows tofu boxes). Boolean-only: the package is a metapackage tracking upstream Noto, no useful apt pin. |

Installs `fonts-noto-cjk` (~56 MB) so Chromium (used by `agent-browser`) renders Korean/Japanese/Chinese glyphs correctly in screenshots, `page.pdf()`, and other raster output. `false` skips the layer entirely (DOM/innerText scraping is unaffected by font absence — only raster output shows tofu boxes). Boolean-only: the package is a metapackage tracking upstream Noto, no useful apt pin.                           |
+| `cloudflared` | no       | boolean           | Default `true`. Downloads the pinned `cloudflared` GitHub release (~35 MB) into the image so `cloudflare-quick` tunnels work on the next `start` without a separate Dockerfile edit. `false` skips the layer entirely on agents that don't use tunnels. Boolean-only — pinning is owned by the typeclaw release.                                                                                                                                |
+| `xvfb`        | no       | boolean           | Default `true`. Installs `xvfb` (~5 MB) so the entrypoint shim can spawn a virtual X server and export `DISPLAY=:99`, giving headed Chrome (agent-browser `--headed`, headful Playwright) a real X11 display to defeat headless-mode WAF fingerprinting. `false` skips the layer; the shim self-heals (no `Xvfb` on PATH → execs the agent without `DISPLAY`). Boolean-only — xvfb tracks the upstream X server release with no useful apt pin. |
+| `claudeCode`  | no       | boolean           | Default `false`. `true` runs Anthropic's official `curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh \| bash` in a dedicated layer (between agent-browser and the entrypoint shim). Not apt: no version-pin variant; the upstream installer manages channels via env vars. Pairs with the `typeclaw-claude-code` skill, which documents the auth + tmux-driven usage flow.                                                                                |

 - **Do not promise to post to a channel the speaker's role does not cover.** The router drops every inbound where the speaking author resolves to a role without `channel.respond`. If the user wants you to post somewhere new, the prerequisite is a `roles` edit + restart, not a retry.
 - **Do not conflate "stop replying" with "remove the role's match-rule".** Removing the match-rule cuts off both inbound visibility and outbound posting. If the user just wants quieter behavior, edit `engagement` instead.
 - **Do not edit the `Dockerfile` directly.** It is autogenerated and rewritten on every `typeclaw start` from `src/init/dockerfile.ts` in the typeclaw repo. Manual edits will be silently overwritten (and auto-committed away if the working tree is dirty). Customizations belong in the `docker.file` block (toggles or `append`).
