About tmuxai

alvinunreal/tmuxai

AI-Powered, Non-Intrusive Terminal Assistant

Integrates directly with tmux panes to observe terminal state and context across multiple windows, executing commands with permission through a dedicated execution pane. Supports multiple AI models via OpenRouter, OpenAI, and Azure APIs, plus custom knowledge bases for project-specific context and "squashing" for token optimization. Operates in observe and watch modes, allowing the assistant to monitor command execution and reactively help based on terminal output and pane visibility.
