Drives cmux as an agent cockpit to boot, race, and monitor visible agent teams. Mac-only. USE WHEN cmux, agent cockpit, boot an agent team, orchestrate agents, three-tier orchestration, agent race, needle-in-haystack hotfix, agent fleet, 2x2 fleet, watch/monitor my agents, scale compute to scale impact, send a prompt to a running agent, multiplexer, terminal cockpit, orchestrator lead worker. NOT FOR one-shot in-harness subagents with no terminal to watch (use Agent/Workflow), the Pulse dashboard itself (cmux feeds it, use Pulse), browser deploy-verification (use Interceptor), or Linux/Windows (cmux is Mac-only — use tmux).

```

## From README

CMUX Make cmux the cockpit for every agent — LifeOS's own and your hands-on coding teams. One command boots a named, color-identified workspace of agents you can see, prompt, and steer, because an agent you can't see is an agent you can't improve. {{DANAME}} drives them through cmux's real send/read/open-close loop; a poll-based monitor speaks up when they finish. Everything routes through one wrapper: bun /.claude/skills/CMUX/Tools/cmux.ts . It auto-launches the cmux app — but cmux's socket is default-deny, so driving it needs auth (see the first Gotcha). Status (2026-07-07): built and offline-verified — wrapper is type-clean (tsc/bun build), voice works live, public-clean grep passes, Kitty hooks untouched. Live-driving (boot-team/race/fleet/monitor) is UNPROVEN — it needs the socket-auth handshake, which has not yet executed. To prove it: run the wrapper inside a cmux surface (inherits auth), or set a cmux Settings socket password → CMUXSOCKETPASSWORD.
