Remote-control tmux to drive interactive CLIs (python, gdb/lldb, psql, node REPL, ssh, installers, TUIs, other agents) AND manage multi-pane workspaces — split/zoom/resize panes, apply layout presets, save/restore a layout, and watch many panes at once with a status dashboard — by sending keystrokes and scraping pane output on a private socket. Use when you must interact with a long-running or interactive terminal program, build a multi-pane workspace, monitor background work or several panes together, answer prompts, or observe a process over time — not for one-off non-interactive commands.
