## What it is
A Python CLI tool that creates pre-defined iTerm2 window and pane layouts from YAML files, opening each pane in a specified directory and running specified commands. It is compatible with teamocil layout files and flags, serving as an iTerm2-native alternative to tmux-based session managers.

## Use cases
- set up my dev environment with multiple terminal panes and commands automatically
- open a project with server, logs, and shell panes pre-configured
- save and restore iTerm2 window layouts as YAML files
- replace tmux session scripts with iTerm2-native layouts
- share team workspace terminal layouts via a repo
- run teamocil layouts in iTerm2 instead of tmux

## When to choose
- you use iTerm2 on macOS and want reproducible multi-pane terminal setups
- you already have teamocil YAML layouts and want them to work in iTerm2
- you want per-project layout files checked into version control

## When to avoid
- you don't use iTerm2 or aren't on macOS
- you need tmux sessions with detach/reattach rather than one-shot layout creation
- you need focus control or other unsupported teamocil features
