## What it is
smux is a one-command tmux configuration with Option-key bindings, mouse support, and pane labels, bundled with a tmux-bridge CLI. The CLI lets AI agents read, type, and send keys to any tmux pane, enabling agent-to-agent communication across panes.

## Use cases
- set up a keyboard-friendly tmux config in one command
- let Claude Code read and type into a Codex pane
- enable agent-to-agent communication in tmux panes
- label tmux panes and address them by name from scripts
- automate terminal interactions from any bash-capable AI agent

## When to choose
- you use tmux on macOS or Linux and want a batteries-included config
- you want multiple AI coding agents to collaborate across terminal panes
- you need a simple CLI for scripts or agents to drive terminal sessions

## When to avoid
- you don't use tmux or prefer GUI terminals
- you need Windows support
- you want a full agent orchestration framework rather than pane-level communication
