## What it is
tmuxomatic is a Python-based tmux session manager that defines window layouts using 'windowgrams' — simple ASCII rectangles where character groups represent pane position, size, and shape. It replaces complex nested pane-split configurations with an intuitive visual format plus minimal three-letter commands for focus, directory, and run directives.

## Use cases
- manage tmux sessions declaratively
- define tmux window pane layouts visually
- restore tmux session setups
- split terminal windows into panes easily
- share reproducible tmux workspace configurations
- run commands in specific tmux panes on session start

## When to choose
- you find other tmux session managers too complicated
- you want a visual, ASCII-art way to define pane layouts
- you need up to 62 panes per window with flexible shapes
- you prefer simple session files over nested YAML/JSON configs

## When to avoid
- you don't use tmux
- you need a actively developed tool with recent releases
- you need plugin ecosystems or IDE integration
- you require a permissive license for the full project (no top-level license file)
