## What it is
tmuxp is a session manager for tmux that lets users save and load tmux sessions from declarative YAML or JSON workspace files. It is built on libtmux and offers both a CLI and a Python library API.

## Use cases
- save and load tmux sessions from config files
- set up a multi-pane tmux workspace for a project automatically
- convert tmuxinator or teamocil configs to tmuxp
- freeze a live tmux session into a YAML file
- script tmux session creation in Python

## When to choose
- you use tmux daily and want reproducible project workspaces
- you want declarative, version-controlled tmux session configs
- you need to migrate from tmuxinator or teamocil
- you want a Python API to automate tmux

## When to avoid
- you don't use tmux
- you only need simple ad-hoc tmux sessions without config files
- you need a graphical terminal multiplexer
