Tmux UI Tripwire

Category: Product  ·  Sub-category: ux-research  ·  Last updated:
Write or debug tmux-driven end-to-end TUI tests ("tripwires") for the ainb terminal app. Use when the user asks to "write a tmux test", "add a tripwire", "verify the TUI in tmux", "test feature X by pressing key Y", "validate plugin Z renders", or when editing any file under `crates/ainb-core/tests/tripwire_*.rs`. Codifies the silent traps we hit during Phase 7 plugin testing — macOS AMFI SIGKILL of staged binaries (exit 137, no stderr), first-run wizard intercepting keystrokes, EnvFilter crate-name drift hiding logs, and substring-OR assertions that pass while the feature is broken. Use proactively before writing any new `tripwire_*.rs` test, and reference whenever an existing tripwire fails for non-obvious reasons.

What this skill does

Tmux UI Tripwire is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the ux-research sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/tmux-ui-tripwire/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user asks to "write a tmux test", "add a tripwire", "verify the TUI in tmux", "test feature X by pressing key Y", "validate plugin Z renders", or when editing any file under `crates/ainb-core/tests/tripwire_*.rs`.

Who uses this skill

It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 116,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
