# CMUX

Boot a team of agents and watch them work, on a Mac

## What this does

When you want several AI agents working at once and you want to see them rather than trust them, this drives cmux as a cockpit for that. You boot a team, watch them, race them against each other, and talk to one mid-run. It only works on a Mac.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Start a team of agents and keep an eye on them
- Race several agents at the same problem
- Send a prompt to an agent that is already running

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About CMUX

This drives cmux as a cockpit for agent teams: booting them, racing them, and monitoring them while they run. The point is that the teams are visible - a terminal cockpit rather than work that happens out of sight.

It covers orchestrating a fleet, three-tier orchestration with an orchestrator leading workers, sending a prompt into an agent already running, and the needle-in-a-haystack hotfix where you scale compute at a problem.

It is Mac-only. Its own notes are clear about what it is not for: one-shot subagents inside the harness with no terminal to watch, the Pulse dashboard itself, browser deploy-verification, and Linux or Windows, where it points you at tmux.

## Questions

### Is CMUX safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of CMUX and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 47df8eebf08d, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/cmux.

### How do I install CMUX?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/cmux on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/danielmiessler/LifeOS/tree/47df8eebf08d78a3ef5851ec2f9b751bae6558fb/LifeOS/install/skills/CMUX. Install from that link, not the branch.
