execute-command

Run commands in a tmux pane, retrieve results, and handle interactive applications using rawMode. Avoid multi-line constructs for non-rawMode executions. Ideal for terminal session control and monitoring.

Instructions

Execute a command in a tmux pane and get results. For interactive applications (REPLs, editors), use rawMode=true. IMPORTANT: When rawMode=false (default), avoid heredoc syntax (cat << EOF) and other multi-line constructs as they conflict with command wrapping. For file writing, prefer: printf 'content\n' > file, echo statements, or write to temp files instead
