"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/commands/tabs-exec"
User Selection Syntax
| Syntax | Meaning |
|---|---|
A,C or AC |
Select sessions A and C |

B:pwd, C:git log |
Different commands per session |
all:continue |

awaiting:continue |

Execution
After user confirms, execute via:
# Using tabs-exec
# NOTE: --execute requires the full session JSON from discovery phase, not a minimal stub.
# Claude should pass the full session data obtained from the discovery run above.
echo '{"selections": "B,C", "command": "continue", "sessions": [...session_data_from_discovery...]}' | "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/commands/tabs-exec" --execute
# Direct tmux (for simple commands)
tmux send-keys -t "session:window" "command"
tmux send-keys -t "session:window" C-m # Enter as a separate call, as tmux-automation requires
