Stage

Tmux workspace manager for swain. Creates pane layouts, manages an animated MOTD status panel, and gives the agent direct control over the visual workspace.

Prerequisite: Must be running inside a tmux session ($TMUX must be set). Before running any subcommand, the script checks for tmux — see Error handling below.

Script location

Swain project skills live under skills/ in the project root. For this skill, use:

• skills/swain-stage/scripts/swain-stage.sh — main tmux layout and pane manager
• skills/swain-stage/scripts/swain-motd.py — MOTD status panel (Textual TUI, runs via uv run)
• skills/swain-stage/scripts/swain-motd.sh — legacy bash MOTD (kept as fallback if uv/Textual unavailable)
• skills/swain-stage/references/layouts/ — layout presets
• skills/swain-stage/references/yazi/ — bundled Yazi config used when fileBrowser resolves to yazi
