## Using Codex via tmux-cli
Use `tmux-cli` to launch and interact with OpenAI Codex (`ccc` alias) in a separate tmux pane. This lets you delegate tasks to Codex without blocking your current session.
**Do NOT use the Codex MCP server (`mcp__codex__codex`) for long-running commands.** Use `tmux-cli` + `ccc` instead — it runs in a separate pane, won't time out, and lets you capture output when ready.
### The `ccc` alias
`ccc` runs `codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox` (with Node/nvm auto-setup). Use it for tasks you want Codex to handle autonomously.
### Workflow
**Always launch a shell pane first** — if a command errors without a shell, the pane closes and output is lost:
```bash
# 1. Launch a shell (returns pane ID, e.g. "2")
tmux-cli launch "zsh"
# 2. Send a codex command to that pane
tmux-cli send 'ccc "your prompt here"' --pane=2
# 3. Wait for codex to finish (no output for N seconds = idle)
tmux-cli wait_idle --pane=2 --idle-time=10.0
# 4. Capture the output
tmux-cli capture --pane=2
# 5. Clean up when done
tmux-cli kill --pane=2
```
### Key tmux-cli commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `tmux-cli launch "zsh"` | Start a shell pane (do this FIRST) |
| `tmux-cli send "cmd" --pane=N` | Send text + Enter to pane N |
| `tmux-cli send "text" --pane=N --enter=False` | Send text without pressing Enter |
| `tmux-cli send "text" --pane=N --delay-enter=0.5` | Custom delay before Enter (default 1.5s) |
| `tmux-cli wait_idle --pane=N --idle-time=3.0` | Wait until pane has no output for N seconds |
| `tmux-cli capture --pane=N` | Capture current pane output |
| `tmux-cli list_panes` | List all panes (JSON with IDs and status) |
| `tmux-cli kill --pane=N` | Kill a pane (cannot kill your own) |
| `tmux-cli interrupt --pane=N` | Send Ctrl+C to a pane |
| `tmux-cli escape --pane=N` | Send Escape to a pane |
### Pane identifiers
- Just the pane number: `2` (current window)
- Full format: `session:window.pane` (e.g. `myapp:1.2`)
### Tips
- Use `wait_idle` instead of polling with repeated `capture` calls
- Save the pane ID returned by `launch` for subsequent commands
- Use `capture` to check state before sending input
- For long-running Codex tasks, increase `--idle-time` (e.g. `--idle-time=15.0`)
