Add cmux to agent handoffs and a dedicated "cmux workspace per worktree" recipe. Documents the pre-* vs post-* hook requirement (cmux socket restricts access to processes with cmux terminal ancestry) and the workspace ref parsing pattern.

The skill reference file needs syncing — test_command_pages_and_skill_files_are_in_sync fails because skills/worktrunk/reference/tips-patterns.md wasn't regenerated after the docs change. Running the sync test locally fixes it:
cargo test --test integration test_command_pages_and_skill_files_are_in_syncThen commit the updated skills/worktrunk/reference/tips-patterns.md.
The content itself looks good — valid hook types, correct template variables, and the pre-* vs post-* explanation is a useful gotcha to document. I can push the sync fix if you'd like.
…ence
Use {{ repo | sanitize }}/{{ branch | sanitize }} for cmux workspace names
so it's immediately clear which repo a workspace belongs to. Also sync
the skill reference file with the docs content.

CI is failing on Linux and macOS — test_command_pages_and_skill_files_are_in_sync still reports skills/worktrunk/reference/tips-patterns.md as out of sync.
The issue: the skill reference file was hand-edited, but the sync test auto-generates it from docs/content/tips-patterns.md — and the generator HTML-escapes quotes inside code blocks (" → "). The manually written " characters don't match.
The fix is to run the sync test locally (which overwrites the file with the canonical version) and commit the result. I'll push this now.
The auto-generator HTML-escapes quotes in code blocks, so the manually written file didn't match. Regenerated via the sync test. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
… resolved (#145) ## Summary - Fix the review skill's trivial-change-skip path to approve when prior bot-flagged issues are resolved, instead of unconditionally skipping approval. ## Evidence **Run:** [23976359110](https://github.com/max-sixty/worktrunk/actions/runs/23976359110) (`tend-review` on `docs/cmux-integration`, PR max-sixty/worktrunk#1907) The bot reviewed the PR and flagged a sync-test issue (COMMENTED review). It then pushed a fix commit itself. On the next run, the trivial-change-skip path fired correctly (only 4 lines changed in 1 file), but the instruction "do not submit a new approval — the existing review stands" meant the PR was left with zero approvals despite all concerns being addressed. **Classification:** Structural — the old instruction deterministically prevents approval on the trivial-change-skip path regardless of the prior review's state. Replaying this scenario would always produce the same result. **Root cause:** The trivial-change-skip instruction treated all prior reviews as equivalent. A prior APPROVE review doesn't need refreshing, but a prior COMMENT review that flagged issues does need an APPROVE once those issues are fixed. ## Gate assessment | Gate | Assessment | |---|---| | Confidence | Structural failure, 1 clear occurrence — sufficient per gate rules | | Magnitude | Targeted fix (rewording 1 paragraph, no new sections) — normal evidence bar | | Historical evidence | No prior occurrences in tracking issue #133 | ## Change Rewrote the trivial-change-skip paragraph to: resolve threads first (step 7), then check whether the prior bot review was a COMMENT with now-addressed issues → approve. Otherwise, keep the existing "do not submit a new review" behavior. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-authored-by: continuous-bot <269947486+continuous-bot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

@alvistar are you very confident these are correct and work well?

Heads-up: the grep -F match in the pre-switch/pre-remove snippets is a substring match, so sibling workspaces that share a prefix (demo / demo2) resolve to the wrong workspace:N. Details + an awk-based fix inline.

Does @worktrunk-bot resolve conflicts; integrate the suggested changes after verifying them, thanks |
Resolves conflicts with main (agent handoff wording change) and addresses reviewer feedback on the cmux recipe: - max-sixty asked about less string matching: switch to cmux list-workspaces --json, parsed with jq. - kay-schecker noted that grep -F is a substring match and selects the wrong workspace when sibling names share a prefix (e.g., demo vs demo2). Exact match on the JSON title field removes the ambiguity. Adds jq as a prerequisite.

Yes —
Merged main to resolve conflicts. Pushed as b25df08. CI is running. |
@max-sixty there is no structured output in the latest version (0.63.2) |
|
@worktrunk-bot please revert the recent changes if that's the case... also please put an issue into the tend repo; possibly we should suggest testing changes manually which don't have automated tests sorry @kay-schecker and thanks for pointing that out |
kay-schecker reported that cmux 0.63.2 has no --json flag on list-workspaces — the switch to structured parsing was based on a fabricated CLI reference. Restore the original grep-based lookup and drop the jq prerequisite. The substring-match concern (demo vs demo2) raised in the earlier review remains open; addressing it needs a verified approach.

Reverted the Filed the tend issue: max-sixty/tend#326 — proposes adding guidance for external-tool behavioral claims that can't be verified in CI. The original substring-match concern (demo vs demo2) still stands and wasn't fixed by the revert. Happy to take another pass with the awk-based approach once someone with cmux installed can confirm the exact output format, if you'd like. |

Following up from tend#327: The pre-command parser at
So the structured-output approach is salvageable with the flag moved before the subcommand. |
|
Confirmed against the cmux 0.63.2 source — Caveat from last time: the source confirms flag positioning, but I still can't verify the exact JSON field names without running cmux — the JSON branch prints |
yes, and you should be downloading cmux and checking! |
…mand)
cmux 0.63.2 parses --json as a pre-command flag (CLI/cmux.swift:1647-1650),
so the flag must precede the subcommand: `cmux --json list-workspaces`.
The reverted `cmux list-workspaces --json` form falls through to commandArgs
and is silently ignored, leaving you with text output.
The daemon's workspace.list result (TerminalController.swift:3327-3373)
yields the field shape `{"workspaces": [{"ref", "title", "selected", "index",
"remote", ...}]}`, so jq can exact-match on `.title` instead of grep -F's
substring match (fixes kay-schecker's demo / demo2 ambiguity).
Adds jq as a prerequisite alongside cmux.
Verified by tracing the cmux 0.63.2 source — cmux is a macOS-only AppKit app
and can't be run from Linux CI; please sanity-check the rendered output on
a real cmux install before merging.

Pushed 0f0a4ce5 — switched the lookup back to structured JSON, this time with the flag in the right position: Honesty caveat first: I downloaded the cmux 0.63.2 source tarball but couldn't run the binary. cmux is a Swift/AppKit macOS app (imports What I traced in

CI is red on Linux/macOS/coverage with the same root cause: This is fallout from the auto-generated llms.txt index that landed on main in #2404 — The fix is mechanical: merge main into the branch and re-run Dismissing the prior approval since the merged commit doesn't currently pass CI. |

CI failed on the merged tree (docs/static/llms.txt out of sync after #2404 merged into main)
Regenerates docs/static/llms.txt (added in max-sixty#2404, post merge-base of this branch) so its tips-patterns.md description picks up the "cmux workspaces" addition introduced in 6e259a2.

…t hand-test (#327) ## Problem The bundled `running-in-ci` skill's Grounded Analysis section covers behavioral claims by telling the bot to "run the command yourself" or hedge — but that fallback doesn't obviously apply to external CLIs and APIs that aren't installed in CI and aren't exercised by automated tests. In [worktrunk#1907](max-sixty/worktrunk#1907 (comment)) the bot read upstream mintlify docs describing a `cmux list-workspaces --json` flag, believed it, and committed a recipe that broke for every reader — the installed cmux had no such flag. ## Solution Adds a new `### Verifying external-tool behavior` subsection under Grounded Analysis. It points at two concrete verification paths in order of preference: install and run the tool, or clone its public repo and grep the source. Deferring to a human with the tool installed is the fallback only when both paths fail. The "don't make overconfident claims" framing already lives in the preceding `### User-facing comments require source evidence` subsection. Bad/good example is drawn from the cmux incident: the good path now shows cloning the upstream repo and checking the CLI parser, not asking a human to confirm. ## Testing Skill text only. `pre-commit run` on the modified file passes (typos, trim-whitespace, bang-backtick, end-of-files). --- Closes #326 — automated triage --------- Co-authored-by: tend-agent <270458913+tend-agent@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Maximilian Roos <5635139+max-sixty@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
pre-*hooks must be used instead ofpost-*Context
cmux is a macOS terminal built on libghostty with workspace management via a Unix socket API. This recipe wires up worktrunk hooks so each worktree automatically gets its own cmux workspace.
The
pre-*vspost-*distinction was discovered through debugging:post-*hooks are detached background processes that lose the cmux process ancestry, causing the socket to reject connections with "Access denied — only processes started inside cmux can connect."Test plan
