Install
openclaw skills install sandboxer-tmuxDispatch coding tasks to tmux sessions via Sandboxer. Use when you need to spawn Claude Code, Gemini, OpenCode, bash, or lazygit sessions in workspace repos, monitor their progress, or send them commands.
openclaw skills install sandboxer-tmuxPower-user skill. Sandboxer gives agents full access to tmux sessions, workspace files, and terminal output on your server. Intended for dedicated AI machines where agents run with root access. Not for shared or untrusted environments.
Sandboxer runs on localhost:8081. No auth needed from localhost.
# 1. Spawn a Claude session in a repo
curl "localhost:8081/api/create?type=claude&dir=/root/workspaces/AGENT/data/repos/PROJECT"
# 2. Send it a task
curl "localhost:8081/api/send?session=SESSION_NAME&text=Fix+the+failing+tests"
# 3. Check progress
curl "localhost:8081/api/session-monitor?session=SESSION_NAME"
# 4. Kill when done
curl "localhost:8081/api/kill?session=SESSION_NAME"
Session types: claude, bash, lazygit, gemini, opencode
Sandboxer manages /root/workspaces/ — a single git repo containing all agent workspaces.

data/repos/ contains separate git repos — each project has its own .git, branches, remotes.gitignore excludes data/ — repo contents stay in their own git, not the workspace commit.md files, .gitignore, and cronjobs/| Endpoint | What |
