Configure tmux Status Bars and Widgets
tmux status bars can be hard to customize because frameworks override many settings. This skill guides framework choice, plugin setup, widgets, multiple bars, and reload checks.

Test it
Using "configuring-tmux". I want a tmux bar with time, CPU, and network speed.
Expected outcome:
A framework recommendation, plugin list, widget layout, reload checklist, and notes about font or theme dependencies.
Using "configuring-tmux". My second tmux bar is blank.
Expected outcome:
- Check the tmux version and row count first.
- Confirm that the framework is not overwriting the default bar.
- Verify each widget emits one non-empty line.
Using "configuring-tmux". Add finance and news widgets to tmux.
Expected outcome:
A plan for one-line scripts, cache intervals, provider limits, and fallback text when network requests fail.
Security Audit
Medium RiskMost static findings are false positives from Markdown code fences, tmux syntax, expected dotfile paths, and documented public URLs. The fixed /tmp cache examples and pane-content persistence setting are real local privacy and integrity concerns. No prompt injection or data-exfiltration intent was found.
Confirmed security concerns (1)
Capability review items (2)
These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Standardize terminal setup
Create a consistent tmux framework, plugin list, and status layout for development machines.
Add workflow widgets
Add clocks, system metrics, finance data, weather, or news to a daily tmux workspace.
Resolve framework conflicts
Diagnose why tmux status changes disappear after reloads or conflict with a theme framework.
Try These Prompts
Help me configure a simple tmux status bar. Ask which framework I use, then suggest safe beginner settings.
Add weather, finance, news, and world clocks to my tmux status bar. Use one-line outputs and caching where needed.
Review my tmux status configuration. Identify why changes are not visible and explain the reload steps.
Plan a tmux 3.2 setup with three status rows, framework-owned bar zero, custom widgets, and plugin integration. Include safety checks before edits.
Best Practices
- Ask before changing dotfiles, then back up the current tmux configuration.
- Keep network widgets cached and limited to one output line.
- Use framework-specific theme variables when a framework owns the default bar.
Avoid
- Installing plugins from unknown repositories without user approval.
- Using fixed shared cache paths for private widget data.
- Editing raw status options when the active framework will overwrite them.
