What types of content can I display in a zone?

You can display periodic command outputs (watch), live terminal shells (pty), one-shot command results (pipe), or TCP network streams (socket).

Can I save my workspace setup?

Yes, my-grid supports layouts that allow you to save and restore specific workspace templates, including pre-defined zone configurations.

Does my-grid require tmux to function?

Yes, my-grid operates as a pane within a tmux session, allowing it to run side-by-side with Claude Code for a unified workspace.

How do I navigate the canvas?

The my-grid canvas is infinite and can be navigated freely using standard vim-style directional keys (h, j, k, l).

Productivity & Workflow

Organizes terminal workspaces with an infinite ASCII canvas and dynamic content zones for visual multitasking.

About

My-grid integrates a spatial, Raskin-inspired ASCII canvas editor directly into the Claude Code environment via tmux. It allows users to manage multiple content streams—such as live logs, shell outputs, and static text—within a persistent, zoomable workspace. This skill is ideal for developers who need side-by-side visualization of system statuses, code trees, or real-time monitoring dashboards while interacting with Claude, providing high-level situational awareness without ever leaving the terminal environment.
