Generate tmuxinator YAML configs and tmux.conf for multi-project terminal workspaces. Use this skill whenever the user wants to set up tmux, tmuxinator, manage multiple projects in terminal panes, create a dev workspace layout, or mentions anything about terminal multiplexing, session management, or running multiple projects side by side. Also trigger when users say things like "set up my projects", "I want all my repos open", "terminal layout", or "workspace setup".
Set up a complete tmux + tmuxinator workspace for managing multiple projects in a single terminal session.
