Server behavior and tool contracts may change. Tool availability depends on the server configuration.

* **build_dev_workspace**( [session_name](https://libtmux.org/en/py/latest/mcp/prompts/build_dev_workspace/#mcp.prompt.build_dev_workspace.parameter.session_name), [log_command](https://libtmux.org/en/py/latest/mcp/prompts/build_dev_workspace/#mcp.prompt.build_dev_workspace.parameter.log_command)?, )

  prompt[¶](https://libtmux.org/en/py/latest/mcp/prompts/build_dev_workspace/#mcp.prompt.build_dev_workspace)

  Construct a simple 3-pane development session.

  Produces editor (top), terminal (bottom-left), logs (bottom-right) layout — the most common shape for a working session.

  * MCP request method

    `prompts/get` Send `build_dev_workspace` as the prompt name, with the arguments below.

  ## Arguments[#](https://libtmux.org/en/py/latest/mcp/prompts/build_dev_workspace/#mcp.prompt.build_dev_workspace.parameters)

  * `session_name`[#](https://libtmux.org/en/py/latest/mcp/prompts/build_dev_workspace/#mcp.prompt.build_dev_workspace.parameter.session_name)

    Name for the new session.

    Provide a value matching the following JSON schema: {“type”:“string”}. Encode non-string values as JSON.

    * Binding

      Prompt argument

    * Required

      Yes

  * `log_command`[#](https://libtmux.org/en/py/latest/mcp/prompts/build_dev_workspace/#mcp.prompt.build_dev_workspace.parameter.log_command)

    Command to run in the logs pane. Defaults to an OS-neutral `watch -n 1 date` so the recipe does not assume Linux log paths. Pass e.g. `"tail -f /var/log/syslog"` on Linux or `"log stream --level info"` on macOS.
