libtmux_mcp.prompts.recipes.build_dev_workspace(session_name: str, log_command: str = "watch -n 1 date") -> str
```

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.

## Parameters

- `session_name` (str): Name for the new session.
- `log_command` (str): 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.
