Skill Documentation and Enhancements
## Summary
Add documentation for the **terminal-manager** skill — a chat-driven tmux session manager accessible via `/term` commands.
## What's included
- `docs/tools/terminal-manager.md` — English documentation
- `docs/zh-CN/tools/terminal-manager.md` — Chinese (zh-CN) documentation
## Features documented
- **Session management**: list, create, kill, and clear tmux sessions from chat
- **Output viewing**: capture and display terminal output (last 50 lines)
- **Command execution**: send commands to running sessions
- **Screenshot rendering**: macOS-style terminal window PNG with title bar and traffic light buttons
- **Terminal.app integration**: attach existing terminal windows to the managed tmux server
## Skill overview
The terminal-manager skill uses a dedicated tmux socket (`$TMPDIR/openclaw-term.sock`) to isolate managed sessions. Commands:
| Command | Action |
|---------|--------|
| `/term` | List all sessions |
| `/term <session>` | View output |
| `/term <session> screenshot` | Render PNG screenshot |
| `/term <session> send <cmd>` | Send command |
| `/term <session> kill` | Kill session |
| `/term new <name> [cmd]` | Create session |
| `/term clear` | Kill all sessions |
Requires: tmux, Python 3 + Pillow (for screenshots), macOS or Linux.

<h2>Greptile Overview</h2>
<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>
Adds English documentation for the terminal-manager skill that enables tmux session management via `/term` commands. The documentation clearly explains commands, usage examples, screenshot rendering, and installation instructions.
**Key concern:**
- The Chinese translation (`docs/zh-CN/tools/terminal-manager.md`) violates repository guidelines. Per `AGENTS.md` (lines 33-38), `docs/zh-CN/**` files are generated via the i18n pipeline (`scripts/docs-i18n`) and should not be manually added. The zh-CN file should be removed and regenerated using the official translation workflow.
**English documentation quality:**
- Structure and content are clear and well-organized
- Follows standard documentation patterns used in the codebase
- No technical or logical issues identified
<h3>Confidence Score: 3/5</h3>
- Safe to merge after removing the manually-added zh-CN file
- The English documentation is well-written with no technical issues. However, the PR violates repository i18n guidelines by manually adding the zh-CN translation instead of using the automated translation pipeline. This is a process violation that needs correction before merge.
- docs/zh-CN/tools/terminal-manager.md should be removed and regenerated via the i18n pipeline
