Codeman Session Orchestrator

Drive the Codeman session manager over its HTTP API to spawn, prompt, wait on, and clean up worker sessions across any installed agent CLI.

AutomationAdvanced★ 832⑂ 129AI score 8/10Last updated: Nov 8, 2026

What it does

  • From inside a Codeman-managed terminal session, calls the Codeman HTTP API to list, spawn, prompt, watch and delete other sessions.
  • Starts worker sessions in any installed CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Antigravity, Grok, DeepSeek Harness, OMP), sends them prompts, and blocks until they finish via wait / wait-output / send-and-wait.
  • Runs the local model Codeman installed on your Mac as a worker, and supports direct cross-session messaging between Claude workers.
  • Reads saved Codex conversation history offline — no server or managed session required.
  • Ships hard-won guards in code: fail-closed self-delete protection, reading the workspace-trust dialog instead of blindly pressing Enter, and re-pressing Enter until a Claude composer actually accepts the prompt.

Who it's for

  • Existing Codeman users who want to parallelize work across multiple worker sessions.
  • Anyone who wants a second opinion from a different CLI or model on the same task.
  • Power users running several worktrees or long jobs concurrently.

Examples

  1. "Split this refactor across three workers" → spawn three workers, task each, wait for all, collect answers.
  2. "Get Codex to review this design too" → codeman agent spawn --working-dir /path/to/project --mode codex.
  3. "Use the local model on this Mac" → spawn a local worker; the skill starts the runtime, waits for the composer, then sends the prompt.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ark0N/Codeman/HEAD/plugins/codeman/skills/codeman/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the plugins/codeman/skills/codeman folder from the GitHub repo Ark0N/Codeman into my ~/.claude/skills/codeman/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/Ark0N/Codeman.git /tmp/codeman && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/codeman/plugins/codeman/skills/codeman ~/.claude/skills/codeman

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/Ark0N/Codeman.git /tmp/codeman
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r /tmp/codeman/plugins/codeman/skills/codeman ~/.claude/skills/codeman
  5. Note: Codeman normally installs this skill automatically where each CLI looks for it (.claude/skills/, .agents/skills/) when it spawns a session — manual install is only a fallback.
  6. Live API operations require a Codeman-managed session: check that echo $CODEMAN_MUX prints 1.
  7. Make sure curl and jq are available (jq --version; install with brew install jq if missing).
  8. Restart Claude Code and try: "spawn two Codeman workers and run these tasks in parallel."
