Codeman Session Orchestrator

Lets an agent inside a Codeman session drive the Codeman HTTP API to spawn, prompt, wait on, and clean up parallel worker sessions.

AutomationAdvanced★ 755⑂ 107AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 14, 2026

What it does

  • Calls the Codeman server's HTTP API from inside a Codeman-spawned terminal session to manage other sessions.
  • Ships a pre-written shell preamble with four verbs — spawn_workers, sendwait, last_text, delete_session — so one Bash call can spawn N workers concurrently, task them, and collect their answers.
  • Handles readiness detection (waiting for the composer to paint), auto-answering Claude Code's workspace-trust dialog, self-healing a swallowed Enter, and a fail-closed guard that can never delete the calling session.
  • Supports claude workers and DeepSeek Harness workers (beta:deepseek) through the same four verbs.
  • Resolves credentials from an inherited CODEMAN_PASSWORD or the data dir's .env.

Who it's for

  • Codeman users who want to parallelize work across sessions.
  • Builders of multi-agent pipelines where one agent supervises several sub-agents.
  • Anyone who has hit real-world issues: half-spawned workers, duplicate prompts, orphaned sessions.

Note: outside a CODEMAN_MUX=1 environment (a Codeman-managed session) the skill refuses to act. It is not a general-purpose skill.

Examples

  1. "Spawn alpha and beta workers, have each survey a different repo and summarize" → run the §1 block once: concurrent spawn, prompts dispatched, answers read, only finished workers deleted.
  2. "Run beta on DeepSeek" → name the case beta:deepseek; the rest of the flow is unchanged.
  3. "Watch another session until it prints X" → use the wait-output endpoint to block until the match.
  4. After deleting workers, list leftover scratch directories via GET /api/v1/cases/agent-created and clean up.

Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude 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 && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r Codeman/plugins/codeman/skills/codeman ~/.claude/skills/

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

  1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/Ark0N/Codeman.git
  2. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  3. Copy the skill in: cp -r Codeman/plugins/codeman/skills/codeman ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Confirm ~/.claude/skills/codeman/ contains SKILL.md and the reference/ directory.
  5. Run a Codeman server (1.18.3+ recommended) and launch Claude Code inside a Codeman-spawned session.
  6. In that session run echo $CODEMAN_MUX $CODEMAN_API_URL to verify the environment variables are set; if they are empty, the skill will not run.
  7. Ask something like "spawn two workers and run these tasks in parallel" to trigger it. If you see a 401, check CODEMAN_USERNAME/CODEMAN_PASSWORD in the data dir's .env.
