git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Ark0N/Codeman.git
cp -r Codeman/plugins/codeman/skills/codeman .cursor/skills/codeman # project; ~/.cursor/skills for all projectsSource (checked Oct 7, 2026): code.claude.com/docs/en/skills (opens in a new tab), code.claude.com/docs/en/plugin-marketplaces (opens in a new tab), support.claude.com/en/articles/12512180-using-skills-in-claude (opens in a new tab), learn.chatgpt.com/docs/build-skills (opens in a new tab), cursor.com/docs/context/skills (opens in a new tab)
What this skill does
Drive Codeman, the session manager this agent is running inside, over its HTTP API: list sessions, start worker sessions, send them prompts, block until they finish (wait / wait-output / send-and-wait), read their output, and clean up; where available, message claude workers directly (Claude Code cross-session messaging). Use when asked to orchestrate or parallelize work across Codeman sessions, watch another session, or start and manage workers.
