# workflow-threads-manager

A skill for anyone running several Claude Code sessions against one repo. It checks what reached main, whether each change has a changelog entry, and if the live site is healthy.

## What it does

Run a dozen sessions on the same project and you lose track of what shipped and what is still sitting in a branch. This skill does the rounds for you: it reads the commits on `main` since the last check, goes through the transcripts of idle sessions, and compares branches and worktrees.

The work happens in `scripts/`. `repo-status.sh` reports where `main` is and which branches hold commits it lacks. `audit-changelog.py <since-rev>` walks every commit since a revision and flags a missing version or missing pictures. `live-check.sh [url]` fetches the live page and the assets it points at — a page returning 200 while its art returns 404 means the deploy is broken. The scripts are slow under load, so the skill suggests running them with `run_in_background` and reading the output file.

It drives the session tools `mcp__ccd_session_mgmt__*`: list sessions, read events, send a message, archive. If those show up as deferred tool names, load them with ToolSearch first. Every check starts by reading the project's `AGENTS.md`, because other sessions keep editing the rules; where the two disagree, `AGENTS.md` wins. The skill never deploys or rolls back live itself. One thing to know before archiving: it deletes the thread's worktree, ignored screenshots included, so `save-captures.sh` runs first.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill workflow-threads-manager -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/workflow-threads-manager/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/workflow-threads-manager/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill workflow-threads-manager -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/workflow-threads-manager/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill workflow-threads-manager -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/workflow-threads-manager/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MengTo/Skills workflow-threads-manager
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/workflow-threads-manager/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill workflow-threads-manager -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/MengTo/Skills --path agent-skills/workflow/workflow-threads-manager
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/workflow-threads-manager/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill workflow-threads-manager -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/MengTo/Skills/tree/HEAD/agent-skills/workflow/workflow-threads-manager/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- see what landed on main since the last check
- catch commits with no changelog entry or missing screenshots
- verify the live site is current and not broken
- tell finished sessions apart from ones cut off mid-task
- archive done threads without losing their screenshots

## Example prompts
- check threads
- check new changes
- are the threads merged and pushed?

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE b8c2a28f62e3fe88
```text

name: workflow-threads-manager
description: Oversee the other Claude threads (sessions) working on the same project. Check what each is doing, confirm finished work is merged to main, has its changelog entry with screenshots, and is live, archive threads that are truly done, and restart or flag threads that were cut off. Use when the user says "check threads", "check new changes", "are the threads merged and pushed", "archive the done threads", or asks what the other sessions are up to. Project specifics (changelog format, live site, capture folders) go in an optional local references/<project>.md next to this skill.

# Workflow: threads manager

The user runs many Claude threads at once on one repository, and asks this thread to keep track of them. Each check answers four questions:

1. **What landed on `main`** since the last check, and does every change have its changelog entry with its pictures?
2. **Is live healthy and current**, or is it broken or behind `main`?
3. **What is each thread doing**: running, finished, cut off mid-task, or waiting on the user?
4. **What can be archived**, and what needs the user?

If this skill has a `references/<project>.md` for the current project, read it. Read the project's `AGENTS.md` first on every check, because other threads keep changing the rules (the live host, the changelog format, the size limits). Where `AGENTS.md` and this skill disagree, `AGENTS.md` wins.

## Tools

- **Session tools** (`mcp__ccd_session_mgmt__*`). If any of these show up only as deferred tool names, load them with ToolSearch first.
  - `list_sessions`: who is running, idle, pinned or archived.
  - `get_session "self"`: this thread's own id. Another thread can share its title.
  - `list_events`: a thread's recent transcript.
  - `send_message`: relay work to a thread, or restart one.
  - `archive_session`: archive a finished thread.
- **Scripts** in `scripts/`. They are slow under load, so run them with `run_in_background` and read the output file.
  - `repo-status.sh`: where `main` is, local branches holding commits that `main` lacks, and worktrees with uncommitted edits (newest edit time, and whether the worktree is locked).
```
