Drive Codeman, the session manager this agent is running inside, over its HTTP API, from any agent CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Antigravity, Grok Build, DeepSeek Harness, OMP): list sessions, start worker sessions in any installed CLI, 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).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Driving Codeman from inside a session

For **saved Codex conversation history**, use `codeman history read` and
[reference/history.md](reference/history.md). This is a read-only local command:
route to it **before §0**, including outside a managed session. It needs no API
URL, credentials or running server. All live API operations below retain §0.

You are an agent running inside a Codeman-managed terminal session. Codeman is the
server that spawned you; its HTTP API can start, prompt, watch, and delete other
sessions.

**Read as far as your job needs and no further.** §0 is the bootstrap, run once. §1 is
the whole fast path: spawn N workers, task them, collect answers. **If §1 covers your
job, run it and stop there.** The sections after it are for jobs it does not cover, and
reading them to be thorough is the main reason a ten-second run takes minutes. §2 is the
verb table when your job is a different one. §3 and §4 are the rules; §6 is setup and
credentials, which you only need when something 401s.

Everything else loads on demand, and is meant to be opened at one section, not read
through: the verbs in detail (the old §5) in [reference/verbs.md](reference/verbs.md),
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ark0n/codeman/codeman@sha256:af51bc834ec28b2b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.5908cc5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
