Project Session Manager (PSM) Skill
Quick Start: For simple worktree creation without tmux sessions, use
:
bash
omc teleport #123 # Create worktree for issue/PR
omc teleport my-feature # Create worktree for feature
omc teleport list # List worktrees
See
Teleport Command below for details.
Automate isolated development environments using git worktrees and tmux sessions with Claude Code. Enables parallel work across multiple tasks, projects, and repositories.
Commands
| Command | Description | Example |
|---|
| PR review session | |
| Issue fix session | |
| Feature development | /psm feature omc add-webhooks
|
| List active sessions | |
| Attach to session | |
| Kill session | |
| Clean merged/closed | |
| Current session info | |
Project References
Supported formats:
- Alias: (requires )
- Full:
- URL:
https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
- Current: (uses current directory's repo)
Configuration
Project Aliases ()
json
{
"aliases": {
"omc": {
"repo": "Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode",
"local": "~/Workspace/oh-my-claudecode",
"default_base": "main"
}
},
"defaults": {
"worktree_root": "~/.psm/worktrees",
"cleanup_after_days": 14
}
}
Providers
PSM supports multiple issue tracking providers:
| Provider | CLI Required | Reference Formats | Commands |
|---|
| GitHub (default) | | , , GitHub URLs | review, fix, feature |
| Jira | | (if PROJ configured), | fix, feature |
Jira Configuration
To use Jira, add an alias with
and
:
json
{
"aliases": {
"mywork": {
"jira_project": "MYPROJ",
"repo": "mycompany/my-project",
"local": "~/Workspace/my-project",
"default_base": "develop",
"provider": "jira"
}
}
}
Important: The
field is still required for cloning the git repository. Jira tracks issues, but you work in a git repo.
For non-GitHub repos, use
instead:
json
{
"aliases": {
"private": {
"jira_project": "PRIV",
"clone_url": "git@gitlab.internal:team/repo.git",
"local": "~/Workspace/repo",
"provider": "jira"
}
}
}
Jira Reference Detection
PSM only recognizes
format as Jira when
is explicitly configured as a
in your aliases. This prevents false positives from branch names like
.
Jira Examples
bash
# Fix a Jira issue (MYPROJ must be configured)
psm fix MYPROJ-123
# Fix using alias (recommended)
psm fix mywork#123
# Feature development (works same as GitHub)
psm feature mywork add-webhooks
# Note: 'psm review' is not supported for Jira (no PR concept)
# Use 'psm fix' for Jira issues
Jira CLI Setup
Install the Jira CLI:
bash
# macOS
brew install ankitpokhrel/jira-cli/jira-cli
# Linux
# See: https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#installation
# Configure (interactive)
jira init
The Jira CLI handles authentication separately from PSM.

Implementation Protocol
When the user invokes a PSM command, follow this protocol:
Parse Arguments
- Subcommand: review, fix, feature, list, attach, kill, cleanup, status
- Reference: project#number, URL, or session ID
- Options: --branch, --base, --no-claude, --no-tmux, etc.
Subcommand:
Purpose: Create PR review session
Steps:
-
Resolve reference:
bash
# Read project aliases
cat ~/.psm/projects.json 2>/dev/null || echo '{"aliases":{}}'
# Parse ref format: alias#num, owner/repo#num, or URL
# Extract: project_alias, repo (owner/repo), pr_number, local_path
-
Fetch PR info:
bash
gh pr view <pr_number> --repo <repo> --json number,title,author,headRefName,baseRefName,body,files,url
-
Ensure local repo exists:
bash
# If local path doesn't exist, clone
if [[ ! -d "$local_path" ]]; then
git clone "https://github.com/$repo.git" "$local_path"
fi
-
Create worktree:
bash
worktree_path="$HOME/.psm/worktrees/$project_alias/pr-$pr_number"
# Fetch PR branch
cd "$local_path"
git fetch origin "pull/$pr_number/head:pr-$pr_number-review"
# Create worktree
git worktree add "$worktree_path" "pr-$pr_number-review"
-
Create session metadata:
bash
cat > "$worktree_path/.psm-session.json" << EOF
{
"id": "$project_alias:pr-$pr_number",
"type": "review",
"project": "$project_alias",
"ref": "pr-$pr_number",
"branch": "<head_branch>",
"base": "<base_branch>",
"created_at": "$(date -Iseconds)",
"tmux_session": "psm:$project_alias:pr-$pr_number",
"worktree_path": "$worktree_path",
"source_repo": "$local_path",
"github": {
"pr_number": $pr_number,
"pr_title": "<title>",
"pr_author": "<author>",
"pr_url": "<url>"
},
"state": "active"
}
EOF
-
Update sessions registry:
bash
# Add to ~/.psm/sessions.json
-
Create tmux session:
bash
tmux new-session -d -s "psm:$project_alias:pr-$pr_number" -c "$worktree_path"
-
Launch Claude Code (unless --no-claude):
bash
tmux send-keys -t "psm:$project_alias:pr-$pr_number" "claude" Enter
-
Output session info:
Session ready!
ID: omc:pr-123
Worktree: ~/.psm/worktrees/omc/pr-123
Tmux: psm:omc:pr-123
To attach: tmux attach -t psm:omc:pr-123
Subcommand:
Purpose: Create issue fix session
Steps:
-
Resolve reference (same as review)
-
Fetch issue info:
bash
gh issue view <issue_number> --repo <repo> --json number,title,body,labels,url
-
Create feature branch:
bash
cd "$local_path"
git fetch origin main
branch_name="fix/$issue_number-$(echo "$title" | tr ' ' '-' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | head -c 30)"
git checkout -b "$branch_name" origin/main
-
Create worktree:
bash
worktree_path="$HOME/.psm/worktrees/$project_alias/issue-$issue_number"
git worktree add "$worktree_path" "$branch_name"
-
Create session metadata (similar to review, type="fix")
-
Update registry, create tmux, launch claude (same as review)
Subcommand:
Purpose: Start feature development
Steps:
-
Resolve project (from alias or path)
-
Create feature branch:
bash
cd "$local_path"
git fetch origin main
branch_name="feature/$feature_name"
git checkout -b "$branch_name" origin/main
-
Create worktree:
bash
worktree_path="$HOME/.psm/worktrees/$project_alias/feat-$feature_name"
git worktree add "$worktree_path" "$branch_name"
-
Create session, tmux, launch claude (same pattern)
Subcommand:
Purpose: List active sessions
Steps:
-
Read sessions registry:
bash
cat ~/.psm/sessions.json 2>/dev/null || echo '{"sessions":{}}'
-
Check tmux sessions:
bash
tmux list-sessions -F "#{session_name}" 2>/dev/null | grep "^psm:"
-
Check worktrees:
bash
ls -la ~/.psm/worktrees/*/ 2>/dev/null
-
Format output:
Active PSM Sessions:
ID | Type | Status | Worktree
-------------------|---------|----------|---------------------------
omc:pr-123 | review | active | ~/.psm/worktrees/omc/pr-123
omc:issue-42 | fix | detached | ~/.psm/worktrees/omc/issue-42
Subcommand:
Purpose: Attach to existing session
Steps:
-
-
Verify session exists:
bash
tmux has-session -t "psm:$session_id" 2>/dev/null
-
Attach:
bash
tmux attach -t "psm:$session_id"
Subcommand:
Purpose: Kill session and cleanup
Steps:
-
Kill tmux session:
bash
tmux kill-session -t "psm:$session_id" 2>/dev/null
-
Remove worktree:
bash
worktree_path=$(jq -r ".sessions[\"$session_id\"].worktree" ~/.psm/sessions.json)
source_repo=$(jq -r ".sessions[\"$session_id\"].source_repo" ~/.psm/sessions.json)
cd "$source_repo"
git worktree remove "$worktree_path" --force
-
Update registry:
bash
# Remove from sessions.json
Subcommand:
Purpose: Clean up merged PRs and closed issues
Steps:
-
Read all sessions
-
For each PR session, check if merged:
bash
gh pr view <pr_number> --repo <repo> --json merged,state
-
For each issue session, check if closed:
bash
gh issue view <issue_number> --repo <repo> --json closed,state
-
Clean up merged/closed sessions:
- Kill tmux session
- Remove worktree
- Update registry
-
Report:
Cleanup complete:
Removed: omc:pr-123 (merged)
Removed: omc:issue-42 (closed)
Kept: omc:feat-auth (active)
Subcommand:
Purpose: Show current session info
Steps:
-
Detect current session from tmux or cwd:
bash
tmux display-message -p "#{session_name}" 2>/dev/null
# or check if cwd is inside a worktree
-
Read session metadata:
bash
cat .psm-session.json 2>/dev/null
-
Show status:
Current Session: omc:pr-123
Type: review
PR: #123 - Add webhook support
Branch: feature/webhooks
Created: 2 hours ago
Error Handling
| Error | Resolution |
|---|
| Worktree exists | Offer: attach, recreate, or abort |
| PR not found | Verify URL/number, check permissions |
| No tmux | Warn and skip session creation |
| No gh CLI | Error with install instructions |
Teleport Command
The
command provides a lightweight alternative to full PSM sessions. It creates git worktrees without tmux session management — ideal for quick, isolated development.
Usage
bash
# Create worktree for an issue or PR
omc teleport #123
omc teleport owner/repo#123
omc teleport https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/42
# Create worktree for a feature
omc teleport my-feature
# List existing worktrees
omc teleport list
# Remove a worktree
omc teleport remove issue/my-repo-123
omc teleport remove --force feat/my-repo-my-feature
Options
| Flag | Description | Default |
|---|
| Create worktree (default, kept for compatibility) | |
| Custom worktree root directory | ~/Workspace/omc-worktrees/
|
| Base branch to create from | |
| Output as JSON | |
Worktree Layout
~/Workspace/omc-worktrees/
├── issue/
│ └── my-repo-123/ # Issue worktrees
├── pr/
│ └── my-repo-456/ # PR review worktrees
└── feat/
└── my-repo-my-feature/ # Feature worktrees
PSM vs Teleport
| Feature | PSM | Teleport |
|---|
| Git worktree | Yes | Yes |
| Tmux session | Yes | No |
| Claude Code launch | Yes | No |
| Session registry | Yes | No |
| Auto-cleanup | Yes | No |
| Project aliases | Yes | No (uses current repo) |
Use PSM for full managed sessions. Use teleport for quick worktree creation.
