What This Skill Does

Claude Code Wingman is a high-performance orchestration tool designed for power users who leverage Claude Code to manage multiple software engineering projects simultaneously. Instead of tethering yourself to a local terminal, this skill empowers you to control, monitor, and interact with multiple Claude Code sessions running in individual tmux environments directly through WhatsApp. By abstracting the command-line interface into a chat-based dashboard, you can oversee ongoing refactors, bug fixes, and feature implementations from anywhere.

Installation

To integrate this orchestration capability into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/yossiovadia/claude-code-wingman

Use Cases

1. Parallel Development: Manage distinct codebases (e.g., a backend service, a frontend dashboard, and a core utility library) concurrently without switching terminal windows.
2. Remote Approval Management: The most critical use case involves handling Claude Code's approval prompts. Since Claude Code often pauses for human input before executing potentially destructive or sensitive commands, this skill ensures you can hit 'approve' or 'deny' instantly via WhatsApp, keeping your automated development workflows unblocked during meetings or while away from your desk.
3. Fleet Monitoring: Get instant updates on the state of all your active sessions, identifying which agents are active, waiting for input, or stalled.

Example Prompts

1. "Status of all active sessions please."
2. "Approve vsr-bugfix session now."
3. "Always approve heartbeat-test sessions to speed up my work."

Tips & Limitations

• Proactive Monitoring: Keep your session names descriptive and concise so you can easily reference them in chat.
• Security Warning: Since this skill executes shell commands, ensure that your WhatsApp connection and OpenClaw environment are properly secured. Only authorize commands for sessions you recognize.
• Performance: While this tool is excellent for orchestration, remember that Claude Code instances are resource-intensive. Be mindful of your system's CPU and memory limits when spawning multiple parallel sessions simultaneously.
