Seen on a MacBook (M5 Pro, 2026-11-12), in a real Claude Code session: the lead started a Pi worker and an OpenCode worker on the local model in ITS OWN case, sent both their tasks at once, and reported afterwards that one written answer was lost. Both prompts had named the same file, codeman-answer-<token>.md, and the second worker's summary replaced the first one's. The code the workers wrote was not affected. The token was the second plus $RANDOM. Claude Code runs zsh on a Mac, and zsh hands every subshell the same $RANDOM until the parent shell reads it (measured there: four subshells, one number, where bash drew four). The token line is itself a subshell, so under zsh the "random" part never changed, and two calls in one second shared a token. Workers in their own cases never noticed: same name, different folders, and the marker is matched per pane. The token now ends in six characters of the worker's id. The test makes $RANDOM a plain variable that always reads the same, which is what zsh does, and runs two calls at once. The reference gets one sentence for hand-built markers in a fan-out. No new preamble version: 1.51.0 is not released yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <noreply@anthropic.com>
codeman (Claude Code plugin)
The agent skill for Codeman, the self-hosted mission control for AI coding agents. With it, a Claude Code session running inside Codeman can start other sessions, prompt them, block until they finish, read their answers and clean up, in plain English instead of API calls.
/plugin marketplace add Ark0N/Codeman
/plugin install codeman@codeman
The skill acts inside a Codeman-managed session (CODEMAN_MUX=1). Outside one it only reads saved Codex conversations offline (codeman history read) and refuses everything else, so installing it globally costs nothing for unrelated sessions.
Pick one install route. Codeman injects the skill into each new session's folder itself, on by default since 1.50.0 (App Settings, Agents & CLIs, Codeman Agent Skill), and codeman skill install writes a user-level copy; a Claude Code that has one of those AND this plugin lists the skill twice, as codeman and codeman:codeman. Both work, the second is just noise: turn that setting off, or skip the plugin, if it bothers you.
This directory is a mirror of skills/codeman in the main repository, kept byte-identical by scripts/sync-plugin.mjs and pinned by a test. Edit the source there, never here. npm run check:plugin (repo root, needs the claude CLI) checks the mirror and validates both manifests.
