Core Workflow
// 1. Start session (any engine)
claude_session_start({ name: "myproject", cwd: "/path/to/project", engine: "claude" })
claude_session_start({ name: "codex-task", cwd: "/path/to/project", engine: "codex" })
claude_session_start({ name: "gemini-task", cwd: "/path/to/project", engine: "gemini" })
claude_session_start({ name: "cursor-task", cwd: "/path/to/project", engine: "cursor" })
// 2. Send messages
claude_session_send({ name: "myproject", message: "Fix the auth bug" })
// 3. Check status / search history
claude_session_status({ name: "myproject" })
claude_session_grep({ name: "myproject", pattern: "error" })
// 4. Stop when done
claude_session_stop({ name: "myproject" })
Session Options
| Parameter |
Description |
engine |
claude (default), codex, gemini, cursor |
model |
Model name or alias (opus, sonnet, haiku, gpt-5.4, gemini-pro, composer-2) |
permissionMode |
acceptEdits, auto, plan, bypassPermissions, default |
effort |
low, medium, high, max, auto |
maxBudgetUsd |
Cost limit in USD |
allowedTools |
List of allowed tool names |
CLI 2.1.111 options
| Parameter |
Description |
bare |
Minimal mode — no CLAUDE.md, hooks, LSP, auto-memory. Auto-enables prompt cache optimizations (see below). |
includeHookEvents |
Stream hook lifecycle events (PreToolUse/PostToolUse). |
permissionPromptTool |
Delegate permission prompts to an MCP tool for non-interactive use. |
excludeDynamicSystemPromptSections |
Move cwd/env/git from system prompt to user message for better prompt cache hits. Auto-enabled with bare: true. |
enablePromptCaching1H |
Enable 1-hour prompt cache TTL (vs default 5-min). Auto-enabled with bare: true. |
debug / debugFile |
Targeted debug output by category (e.g. "api,mcp") and optional file path. |
fromPr |
Resume a session linked to a GitHub PR number or URL. |
channels / dangerouslyLoadDevelopmentChannels |
MCP channel subscriptions (research preview). |
Smart defaults: When bare: true, the plugin auto-enables --exclude-dynamic-system-prompt-sections and ENABLE_PROMPT_CACHING_1H=1 unless explicitly set to false.
Multi-Agent Council
Parallel agent collaboration with git worktree isolation and consensus voting. Agents can use different engines.
// Start a council
council_start({
task: 'Build a REST API',
agents: [
{ name: 'Architect', emoji: '🏗️', persona: 'System design', engine: 'claude' },
{ name: 'Engineer', emoji: '⚙️', persona: 'Implementation', engine: 'codex' },
],
maxRounds: 5,
projectDir: '/path/to/project',
});
Council lifecycle: council_start → poll council_status → council_review → council_accept or council_reject.
For details: see references/council.md
Cross-Session Messaging
Sessions can communicate. Idle sessions receive immediately; busy sessions queue.
claude_session_send_to({ from: "sender", to: "receiver", message: "Auth module needs rate limiting" })
claude_session_send_to({ from: "monitor", to: "*", message: "Build failed!" }) // broadcast
claude_session_inbox({ name: "receiver" })
claude_session_deliver_inbox({ name: "receiver" })
Team Tools (All Engines)
- Claude: native
/team and @teammate commands
- Codex/Gemini/Cursor: virtual teams via cross-session inbox routing
claude_team_list({ name: "myproject" })
claude_team_send({ name: "myproject", teammate: "teammate", message: "Review this" })
Ultraplan & Ultrareview
- Ultraplan: Opus deep planning session (up to 30 min), produces detailed implementation plan
- Ultrareview: Fleet of 5-20 bug-hunting agents reviewing in parallel (security, logic, perf, types, etc.)
Both are async — start then poll status.

Authentication Prerequisites
Each engine requires its own auth before use:
- Claude:
claude /login or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
- Codex:
codex login or OPENAI_API_KEY
- Gemini:
gemini login or GEMINI_API_KEY
- Cursor:
agent login or CURSOR_API_KEY

1---2name: claude-code-skill-23description: Manage persistent coding sessions across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor engines. Use when orchestrating multi-engine coding agents, starting/sending/stopping sessions, running multi-agent council collaborations, cross-session messaging, ultraplan deep planning, ultrareview parallel code review, or switching models/tools at runtime. Triggers on "start a session", "send to session", "run council", "ultraplan", "ultrareview", "switch model", "multi-agent", "coding session", "session inbox", "cursor agent". Use when this capability is needed.4---56# Claude Code Skill78Persistent multi-engine coding session manager.
