What This Skill Does

Runs multiple Claude Code tasks in parallel using tmux sessions. Each task executes in the background so the main session stays unblocked. Includes commands for listing, monitoring, and stopping tasks.

Lets you queue and run multiple Claude Code jobs simultaneously without blocking your terminal or waiting for one to finish before starting the next.

When to use it

  • Generating a Python auth module and React component at the same time
  • Checking progress on a background Claude task mid-conversation
  • Running three microservice scaffolds in parallel without waiting
  • Stopping a specific background task without killing the terminal
  • Reviewing all generated files across concurrent jobs when they finish

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: Build a Go microservice and a React UI component at the same time

AGENT
  1. 1Optimizes prompts for each task and shows them for user approval
  2. 2Starts both as separate background tmux sessions
  3. 3Returns immediately so the user can continue chatting
  4. 4Checks individual task status when user asks for an update
  5. 5Lists generated files in ~/.openclaw/workspace/ when tasks complete
OUTPUT

Both tasks finish in the background; user retrieves generated files without having waited for either to complete
