Supervise Claude Code sessions running in tmux. Uses Claude Code hooks with bash pre-filtering (Option D) and fast LLM triage to detect errors, stuck agents, and task completion. Harness-agnostic — works with OpenClaw, webhooks, ntfy, or any notification backend. Use when: (1) launching long-running Claude Code tasks that need monitoring, (2) setting up automatic nudging for API errors or premature stops, (3) getting progress reports from background coding agents, (4) continuing work after session/context limits reset. Requires: tmux, claude CLI.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Bridge between Claude Code's lifecycle hooks and your agent harness.
Claude Code (in tmux) │ Stop / Error / Notification ▼ Bash pre-filter (Option D) │ obvious cases handled directly │ ambiguous cases pass through ▼ Fast LLM triage (claude -p with Haiku, or local LLM) │ classifies: FINE | NEEDS_NUDGE | STUCK | DONE | ESCALATE │ FINE → logged silently ▼ Notify command (configurable) │ openclaw wake, webhook, ntfy, script, etc. ▼ Agent harness decides + acts │ nudge (send-keys to tmux), wait, escalate to human
{baseDir}/scripts/install-hooks.sh /path/to/your/project Creates: .claude/hooks/supervisor/ — hook scripts + triage .claude/settings.json — wired into Claude Code lifecycle .claude-code-supervisor.yml — configuration (edit this)
Edit .claude-code-supervisor.yml: triage: command: "claude -p --no-session-persistence" # or: ollama run llama3.2 model: "claude-haiku-4-20250414" notify: command: "openclaw gateway call wake --params" # or: curl, ntfy, script
Create ~/.openclaw/workspace/supervisor-state.json (or wherever your harness keeps state): { "sessions": { "my-task": { "socket": "/tmp/openclaw-tmux-sockets/openclaw.sock", "tmuxSession": "my-task", "projectDir": "/path/to/project", "goal": "Fix issue #42", "successCriteria": "Tests pass, committed", "maxNudges": 5, "escalateAfterMin": 60, "status": "running" } } }
SOCKET="/tmp/openclaw-tmux-sockets/openclaw.sock" tmux -S "$SOCKET" new -d -s my-task tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t my-task "cd /path/to/project && claude 'Fix issue #42'" Enter Hooks fire automatically. Triage assesses. You get notified only when it matters.
Not every hook event needs an LLM call. Bash catches the obvious cases first:
SignalBash decisionLLM triage?max_tokensAlways needs attention✅ Yesend_turn + shell prompt backAgent might be done✅ Yesend_turn + no promptAgent is mid-work❌ Skipstop_sequenceNormal❌ Skip
SignalBash decisionLLM triage?API 429 / rate limitTransient, will resolve❌ Log onlyAPI 500Agent likely stuck✅ YesOther tool errorUnknown severity✅ Yes

Wake events arrive with the prefix cc-supervisor: followed by the classification: cc-supervisor: NEEDS_NUDGE | error:api_500 | cwd=/home/user/project | ... cc-supervisor: DONE | stopped:end_turn:prompt_back | cwd=/home/user/project | ...
tmux -S "$SOCKET" send-keys -t "$SESSION" "continue — the API error was transient" Enter
See references/escalation-rules.md for when to nudge vs escalate and quiet hours.
Hooks depend on Claude Code being alive. If the session hard-crashes, hits account limits, or the process gets OOM-killed, no hooks fire. The watchdog catches this. scripts/watchdog.sh is a pure bash script (no LLM, no Claude Code dependency) that: Reads supervisor-state.json for all "running" sessions Checks: is the tmux socket alive? Is the session there? Is Claude Code still running? If something is dead and no hook reported it → notifies via the configured command Updates lastWatchdogAt in state for tracking Run it on a timer. Choose your poison: System cron: */15 * * * * /path/to/claude-code-supervisor/scripts/watchdog.sh OpenClaw cron: { "schedule": { "kind": "every", "everyMs": 900000 }, "payload": { "kind": "systemEvent", "text": "cc-supervisor: watchdog — run /path/to/scripts/watchdog.sh and report" }, "sessionTarget": "main" } systemd timer, launchd, or whatever runs periodically on your box. The watchdog is deliberately dumb — no LLM, no complex logic, just "is the process still there?" This means it works even when the triage model is down, the API is melting, or your account hit its limit. Belts and suspenders.
