Taskman

Taskman: Terminal interface for managing parallel Claude and Codex coding tickets.

Taskman is a terminal UI for working on several coding tickets at once using the Claude or Codex CLI. Each ticket runs in its own git worktree with its issue tracker and GitHub pull request displayed beside it. The sidebar indicates which session requires attention, while project agents coordinate tasks by messaging other sessions. It supports Jira, Linear, GitHub Issues, and local markdown files for tracking. Sessions resume where they left off after a restart and maintain their own conversations.
