Worktree-first dev environment manager for issues, PRs, and features with optional tmux sessions
psm is the compatibility alias for this canonical skill entrypoint.
Quick Start (worktree-first): Start with
omc teleportwhen you want an isolated issue/PR/feature worktree before adding any tmux/session orchestration:omc teleport #123 # Create worktree for issue/PR omc teleport my-feature # Create worktree for feature omc teleport list # List worktreesSee Teleport Command below for details.
Automate isolated development environments using git worktrees and tmux sessions with Claude Code. Enables parallel work across multiple tasks, projects, and repositories.
Canonical slash command: /oh-my-claudecode:project-session-manager (alias: ).
/oh-my-claudecode:psm| Command | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
review <ref> | PR review session | /psm review omc#123 |
fix <ref> | Issue fix session | /psm fix omc#42 |
feature <proj> <name> | Feature development | /psm feature omc add-webhooks |
list [project] | List active sessions | /psm list |
attach <session> | Attach to session | /psm attach omc:pr-123 |
kill <session> | Kill session | /psm kill omc:pr-123 |
cleanup | Clean merged/closed | /psm cleanup |
status | Current session info | /psm status |
Supported formats:
omc#123 (requires ~/.psm/projects.json)owner/repo#123https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123#123 (uses current directory's repo)~/.psm/projects.json){
"aliases": {
"omc": {
"repo": "Yeachan-Heo/oh-my-claudecode",
"local": "~/Workspace/oh-my-claudecode",
"default_base": "main"
}
},
"defaults": {
"worktree_root": "~/.psm/worktrees",
"cleanup_after_days": 14
}
}
PSM supports multiple issue tracking providers:
| Provider | CLI Required | Reference Formats | Commands |
|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub (default) | gh | owner/repo#123, alias#123, GitHub URLs | review, fix, feature |
| Jira | jira | PROJ-123 (if PROJ configured), alias#123 | fix, feature |
To use Jira, add an alias with jira_project and provider: "jira":
{
"aliases": {
"mywork": {
"jira_project": "MYPROJ",
"repo": "mycompany/my-project",
"local": "~/Workspace/my-project",
"default_base": "develop",
"provider": "jira"
}
}
}
Important: The repo field is still required for cloning the git repository. Jira tracks issues, but you work in a git repo.
For non-GitHub repos, use clone_url instead:
{
"aliases": {
"private": {
"jira_project": "PRIV",
"clone_url": "[email protected]:team/repo.git",
"local": "~/Workspace/repo",
"provider": "jira"
}
}
}
PSM only recognizes PROJ-123 format as Jira when PROJ is explicitly configured as a jira_project in your aliases. This prevents false positives from branch names like FIX-123.
# Fix a Jira issue (MYPROJ must be configured)
psm fix MYPROJ-123
# Fix using alias (recommended)
psm fix mywork#123
# Feature development (works same as GitHub)
psm feature mywork add-webhooks
# Note: 'psm review' is not supported for Jira (no PR concept)
# Use 'psm fix' for Jira issues
Install the Jira CLI:
# macOS
brew install ankitpokhrel/jira-cli/jira-cli
# Linux
# See: https://github.com/ankitpokhrel/jira-cli#installation
# Configure (interactive)
jira init
The Jira CLI handles authentication separately from PSM.

When the user invokes a PSM command, follow this protocol:
Parse {{ARGUMENTS}} to determine:
review <ref>Purpose: Create PR review session
Steps:
Resolve reference:
# Read project aliases
cat ~/.psm/projects.json 2>/dev/null || echo '{"aliases":{}}'
# Parse ref format: alias#num, owner/repo#num, or URL
# Extract: project_alias, repo (owner/repo), pr_number, local_path
Fetch PR info:
gh pr view <pr_number> --repo <repo> --json number,title,author,headRefName,baseRefName,body,files,url
Ensure local repo exists:
# If local path doesn't exist, clone
if [[ ! -d "$local_path" ]]; then
git clone "https://github.com/$repo.git" "$local_path"
fi
Create worktree:
worktree_path="$HOME/.psm/worktrees/$project_alias/pr-$pr_number"
# Fetch PR branch
cd "$local_path"
git fetch origin "pull/$pr_number/head:pr-$pr_number-review"
# Create worktree
git worktree add "$worktree_path" "pr-$pr_number-review"
Create session metadata:
cat > "$worktree_path/.psm-session.json" << EOF
{
"id": "$project_alias:pr-$pr_number",
"type": "review",
"project": "$project_alias",
"ref": "pr-$pr_number",
"branch": "<head_branch>",
"base": "<base_branch>",
"created_at": "$(date -Iseconds)",
"tmux_session": "psm:$project_alias:pr-$pr_number",
"worktree_path": "$worktree_path",
"source_repo": "$local_path",
"github": {
"pr_number": $pr_number,
"pr_title": "<title>",
"pr_author": "<author>",
"pr_url": "<url>"
},
"state": "active"
}
EOF
Update sessions registry:
# Add to ~/.psm/sessions.json
Create tmux session:
tmux new-session -d -s "psm:$project_alias:pr-$pr_number" -c "$worktree_path"
Launch Claude Code (unless --no-claude):
# --dangerously-skip-permissions prevents the "Do you trust this directory?" prompt
# and repeated tool-approval prompts from stalling the session (issue #2508).
tmux send-keys -t "psm:$project_alias:pr-$pr_number" "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions" Enter
# After claude boots (PSM_CLAUDE_STARTUP_DELAY, default 5s), deliver the task.
# Use -l (literal) so special characters are not misinterpreted by tmux.
sleep "${PSM_CLAUDE_STARTUP_DELAY:-5}"
tmux send-keys -t "psm:$project_alias:pr-$pr_number" -l \
"Review PR #$pr_number: \"$pr_title\" by @$pr_author ($head_branch → $base_branch). URL: $pr_url." Enter
Output session info:
Session ready!
ID: omc:pr-123
Worktree: ~/.psm/worktrees/omc/pr-123
Tmux: psm:omc:pr-123
To attach: tmux attach -t psm:omc:pr-123
fix <ref>Purpose: Create issue fix session
Steps:
Resolve reference (same as review)
Fetch issue info:
gh issue view <issue_number> --repo <repo> --json number,title,body,labels,url
Create feature branch:
cd "$local_path"
git fetch origin main
branch_name="fix/$issue_number-$(echo "$title" | tr ' ' '-' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | head -c 30)"
git checkout -b "$branch_name" origin/main
Create worktree:
worktree_path="$HOME/.psm/worktrees/$project_alias/issue-$issue_number"
git worktree add "$worktree_path" "$branch_name"
Create session metadata (similar to review, type="fix")
Update registry, create tmux, launch claude: Same as review, but pass issue context as the initial task prompt:
tmux send-keys -t "psm:$project_alias:issue-$issue_number" "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions" Enter
# After claude boots, deliver the task (see PSM_CLAUDE_STARTUP_DELAY):
tmux send-keys -t "psm:$project_alias:issue-$issue_number" -l \
"Fix issue #$issue_number: \"$issue_title\". URL: $issue_url. Branch: $branch_name." Enter
feature <project> <name>Purpose: Start feature development
Steps:
Resolve project (from alias or path)
Create feature branch:
cd "$local_path"
git fetch origin main
branch_name="feature/$feature_name"
git checkout -b "$branch_name" origin/main
Create worktree:
worktree_path="$HOME/.psm/worktrees/$project_alias/feat-$feature_name"
git worktree add "$worktree_path" "$branch_name"
Create session, tmux, launch claude with feature context as initial prompt:
tmux send-keys -t "psm:$project_alias:feat-$feature_name" "claude --dangerously-skip-permissions" Enter
tmux send-keys -t "psm:$project_alias:feat-$feature_name" -l \
"Implement feature \"$feature_name\" for project $project. Branch: $branch_name." Enter
list [project]Purpose: List active sessions
Steps:
Read sessions registry:
cat ~/.psm/sessions.json 2>/dev/null || echo '{"sessions":{}}'
Check tmux sessions:
tmux list-sessions -F "#{session_name}" 2>/dev/null | grep "^psm:"
Check worktrees:
ls -la ~/.psm/worktrees/*/ 2>/dev/null
Format output:
Active PSM Sessions:
ID | Type | Status | Worktree
-------------------|---------|----------|---------------------------
omc:pr-123 | review | active | ~/.psm/worktrees/omc/pr-123
omc:issue-42 | fix | detached | ~/.psm/worktrees/omc/issue-42
attach <session>Purpose: Attach to existing session
Steps:
Parse session ID: project:type-number
Verify session exists:
tmux has-session -t "psm:$session_id" 2>/dev/null
Attach:
tmux attach -t "psm:$session_id"
kill <session>Purpose: Kill session and cleanup
Steps:
Kill tmux session:
tmux kill-session -t "psm:$session_id" 2>/dev/null
Remove worktree:
worktree_path=$(jq -r ".sessions[\"$session_id\"].worktree" ~/.psm/sessions.json)
source_repo=$(jq -r ".sessions[\"$session_id\"].source_repo" ~/.psm/sessions.json)
cd "$source_repo"
git worktree remove "$worktree_path" --force
Update registry:
# Remove from sessions.json
cleanupPurpose: Clean up merged PRs and closed issues
Steps:
Read all sessions
For each PR session, check if merged:
gh pr view <pr_number> --repo <repo> --json merged,state
For each issue session, check if closed:
gh issue view <issue_number> --repo <repo> --json closed,state
Clean up merged/closed sessions:
Report:
Cleanup complete:
Removed: omc:pr-123 (merged)
Removed: omc:issue-42 (closed)
Kept: omc:feat-auth (active)
statusPurpose: Show current session info
Steps:
Detect current session from tmux or cwd:
tmux display-message -p "#{session_name}" 2>/dev/null
# or check if cwd is inside a worktree
Read session metadata:
cat .psm-session.json 2>/dev/null
Show status:
Current Session: omc:pr-123
Type: review
PR: #123 - Add webhook support
Branch: feature/webhooks
Created: 2 hours ago
| Error | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Worktree exists | Offer: attach, recreate, or abort |
| PR not found | Verify URL/number, check permissions |
| No tmux | Warn and skip session creation |
| No gh CLI | Error with install instructions |
The omc teleport command provides a lightweight alternative to full PSM sessions. It creates git worktrees without tmux session management — ideal for quick, isolated development.
