## The Problem
You're running Claude Code for a complex refactor. 3 hours in:
- 💥 **Session crashes** — your context is gone
- 🔄 **Token limit hit** — manual `/clear` interrupts flow
- 😴 **You went to sleep** — Claude finished at 2am and sat idle for 6 hours
- 🤯 **5 parallel sessions** — which one had the auth fix again?
**Claude Code is powerful. Managing it shouldn't be painful.**

## The Solution
## 🚨 The Problem
You're running Claude Code on a complex refactor. **Three hours in:**
| Issue | Impact |
|-------|--------|
| 💥 **Session crashes** | All your context is gone. Start over. |
| 🔄 **Token limit hit** | Forced to manually `/clear` — breaks your flow |
| 😴 **You went to sleep** | Claude finished at 2am, sat idle for 6 hours |
| 🤯 **5 parallel sessions** | Which one had the auth fix? Where's the API changes? |
| 💸 **Surprise costs** | No visibility into token usage until the bill arrives |
**Claude Code is incredibly powerful.**
**Now you can track and manage it like never before.**

## Features
## 🎮 Features
### 🖥️ Multi-Session Management
### Real-Time Terminal Streaming
Spawn up to **20 parallel Claude sessions**, each with:
- Full xterm.js terminal with resize support
- Independent token tracking and cost monitoring
- One-click kill or bulk session management
- Tab-based navigation with keyboard shortcuts
<p align="center">
<img src="docs/screenshots/session-running.png" alt="Terminal Streaming" width="800">
</p>
### 💾 Session Persistence
- **60fps rendering** — Server batches at 16ms, client uses `requestAnimationFrame`
- **Full xterm.js** — Colors, cursor, resize, selection, everything works
- **No polling** — Real-time SSE for instant updates
**Never lose work again.** Every session runs in GNU Screen:
### Smart Token Management
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ TOKEN LIFECYCLE │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 0k ─────────── 110k ─────────── 140k ─────────── 200k │
│ │ │ │
│ ▼ ▼ │
│ Auto-Compact Auto-Clear │
│ (/compact) (/clear) │
│ │ │ │
│ └── Summarize ───┴── Reset & Continue ─► │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
| Threshold | Action | What Happens |
|-----------|--------|--------------|
| **110k tokens** | Auto `/compact` | Context is summarized, work continues |
| **140k tokens** | Auto `/clear` | Full reset with `/init`, fresh start |
**Configure per-session:**
```bash
curl -X POST localhost:3000/api/sessions/:id/auto-compact \
-d '{"enabled": true, "threshold": 100000}'
```
### Session Persistence
Every Claude session runs inside GNU Screen with environment awareness:
```bash
# Your session survives:
- Server restarts
- Browser crashes
- Network disconnects
- Machine sleep/wake
# Sessions know they're managed:
# Inside every Claudeman session:
CLAUDEMAN_SCREEN=1
CLAUDEMAN_SESSION_ID=abc-123
CLAUDEMAN_SESSION_ID=abc-123-def
CLAUDEMAN_SCREEN_NAME=claudeman-myproject
```
### 🔄 Autonomous Respawn
**Why this matters:**
- Claude knows it's in a managed session
- Won't accidentally kill its own screen
- The default CLAUDE.md template includes safety instructions
The **Respawn Controller** keeps Claude productive while you're away:
### Resource Monitoring
```
WATCHING → SENDING_UPDATE → WAITING → SENDING_CLEAR → SENDING_INIT → repeat
```
The dashboard shows real-time resource usage:
Configure it once, let it run for hours:
```bash
curl -X POST localhost:3000/api/sessions/:id/respawn/enable \
-d '{"config": {"updatePrompt": "continue improving the code"}, "durationMinutes": 480}'
```
### 📊 Smart Token Management
| Threshold | Action | Why |
|-----------|--------|-----|
| 110k tokens | Auto `/compact` | Summarize context before limit |
| 140k tokens | Auto `/clear` | Reset to prevent hard-stop |
No more surprise context exhaustion. No more manual intervention.
### 🎯 Ralph Loop Integration
Claudeman **natively tracks Ralph Wiggum loops** running inside Claude:
```
Detected: <promise>REFACTOR_COMPLETE</promise>
Loop: REFACTOR_COMPLETE (4.2h elapsed)
Tasks: 8/12 complete
```
Auto-enables when it detects:
- `<promise>PHRASE</promise>` completion patterns
- TodoWrite usage (`- [ ]`, `- [x]`)
- Iteration patterns (`[5/50]`, `Iteration 5 of 50`)
- `/ralph-loop:ralph-loop` commands
### ⚡ 60fps Terminal Streaming
- Server batches at 16ms intervals
- Client uses `requestAnimationFrame` for smooth rendering
- No polling — real-time SSE for instant updates
### 🚀 Performance Optimized
Built for smooth operation even with multiple long-running sessions:
- **CSS containment** — isolated paint operations for each component
- **Incremental DOM updates** — only changed elements re-render
- **Input batching** — keystrokes coalesced at 60fps
- **Event debouncing** — reduced server load from rapid state changes
- **Memory management** — automatic buffer trimming prevents leaks
| Metric | Location | Warning Threshold |
|--------|----------|-------------------|
| Memory per session | Monitor panel | Yellow at 500MB, Red at 1GB |
| Total screen count | Status bar | Shown with uptime |
| Token usage | Per-session | Color-coded by threshold |
| Cost tracking | Per-session | Running USD total |

## Ralph Loop
## 🔁 Ralph Wiggum Loops
The **Ralph Loop** is Claudeman's killer feature — run Claude autonomously for 24+ hours.
The **Ralph Loop** is Claudeman's killer feature: **run Claude autonomously for 24+ hours**.
<p align="center">
<img src="docs/images/ralph-tracker-16tasks.png" alt="Ralph Loop Tracking" width="800">
</p>
### How It Works
1. **Assign task** → Claude starts working
2. **Monitor output** → Detect completion signals
3. **Auto-cycle** → Clear context, re-init, continue
4. **Time-aware** → Generate follow-up tasks if minimum duration not reached
### Example: Overnight Code Review
```bash
# Queue your tasks
claudeman task add "Review all code in src/ for bugs"
claudeman task add "Add missing test coverage"
claudeman task add "Update documentation"
# Start the loop (run for at least 8 hours)
claudeman ralph start --min-hours 8
# Go to sleep. Wake up to:
# - All tasks completed
# - Auto-generated follow-ups (optimizations, security checks)
# - Full git history of changes
```

### Completion Detection
### Detection Patterns
| Pattern | Example |
|---------|---------|
| Promise tags | `<promise>COMPLETE</promise>` |
| Custom phrases | `<promise>AUTH_REFACTOR_DONE</promise>` |
| Common indicators | "All tasks completed", "✓ Done" |
Claudeman automatically detects Ralph loops when it sees:
| Pattern | Example | Auto-Enables |
|---------|---------|--------------|
| Promise tags | `<promise>COMPLETE</promise>` | ✅ |
| Custom phrases | `<promise>AUTH_REFACTOR_DONE</promise>` | ✅ |
| TodoWrite | `- [ ] Task`, `- [x] Done` | ✅ |
| Iterations | `[5/50]`, `Iteration 5 of 50` | ✅ |
| Skill command | `/ralph-loop:ralph-loop` | ✅ |
### Running a Ralph Loop
**Via CLI:**
```bash
# Queue tasks
claudeman task add "Review all files in src/ for security issues"
claudeman task add "Add comprehensive test coverage"
claudeman task add "Update all documentation"
# Start loop (minimum 8 hours)
claudeman ralph start --min-hours 8
# Check status
claudeman ralph status
```
**Via API:**
```bash
# Enable respawn with timer
curl -X POST localhost:3000/api/sessions/:id/respawn/enable \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"config": {
"updatePrompt": "continue improving the codebase",
"idleTimeoutMs": 5000
},
"durationMinutes": 480
}'
```
### Time-Aware Loops
When you specify a minimum duration, Claudeman:
1. Completes all primary tasks
2. Checks elapsed time
3. **If minimum not reached:** Generates follow-up tasks
- Code optimization
- Test coverage improvements
- Security hardening
- Documentation gaps
4. Only outputs completion phrase when time is met

## 📊 Performance
Built for **24+ hour autonomous runs** with multiple sessions:
| Optimization | Implementation |
|--------------|----------------|
| **60fps streaming** | 16ms server batching, `requestAnimationFrame` client |
| **Memory management** | Auto-trimming buffers (5MB → 4MB on overflow) |
| **Event debouncing** | 50-500ms debounce on rapid state changes |
| **CSS containment** | Isolated paint operations per component |
| **Incremental DOM** | Only changed elements re-render |
### Buffer Limits
| Buffer | Max Size | Trim To |
|--------|----------|---------|
| Terminal | 5MB | 4MB |
| Text output | 2MB | 1.5MB |
| Messages | 1000 | 800 |
| Respawn buffer | 1MB | 512KB |
### Best Practices
1. **Enable auto-compact** at 110k tokens
2. **Enable auto-clear** at 140k tokens
3. **Use screen sessions** for persistence
4. **Commit frequently** in Ralph loops
5. **Monitor resource indicators** in the UI
| Respawn | 1MB | 512KB |

## Why Claudeman?
| Challenge | Without Claudeman | With Claudeman |
|-----------|-------------------|----------------|
| Session crashes | Lost context, manual restart | GNU Screen auto-recovery |
| Token limits | Surprise hard-stops | Auto-compact/clear at thresholds |
| Overnight runs | Claude sits idle | Respawn controller keeps working |
| 5+ parallel sessions | Tab hell, lost track | Web UI with real-time monitoring |
| Ralph loop tracking | Manual checking | Automatic detection + UI |
| Cost tracking | Surprise bills | Real-time per-session costs |
---
## Troubleshooting
### Session Won't Start
```bash
which claude # Is Claude CLI installed?
claude --version # Check version
screen -ls # Check for stuck screens
pkill -f "SCREEN.*claudeman" # Kill all claudeman screens
```
### High Memory Usage
```bash
# Lower the auto-clear threshold
curl -X POST localhost:3000/api/sessions/:id/auto-clear \
-d '{"enabled": true, "threshold": 100000}'
```
### Respawn Not Working
1. Check session is idle (look for `↵ send` indicator)
2. Verify respawn is enabled via API
3. Increase `idleTimeoutMs` if detection is too aggressive
