Manage CLI coding-agent sessions with Claude Code Tools
Use Claude Code Tools when an operator needs installable CLI utilities, hooks, skills, and plugins for session management, tmux control, context handling, local safety checks, and cross-agent productivity workflows.

Use Claude Code Tools when a coding-agent operator wants a repeatable local toolchain around Claude Code, Codex CLI, and similar terminal-based assistants. The workflow installs the upstream package, then uses documented utilities such as aichat session management, tmux-cli terminal automation, agent-tunnel, lmsh, vault, env-safe, statusline, fix-session, safety hooks, voice tools, and Google Docs or Sheets integrations where they fit the active agent session.
What this skill actually does
Invoke it instead of using the coding agent normally when the job is to make agent sessions more controllable, recoverable, reviewable, and integrated with local terminal workflows. The scope boundary is the documented local productivity toolchain for coding-agent operation. It is not a generic Claude Code plugin listing, a hosted IDE, a model provider, or a broad SDK entry; publish copy should keep the emphasis on concrete operator utilities that can be installed and run locally.
Inputs and prerequisites: Python tooling with uv or pipx-compatible installation; optional Homebrew or Cargo for the aichat-search Rust binary; Claude Code plugin support for hooks, skills, and agents when using the Claude-specific plugin path; terminal-based coding agents such as Claude Code or Codex CLI for the cross-agent workflows.
Setup notes: Install the core package with uv tool install claude-code-tools. Install Google Docs or Sheets extras with uv tool install “claude-code-tools[gdocs]”. Install the Claude Code plugin marketplace with claude plugin marketplace add pchalasani/claude-code-tools. Install aichat-search separately with brew install pchalasani/tap/aichat-search, cargo install aichat-search, or a prebuilt release binary.
Source and verification boundary: use https://pchalasani.github.io/claude-code-tools/ and https://github.com/pchalasani/claude-code-tools as the canonical references before running the workflow; keep commands, hooks, integrations, and generated outputs reviewable against that upstream source.
Framework fit: publish this as a Multi-Framework workflow only where the operator is using the documented local toolchain with supported coding-agent CLIs, rather than treating the repository as a generic productivity bundle.
