CCManager is a command-line application for managing multiple sessions of AI coding assistants across Git worktrees and projects. It is for developers working with tools such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor Agent, Copilot CLI, Cline CLI, OpenCode, and Kimi CLI, and the catalogue entries provide commands and instructions for its workflows.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00688 | $0.00688 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00275 | $0.00275 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00138 | $0.00138 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00069 | $0.00069 |
Grade A, and why
ccmanager product.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Product Overview
Product Description
CCManager is a Terminal User Interface (TUI) application that enables developers to manage multiple AI coding assistant sessions across Git worktrees and projects. It provides a unified interface for running Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other AI coding assistants in parallel, allowing seamless context switching between different branches and repositories.
Core Features
- Multi-Session Management: Run multiple AI assistant sessions simultaneously across different Git worktrees
- Multi-Project Support: Manage multiple git repositories from a single interface with automatic project discovery
- Worktree Operations: Create, delete, and merge Git worktrees directly from the TUI
- Real-time Session Monitoring: Visual indicators showing session states (idle, busy, waiting for input)
- Session Data Copying: Transfer Claude Code conversation history and context between worktrees
- Devcontainer Integration: Run AI sessions inside containers while managing from the host machine
- Git Status Visualization: Real-time display of file changes, commits ahead/behind parent branch
- Configurable Keyboard Shortcuts: Customize navigation and actions via UI or JSON configuration
- Command Presets: Pre-configured commands with automatic fallback support for different AI assistants
- Status Change Hooks: Execute custom commands when session states change (for notifications, logging, etc.)
- Worktree Hooks: Automate environment setup when creating new worktrees
- Vi-like Search: Fast filtering of projects and worktrees with
/key
Target Use Cases
Primary Use Case: Parallel Development with AI Assistance
Developers working on multiple features or bug fixes simultaneously can maintain separate Claude Code sessions for each worktree, preserving context and conversation history per branch.
Key Scenarios:
- Feature Development: Create feature branches with copied session data to maintain project context
- Code Review: Compare implementations across worktrees with dedicated AI sessions
- Experimentation: Test different approaches in isolated worktrees with fresh AI contexts
- Multi-Repository Workflows: Navigate between different projects while keeping all AI sessions active
- Sandboxed Development: Use devcontainer integration for secure AI-assisted coding with network restrictions
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ccmanager product.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository kbwo/ccmanager (1,266 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 688 tokens to every session, about $0.0028 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-06.
