awman

awman is a skill for Claude Code from vinnie357/claude-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (4,591 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A guide to awman, a tool that runs AI coding agents in isolated containers and coordinates parallel sessions and multi-step workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run Claude Code, Codex, or other agents in Docker or Apple Containers, manage worktrees, and drive runs through an API.
Why use it?
It helps keep agent runs separated and repeatable while explaining the runtime and configuration requirements.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade C, and why

awman scanned grade C with 2 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 238 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

awman

awman is a Rust CLI and TUI for running AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and others) in isolated Docker or Apple Containers sandboxes. It coordinates parallel agent sessions, executes multi-step workflows, and exposes a REST API for headless programmatic control.

awman is not a tmux wrapper. The name invites that assumption. awman ships its own tab-based TUI with its own keybindings. Tmux is not a dependency.

awman was previously named amux. See "Migrating from amux" below.

Prerequisites

A container runtime, set via the global-only runtime config key (awman config set --global runtime <value>, then awman ready):

runtime value Platforms Requirements
docker (default) Linux, macOS, Windows Docker daemon
apple-containers macOS 26+ native container CLI
docker-sbx-experimental macOS arm64, Windows x86_64 sbx CLI (brew install docker/tap/sbx + sbx login)

docker-sbx-experimental (new in 0.10.0) runs each session in a dedicated microVM — private kernel, filesystem, and Docker daemon. It does not honor dir(), skill, or context overlays; networking goes through an HTTP/HTTPS proxy (raw TCP/UDP blocked); sandboxes persist between sessions. The runtime must be running and healthy before any awman session starts. This runtime requires a free Docker account; sbx login is a one-time authentication step that must complete before awman ready reports the runtime healthy.

Install

Mise is the recommended install path. It manages the version, pins reproducibly, and uses the GitHub releases backend — no extra dependencies.

A ready-to-copy pin lives at templates/0.11.0/mise.toml in this skill — copy it into the target repo's mise.toml (or merge under [tools]) and run mise install.

Global pin (one-time, any project):

mise use -g github:prettysmartdev/[email protected]

What ships with it

10 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

awman is a skill published in the GitHub repository vinnie357/claude-skills (25 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 4,591 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
