Manage your Claude Code agents in Raycast

A new Raycast extension called Claude Fleet lets developers manage Claude Code agents, pull requests, and worktrees directly from the Raycast launcher, reading Claude's session registry to show live agents without hooks. The tool provides 14 commands for spawning agents, reviewing PRs, and switching contexts with a single keystroke, aiming to reduce terminal context-switching.

See your Claude Code agents, PRs, and worktrees in Raycast — and hand any of them to an agent in one keystroke. Plus an ambient menu-bar read on who needs you.

Note

Built and in daily use as a local Raycast dev extension. Full design in ** SPEC.md**.

Liveness needs no hooks— the extension reads Claude Code's

ownsession registry (

~/.claude/sessions

) directly, so active agents show up out of the box. The bundled helpersadd the richer touches (Focus Tab, per-turn state, Spawn, Undo).

Every dev surface — a PR, an issue, a running agent, a past session, a worktree — carries a one-keystroke hand it to an agent action. That's the whole idea: stop context-switching to a terminal to start work; start it from wherever you already are.

Fourteen commands, grouped by what you reach for.

Command Mode What it does
Spawn Agent

New Session Repo pickers (Review PR · New Session · Spawn) are recency-sorted: your

localrepos first, then everything you can access onGitHub— remote picks are cloned on demand.

Prerequisites: macOS · Raycast · Claude Code · gh ·

git

· jq

· a terminal (Ghosttyrecommended)

git clone https://github.com/vmc-7645/claude-fleet.git && cd claude-fleet

helpers/install.sh

gh auth login

cd extension && npm ci && npm run dev

Then two one-time steps:

Restart Claude Code so the new hooks load.Grant Raycast Accessibility— System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → enable** Raycast**. Needed for the tab-focus / keystroke actions;gh

reads work without it.

That's it — open Raycast and search Claude Fleet.

Preferences (Raycast → Extensions → Claude Fleet → ⚙️)

Terminal— where agents open:** Ghostty**(default), iTerm2, or Apple Terminal. Focus Tab / Nudge / Close Tab need Ghostty (per-tab accessibility); every other action (Resume, Fork, Review, Spawn, New Session…) works on any of them.Agent primary action— Focus Tab vs Resume in New Tab (what Enter does on a live agent).** Quick replies**— comma-separated canned follow-ups for the Quick Reply action.** Editor command**—code

/ … forOpen in Editor(must be onPATH

).Repos directory— override discovery root. Blank →~/.config/claude-fleet/repos.env

~/Repos

.

The extension is a thin, declarative UI over a few data sources it reads directly — no daemon, no polling service, nothing to keep running.

Where each fact comes from

Source Gives
~/.claude/sessions/*.json
Active agents — Claude's own live registry (sessionId · cwd · pid · busy/idle). Authoritative liveness, no hooks needed.
~/.claude/projects/*.jsonl
Recent sessions — title (aiTitle ), pending question (last assistant message), turn count, token usage. Parsed metadata is cached by file mtime.
~/.claude/fleet/*.json
Optional enrichment from the fleet-register hook — finer state (waiting / done), task label, diff, mode.
gh
Cross-repo PRs & issues, CI rollup, remote repo list.

The local commands + hooks the extension drives are vendored in (

helpers/

claude-worktree

, claude-undo

, claude-restore

, and the tab-status

/ fleet-register

/ checkpoint

hooks) — see helpers/README. The extension degrades gracefully without them: Focus Tab falls back to raising the terminal; Spawn / Undo report the missing command.

The tab-status

hook titles each Ghostty tab <emoji> <repo>:<branch> — <task>

. Ghostty exposes tabs as a native AXTabGroup

of AXRadioButton

s (titles = those strings), so the extension matches an agent to its tab by repo:branch

and AXPress

es it — jumping you straight there (even across Spaces for a fullscreen window). No match → it raises the terminal.
