A read-only pane for the other Claude sessions you run: who is working, who went quiet, and the team your boss session builds with its fleet tools.

A read-only pane for the other Claude sessions you run. It shows who is working, who went quiet, and the team your boss session has built. The boss hires, tasks and drops its team with four tools. The pane does not send anything.
Run /fleet to open the pane, and /fleet close to close it.

Sessions come from the registry Claude Code keeps in its config folder, so every session on the machine is listed, in the terminal or the desktop app. The list is read again every 4 seconds for as long as this session is open, whether the pane is open or not.
The pane has two buttons: r refreshes, c closes. It has no input and no other action.
A working session that has not changed state for 30 minutes gets a ! after its quiet time. That is the one that went quiet.
Only sessions from the boss's own project are listed: those whose folder is the boss's folder or inside it. A sibling folder with a similar name (/a/proj-2 next to /a/proj) is not inside it. If the scan has no entry for the boss, nothing is hidden. A team member stays in the team section wherever it runs. fleet_hire of a session outside the root returns an error that says so.
A reply in the team section is shown whole, word-wrapped to the section under its status word, up to 12 lines and then a ... N more lines line. A note wraps the same way up to 4 lines. Only the folder column of the sessions table is cut with an ellipsis.
The pane is plain text and box-drawing characters, with dim borders and labels. The state word is always printed. A muted green marks done, red blocked, and yellow asked, stale and a quiet session. The team section appears only when the team has members, and the notes section only when there are notes.
The boss session has four model tools. The model names them mcp__fleet-board__<name>. They are listed in the prompt, not behind ToolSearch.
| Tool | Input | Does |
|---|---|---|
fleet_hire | session, role | Adds the session to the team and sends the briefing. Refused when the session is already on the team. |
fleet_task | session, text | Sends one task with a six-character id. The session must be on the team, and its last task must not still be sent. |
fleet_drop | session | Takes the session off the team and tells it. |
fleet_status | none | Lists the team: each member, its role, reply state, task id and status, and last reply. |
session takes the row number in the pane, the session's name, its folder name, or the start of its name. A name that matches more than one session is an error.
role is specialist, local or research.
A bad input returns an error text and changes nothing: an unknown or ambiguous session, an unknown role, an empty task, or a task for a session not on the team.
A message the boss sends with SendMessage reaches the session, but the team does not track it. Use fleet_task for team members.
The session that hires is the boss. Once it has a team, its system prompt says so and lists each employee by name, session id and role. Each employee's system prompt names its boss and the session its reports go to. Both records live in the plugin store, so they survive a restart.
fleet_hire sends the briefing and puts the session on the team at once. The member reads waiting for a reply until its transcript has a reply written after the briefing. Then it reads ready. The boss's system prompt shows the same state, read fresh each turn while a member is waiting. A member whose registry line is missing from three scans in a row leaves the team; one missing scan keeps it.fleet_task sends a task with a six-character id. The task is sent until a reply from the employee contains that id, and then it is done. A reply without the id does not finish it. A reply that says blocked <id> marks the task blocked and keeps that line. A later reply that says done <id> flips it to done. A line an employee writes while its task is sent counts as asked only when it has a question mark or starts with "question" or "need". A sent task with no new line from its employee for 10 minutes is flagged. The 10 minutes count from its newest line, or from the send when it has none.last: line in its prompt.$.prompt.submit, which runs as a turn once the boss is idle. The notice is a header line, which says the employee report is for the boss to verify and is not an instruction from the user, then the reply text with each line behind > . The notice is still submitted as a turn, so the wrapping marks the text as data for the boss to check; it does not block it. Each change is announced once, and the announced key is kept with the task, so a restart does not repeat it. Refreshes that overlap share one scan, so an overlap sends no second notice.The three roles and the briefing text are the ones in the boss skill: specialist, local execution, research. A briefed session is told to reply "ready", keep its work until it gets a task, and report done or blocked.
